I found it usefull, some chapters are now correct compared with the official Version 2014-11-23, e.g. LibreOffice. However, and I hope you developers will understand this. there exists actually a current developer version HTML, a Development BLFS systemd (HTML) version, and a Krejzi's Beyond Linux® From Scratch version. I am not mentioning the stable versions. Some time ago, I asked the question, if I should build a normal BLFS system or better build the new systemd one. The answer was, more or less, systemd is the future. OK. I built it, with success up to now. Now, a user has to learn, that systemd could be the future, but also could not. Furthermore, there are now two competing systemd systems, an official one and another one, "hopefully not so broken as the official one" ! What the user needs ( I am not talking about distributors, they probably knows better what is happening ) is a clear statement: if you use systemd, you will have these adventages/disadventages, and the same for the old udev alternative, The last thing I want to have is an official and an inofficial version of systemd. The discussion about differences and perhaps errors should be an internal one, leading to just one recommended systemd in BLFS, hopefull more or less free of bugs.Developers should be able to do this.
