Then the LSB is obsolete. =3Dp Seriously, though, this is probably because bzip has it's own custom licens= e=20 which some GNU/Linux distributions might not want to require. As it is, a=20 normal desktop Gentoo system requires accepting around 14 or 15 licenses.

Or, more like what Mandrake does and perhaps better, have a 'lsb' package=20 which simply DEPENDs on all LSB-required applications. This would be better= =20 than another profile, IMO. =2D --=20 Luke-Jr Developer, Gentoo Linux http://www.gentoo.org/ =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/SX1qZl/BHdU+lYMRAtwOAJ4rYGXw6fRkxG+KMkwQ2IqPgCbg2wCeIcl2 tHlw7uvfF5isCZoV9awX/pY=3D =3D7prV =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
