<title>blfs-support</title>
<para>The blfs-support list is for the BLFS Book and beyond.
It includes requests for help following the BLFS Book,
requests for help with packages not (yet) in
either the LFS Book or the BLFS Book,
and other requests and discussion concerning software
that might be installed on an LFS system.
It does not include topics such as
the price of beer, what hardware to buy,
or GNU versus BSD or Microsoft versus Linux flame wars.
These belong on lfs-chat,
and since blfs-support is high traffic,
please follow this rule strictly.

<sect2>
<title>Other list modes</title>
<para>The modes that can be set by a user require sending an email to
<ulink url="mailto:listar@linuxfromscratch.org">listar@linuxfromscratch.org</ulink>.
The modes themselves are set by writing
the appropriate commands in the subject header of the message.</para>
<para>As the name implies, the <emphasis>Set command</emphasis> tells what
to write to set a mode. The <emphasis>Unset command</emphasis> tells
what to write to unset a mode.</para>
<para>The word "listname" in the example subject headers below should be
replaced with the listname to which the mode is going to be applied.
If more than one mode is to be set (to
the same list or multiple lists) with one email, this can be done by
leaving the subject header blank and writing all the commands in the body of
the message instead.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Digests</title>
<literallayout>
Set command: <emphasis>set listname digest</emphasis>
Unset command: <emphasis>unset listname digest</emphasis>
</literallayout>
<para>All lists have the digest mode available which can be set after a user
has subscribed to a list. Being in digest mode will
cause you to stop receiving individual messages as they are posted to
the list and instead receive one email a day containing all
the messages posted to the list during that day.</para>
<para>There is a second digest mode called digest2. When a user is set to this
mode he will receive the daily digests but will also continue to
receive the individual messages to the lists as they are posted. To
set this mode, substitute <emphasis>digest</emphasis> for
<emphasis>digest2</emphasis> in the command.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Vacation</title>
<literallayout>
Set command: <emphasis>set listname vacation</emphasis>
Unset command: <emphasis>unset listname vacation</emphasis>
</literallayout>
<para>If a user is going to be away for a while or wishes to stop receiving
messages from the lists but doesn't want to unsubscribe, he can change
to vacation mode. This has the same effect as unsubscribing,
but without having to go through the unsubscribe process and
then later through the subscribe process again.</para>

<title>How to subscribe?</title>
<para>Any of the above-mentioned mailing lists can be subscribed to by sending
an email to <ulink url="mailto:listar@linuxfromscratch.org">listar@linuxfromscratch.org</ulink>
and writing <emphasis>subscribe listname</emphasis> as the subject

<para>Multiple lists at the same time can be subscribed to by using
one email. This is done by leaving the subject blank and putting all the
commands in the body of the email. The email will look like:</para>

Subject:
subscribe lfs-dev

<para>After the email is sent, the Listar program will reply with an

this confirmation email is sent back, Listar will send an
email again with the message that the user has been subscribed to the
list(s) along with an introduction message for that particular list.</para>
