Could you guys check your findings against what is being rendered in

I'll try to look tonight and see if what's in the bug is in the book.
Dependency lists are being worked on if I understand correctly but
aren't completed yet. If there are lists-in-progress, please post them
so no duplicate work is going to be done (since it can be quite the time
consuming task, nobody wants to waste their time).
Chris is uncovering new dependencies all the time. (Un)Fortunately,
he's recently uncovered a couple test suite dependencies that will
probably require some changes to the build order. Anyone is welcome
to go to the bottom of ticket 684
(http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/684) and comment on the
libtool/autoconf/automake issues.
I've started listing every package dependency (will even include what's
already in the book) here -
http://linuxfromscratch.org/~chris/dependencies.txt - it's easy to lose
track in the bug so it's good to have all the info in one place. Also, I
put a comment in the bug asking for opinions about exactly how all the
dependencies should be listed. There should probably be an additional
page describing how the build order came about, and listing all
dependencies that depend on a specific order. I don't know what that
listing should look like though. Anyone have any thoughts on this? One
possibility would be a table...
Column 1 (Package) Column 2 (depends on) Column 3 (reason)
Gerard, some time ago you said you like to have Vim built as early as
possible. Is this still the case? I believe it can be moved right
after the current location of Readline without suffering any
regressions.
So, the status depends on two things:
1. Chris needs to give his opinion on whether the dependencies have
been exhausted
or not.
I thought a while ago that they were exhausted, although the last time I
went through all the packages I think I was pretty thorough, including
checking all the testsuites, so I've probably got most of them.
2. We need to decide on a final order given the
libtool/autoconf/automake business and
the location of Vim. After this is decided, I'll kick off another
ICA run to make sure
everything builds as expected.
