Hello, after I've been working with trip, a packagemanager for LFS, I've been busy working on a simple program - ihlfs - which is aimed to help you when installing files.
It creates a cache or buffer between your buildenvironment and the root filesystem. This makes it possible to view all changes a command like "make install" will do. If you're not happy, you can start all over again, and the root filesystem stays unchanged. For example, you want to know the installation you ahve is FHS compliant. With ihlfs you can view all files before they are installed. Or when you want to know which directories and files will be overwritten. At this moment it is only in testfase. It needs testing and real install is not yet functional. To install: unpack the source tar -xjf ihlfs-1.*.tar.bz2 cd ihlfs-1.0a? /install.sh After this enter: ihlfs (note this only works when the filesystem for the cache is mounted) you enter the install environment just test, delete, create and modify files. With the commando's: list flush clean you can: list or view the changes so far flush commit all changes form cache to the root filesystem clean undo all changes It is very possible to make a packagemanager with it.
