Yes, it is an oversight. As I said, we need more eyes on this one. Overall, I think this is the most complex set of packages we've done. -- Bruce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I put some basic comments on plasma into the kf5 wiki page a while
ago (for want of anywhere more appropriate), in particular mentioning
things which people might not need to build. As well as mentioning a
wrapper script, and commenting that konqueror crashed like in kde4 [
e.g. slashdot if you need an example ] I put the following about the
clock, based on what we said during the summer (you rejected the
symlink for LFS).
| The desktop clock in plasma requires that /etc/localtime is a

|
|test -h /etc/localtime || mv -v /etc/localtime{,.orig}
| ln -sv /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB /etc/localtime
|
|obviously, change GB to whichever timezone you selected in LFS.
I've been doing that since July, and it worked for me. At the
moment, of course, my TZ matches UTC so I only need the fix during
British Summer Time.
Thanks. I generally don't look at the wiki pages, but what is there seems to be
good for the time when you wrote it. Now that Plasma is in the book, it needs an
update.
Indeed changing /etc/localtime fixes the problem, but it really seems weird that it
insists on a symlink.

[blfs-dev] Cinnamon for BLFS
Hello, I have built the Cinnamon desktop from source and would like to contribute it to BLFS. It is your decision whether you want to have it. I have installed Subversion and I can work with XML. Since I am a newbie someone should check my work and perform an additional test. Please comment on how to proceed.

This will be done later, when I feel the "host" is complete for my needs. The reason is that I panned to the same thing with LFS77, but got it not perfectly working, afyer updating to the new gcc minor. In my future dev system, I will come back to get kde related installed, so will be able to make updates in this part of the book. I'm not ignoring the need for helping you with those matters. -- []s, Fernando, aka SÃsifo -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
