[blfs-dev] LSB-Tools: symlink creation no longer needed
Hi folks, I know that we're in a semi-package freeze right now, so I wanted to ask a question about a package that's already been tagged. root [ /sources/LSB-Tools-0.6 ]# ln -sv /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /usr/sbin ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/sbin/install_initd': File exists This is after running "python3 setup.py install --optimize=1" I don't think that the ln commands to create the symlink are needed anymore: ln -sv /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /usr/sbin && ln -sv /usr/lib/lsb/remove_initd /usr/sbin Are there any objections to me removing them? - Doug -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Should we remove notification-daemon completely? The differences though are the dependencies. notification-daemon seems simpler. I'm not a XFCE user. We'd like to hear some opinion from XFCE users about which notify daemon they prefer. I do not have a problem moving n-d to Chapter 12, System Utilities. I do use xfce by default. For me it is easier to just build xfce4-notifyd as I work through the xfce chapters. -- Bruce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

It's not used by network-manager-applet? As far as I know, it is used by nm-applet. At one time, I remember gparted being able to use polkit-gnome as well. I think moving it to a more generic place (maybe Chapter 12, System Utilities) would be a smarter option, probably after the release. And, notification-daemon is not used by GNOME.

I don't have a problem with this either, but I will note that the dependencies for xfce4-notifyd are a lot more complex (it looks like it needs xfce4-panel and libxfce4ui, which with xfce4-panel is a large chunk of XFCE that you'd have to build in order to use it. I think moving notification-daemon to Chapter 12 would be start, but I'd vote for a change like that after release. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
