4421	Issues with dependencies on individual Xorg parts	Chris Staub	Igor Živković	"There are several packages in BLFS that have dependencies listed for various components of Xorg, such as ""Xorg Applications"" or ""Mesa."" The problem is, these individual pages for X make the assumption that anyone using them must be installing all of X as a whole. For example, each subpage for X says to use ""$XORG_CONFIG"", but never explain where it comes from or what it should be, and if you're just following dependency links in the book, you'd never know about it.

If different individual components of X are to be used as dependencies, then they should each be able to be used independently. Alternately (and this would be my preferred solution), any dependency on some part of X can just be changed to ""Xorg"" as a whole."	defect	closed	normal		BOOK	SVN	medium	fixed
