Let me put that another way: the chances that I get any interest in having one are slim :) But it's nice to know than one can be had cheaply. > > Having met those two conditions, I would be totally fine with putting > > it in the book.

Right. I was thinking something a little more formalized. The jh branch is where some experiments, including multiple arch support, have been going on. I was thinking that once multiple arches hits trunk, there could be a branch that's specifically for handling other arches. I.e., the differences from trunk are only what would be needed for this arch or that arch. The jh branch could go on experimenting with other things that seem interesting. Unless the jh branch is really an alias for multiple arches. In which case, carry on. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
