One thing i noticed a while back, when trying to meld some packages
from the BLFS book sources into an "LFS book" that contained the
procedure for deploying Xen (a project that then went on the back
burner when I changed jobs) was that the two "books" seemed to
adopt a different way of laying things out and/or pulled in various
XML entities.
is that known to be the case, or did I "not quite get it" ?
Should the package sections from either book be capable of a
simple insertion into the "source tree" of the other ?
I'm not sure what you mean. LFS and BLFS are quite different.
LFS is designed to start at Chapter 1 and for the user to go through to
Chapter 9 in sequence.
BLFS requires the user to choose what applications are desired and
install those. However to do that, dependencies have to be installed so
there is a dependency section for most packages.
In LFS, the user downloads all source packages in Chapter 3. In BLFS,
the user downloads each packages as it is needed.
Other differences are present as BLFS has some sections that describe
configuration and the packages are grouped by function (which is
sometimes tricky as some fit in multiple categories).
