Well, I can't see us supporting a /usr/games directory. As best as I can recall, this would violate the FHS. Additionally, I recall being able to disable the Fortune stuff in XScreenSaver. Perhaps I'm mistaken on the disabling, though. > 2) xfce-4.4.0 doesn't display tips if fortune is not installed Hmmm. Could you expand a bit on this? I'm not doubting you, I simply don't understand the relationship. Does XFCE use the Fortune engine, or what? Certainly it doesn't need all the quotes and stuff. > For me, this is a sufficient reason to suggest including fortune-mod-1.99.1 > and its required dependency "recode" into the book. Any objections or > additional notes? Before adding it, could you explain a few things? 1) What directory should it (Fortune) be installed in? 2) What section of the book would they be in? 3) Are both packages CMMI? I for one (though it is just an opinion) don't see the need for Fortune in BLFS. However, that is not a guideline, I'm just offering my view. The community decision will be the guiding force. My biggest thing is where in the book would we put it. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
