I'm trying my first installation of 6.2 and just became aware of jhalfs. I'm
impressed with what I've seen so far. Aside from a few MD5 sum's not matching
for m4, udev-config and lfs-bootscripts it's worked beautifully.
Seems that it's building the development book instead of the stable book
though. Is that right or did I do something to tell it too?
If you wander over to
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/alfs/wiki/SupportedBooks you will find
the commands for building development or release books (default is
development)
It occurs to me that with a simple internal database of what version of each package it has installed and an external database of more recent versions to compare against, jhalfs could become the long-searched-for package manager for lfs.
There is a PM available for jhalfs as a patch, PACO. There are no
plans to force a particular PM on users by embedding on in the code.
OK, now that I've gotten that out of my system you can begin slapping me around
for my cheek. :)
