Okay, so I was just thinking...<replaceable><Deity></replaceable> help us! I figure we have at least 6 months, potentially a year until the next major LFS release, and now seems like a pretty good time to explore some of the ideas that have been shelved for previous releases, and even some new ones. Here is a quick list to see if there is any interest. I'll reply to my own post afterward to separate my own suggestions from the initial list.
* Package Management - Always causes a good debate. * DESTDIR - Been mentioned several times and actually this is not too disruptive (I did a POC about 3 years ago). * LSB Compliance - For LFS we are nearly there anyway. * Dynamic boot script - No more static list of links, this kind of ties into LSB Bootscripts, but there are other options. * Multi-lib - Shunned previously, but there are many projects that expect this environment. * EGlibC - Seems like Debian and friends are moving to EGlibc, gives us a couple of niceties but nothing major, not sure what other distros are doing, but I've seen a lot of mentions of it recently. The work is already done by the way, our fellow devs at CLFS already have it covered for us. * Modular *.d/ directories - I'm pretty sure this is already covered in another thread, but it should be done by default where possible. * Anything else that I've missed -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
