I have thought of auto-generating xml profiles, but I abandonned.We use to modified a bunch of packages and have designed a sort of guidelines to make our LFS (to integrate paco for examples), that we prefer to revisit each package. Then we don't have to do it so often that it's not a pain. We see update as a way to be closer to LFS changes.
In fact, I think that the auto-generated is the opposit of the mind of LFS. It seems that if we don't make effort to write ourself profiles, we can't be a LFS user. In that way, we just have to install a regular distribution instead. I know it's a pain the first time (the second too ;-) ) but with experience it's a must (I like to know each details of the system before its exploitation). And it's not so a pain to modify or create some scripts in the spirit of BLFS. The LFS slogan is "your distribution, your rules" , is'nt it ? then I do not like the idea of digging in a really hard bash code to make my rules. I am deeply deceived that the nALFS is no more developped (even my posts about some patches was not answered, maybe they were too crappy, but I would liked to know it) . There is a lot of things to do with that GREAT piece of software. (conditionnal execution, integration of paco, manage configuration files of packages ...) My two cents ;-) with, despite that, 'A good luck' to all projects about LFS. Really great works.
