My opinion is that it is more important to satisfy as many of the requisites for the test suites as possible. If that means something needs to be out of alphabetical order, then so be it. The whole purpose of this change is so that LFS can legitimately describe, and explain, why the order is the way is. If saying that this is before that and that is before this because it is necessary to fulfill requirements of foo's test suite, then to me that is a legitimate explanation of why the order is the way it is. In fact, keeping it alphabetical, for no other reason that to keep it alphabetical, when this breaks (or affords less quality of) test suites, is simply wrong. Of course, just IMHO. But that is what you were asking for. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 08:28:00 up 17 days, 16:37, 3 users, load average: 0.12, 0.26, 0.45 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
