Manuel, I see you have been very active with the hlfs code.
Before you get too deep inside clfs we should discuss a few of the oddities clfs brings. 1. The clfs has its own 'extract_commands' function with a crude method for extracting patches and packages and generating the build scripts. If possible I would like to reintegrate this custom version back into the common_functions file.
2. The function 'build_makefile' will have to be reworked to handle both a 'chroot jail' build as well as a 'boot minimal' style. The method I used in the makefile is miserable and relies on a failure to exit the makefile script prematurely.. (bad.. very bad)
3. The package downloading functions pulls down all patches for a specific version. In LFS,BLFS,HLFS this is not an issue but with clfs it will pull patches for all the architectures.. i.e. x86 build ends up with space/mips..etc patches.. They do not affect the build but the do pollute the the SRC_ARCHIVE.. (more a pain in the buttocks than a problem)
