I looked through the lfs-dev list threads for all of 2015 and found
no answer.
Further investigation revealed quite a discussion of
dbus/attr/acl/libcap in May '14, which I read. I have no intention of
using systemd, and never have enabled extended attributes, nor
installed attr/acl, so far (as an additional level of complication and
maintenance without an obvious cost/benefit payback). I find myself
agreeing with the faction that they aren't necessary in LFS (even
though there is a point to be made about some of these additions and
XML::Parser being widely used in BLFS). But I am similarly reluctant
to deviate from the book.
I guess, perhaps the point being less obviously buried in the lists, my
question is where is all this going? Are these to be serious prereqs?
Is LFS abandoning it's minimalist past?
We've never been completely minimalist. If we were, we'd remove vim,
among others. I'll note that we do not mention LFS packages in BLFS as
dependencies at all, so there may be some BLFS packages that may cause
problems is you skip some LFS packages.
