18 <para>As you follow the various sections in the book, you will observe that
19 the book occasionally includes patches that are required for a successful and
20 secure installation of the packages. The general policy of the book is to
21 include patches that fall in one of the following criteria:</para>
22
23 <itemizedlist>
24 <listitem>
25 <para>Fixes a compilation problem.</para>
26 </listitem>
27 <listitem>
28 <para>Fixes a security problem.</para>
29 </listitem>
30 <listitem>
31 <para>Fixes a broken functionality.</para>
32 </listitem>
33 </itemizedlist>
34
35 <para>In short, the book only includes patches that are either required or
36 recommended. There is a
37 <ulink url="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches">Patches subproject</ulink>
38 which hosts various patches (including the patches referenced in the books)
39 to enable you to configure your LFS the way you like it.</para>
