depents on how you define "easy".
i agree the log is complete. absolute. each and every change is logged.
but easy??
as i wrote, i checked the chapter "changelog" to see what changed (once
every few days or just once a month, depending on my other interests).
i really like the work you do (and i guess here is a good place to say
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR GREAT WORK!). but i don't have the time and/or
skills to decrypt all the messages running throu the *-book lists. i'm
really happy to have some systems for which i'm responsible out in the
wild where i really understand what happens (and why which package is
installed).
the "changelog" is exactly the tool which serves my needs. i'll follow
the wiki log for a while to see wether it will suit even better. but
maybe there is to much "noise" for my poor eyes. for me as a lower
skilled user i'm seeking for a possibility to follow your (where you
adresses all authors/contributors) path on an easier way. "easy" as my
personal interpretation means ;). thus i probably will follow the
lfs-book, but for blfs where i use just a few packages (non of the
systems has X installed as they are just file-, print- and webservers) i
guess there will be to much information i don't need.
my last compile was quite up to date, except inetutils in the old place
and i had no errors with the build.
now i hardly dare to ask my next question:
*WHY did you move inetutils?*
