| #4878 | fixed | About LVM page missing | ||
| Description |
The "About LVM" page, while still existing in the xml source, is no longer used in the book. I noticed that it was removed from the chapter index here - http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/changeset/10071/trunk/BOOK/postlfs/filesystems/filesystems.xml - but as the commit log does not mention that page, I assume it was by accident. The reason I mention this is that there is a page in LFS - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter02/creatingpartition.html - which links to the BLFS LVM page, so if that removal was deliberate than LFS would need to be updated. |

| #10549 | fixed | About the pax utility | ||
| Description |
pax is a package archiver required by the LSB. Presently, we use an old version from the heirloom library. There is a more recent (and seemingly maintained) one at http://www.mirbsd.org/pax.htm. But looking at the documentation, tar can produce pax (posix 2001) compatible format. So maybe pax could be a shell script calling GNU tar with the appropriate options... Note: the pax format and its relationship with ustar and cpio formats. Also, look at bsdtar instead of GNU tar... This ticket is for reporting findings about those. |

| #2654 | invalid | Accessibility for blind users | ||
| Description |
On the livecd list, a user said that accessibility is important for him: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/livecd/2008-November/005290.html On the LiveCD, accessibility is provided by the following packages: brltty (reflects the Linux console on Braille devices, testable with a fake Braille device in QEMU), speakup (kernel patch that reads the console), speechd-up (feeds text from speakup to speech-dispatcher), speech-dispatcher (accepts speech requests and converts them to a form understandable by different synthesizers), and espeak (the lightweight multilingval software speech synthesizer). However, none of these packages are currently in BLFS, and it became a policy for the new LiveCD to reject packages beyond BLFS. So, in order to have accessibility on the LiveCD, it first has to be added to BLFS. And by "added", I mean that at least one other editor receives the knowledge sufficient to maintain this stuff, and that someone indeed wants to maintain it. |
