Hi, I'm discovering nalfs, as a "user" who wants to automatically install LFS.
Short version of my question: ------------------------------------ Why doesn't it download the missing packages automatically? How to configure it to do so? Long version: ---------------- I've followed the instructions in the LFS-SVN README file. When I launch runit and start, I've got this kind of error msg and it stops. [...successfully copying pkgs that are already in my local folder...] I: Executing in /mnt/dataext3/LFS-SVNpackages: I: cp bash-3.0-fixes-3.patch /mnt/lfs/tools/packages-SVN-7130 -: cp: cannot stat `bash-3.0-fixes-3.patch': No such file or directory E: Copying failed. E: Execution failed (1). I've read somewhere in the config/ files that if we were doing a mistake in the local folder of packages, nalfs would download/overwrite all the packaged from internet. And, as I've experienced that it's quite boring to download by hand each of the packages in packages.ent, I hope that nalfs is smarter than that and can do a lot of things automatically, and automatically downloading the packages it the kind of things I'm expecting from nalfs! So, is it normal that it doesn't get the packages automatically? What to do to allow it to do so? Versions used: ------------------ * I'm running it on a Mandrake 10.0 community. * I've downloaded and compiled the stable version of nalfs : 1.2.5 (by the way, I had to modify the files to replace "-lm/libxml2.la" into "-lm /usr/lib/libxml2.la" else it was failing at the libtool step. After this change, it compiled OK. But maybe my problem comes from here?). * I've downloaded and configured the latest version (7130) of lfs-svn profile for alfs.
