ppp and libcap dependency

2005-08-02 Thread Jeremy Huntwork
Hi, Am I recalling correctly that required dependencies listed in the BLFS book are build dependencies and not runtime? If that's the case, does the ppp page in SVN need to list libcap as a required dependency? On the LiveCD we build ppp just fine without libcap (and for all I know it works

New Subversion Released

2005-06-19 Thread Jeremy Huntwork
Hi all, Just noticed today that the BLFS development book is outdated with respects to Subversion. Firstly, the url for 1.1.4 doesn't seem to be valid any longer. Secondly, it seems they've released version 1.2.0. (We're a little behind, looks like it was released on May 23rd) Going to try
