Is what we have really that confusing?
In that few people ever read the Dependencies Appendix then, probably not.
I did: I saw some LFS packages listed as "Optional dependencies".
Then Ken said "no packages in LFS are optional"
But now you have said:
"The only place there are optional packages listed from LFS is shadow
where we list acl and attr. We can move those up to the depends
section, but they really are optional."
By the way, with regard to:
It's just that we do install those optional packages in Chapter 6 before shadow,
well, not in the online book I just read at
http://linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/stable/LFS-BOOK-9.0-NOCHUNKS.html
we don't:
6.20. Shadow-4.7
6.25. Attr-2.4.48
6.26. Acl-2.2.53
You're right. I forgot we moved shadow up before glibc so glibc could
use su in its tests. We did that a little over a year ago.
Sigh. I suppose we ought to move attr and acl to before shadow.
