14 <para>As you follow the various sections in the book, you will observe that
15 the book occasionally includes patches that are required for a successful and
16 secure installation of the packages. The general policy of the book is to
17 include patches that fall in one of the following criteria:</para>
18
19 <itemizedlist>
20 <listitem>
21 <para>Fixes a compilation problem.</para>
22 </listitem>
23 <listitem>
24 <para>Fixes a security problem.</para>
25 </listitem>
26 <listitem>
27 <para>Fixes a broken functionality.</para>
28 </listitem>
29 </itemizedlist>

31 <para>In short, the book only includes patches that are either required or
32 recommended. There is a
33 <ulink url="https://www.&lfs-domainname;/patches">Patches subproject</ulink>
34 which hosts various patches (including the patches referenced in the books)
35 to enable you to configure your LFS the way you like it.</para>
