Ken, I don't think you understand. We are not talking about integrating a package manager into LFS. We are talking about expanding section 6.3 a bit and changing the install technique to use DESTDIR. The later effort can be used by one of several package management techniques, but can be useful without any package management. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
