It is in jhalfs trunk in BLFS/xsl (file dependencies.xsl). It is not usable
alone, though. You need a file "packages.xml" as source, and a file
$TRACKING_DIR/instpkg.xml for recording installed packages. there is a small
dtd (packdesc.dtd) for those 2 files. Excerpt of packages.xml:
<list id="postlfs">
<name>Post LFS Configuration and Extra Software</name>
<sublist id="postlfs-config">
<name>After LFS Configuration Issues</name>
<package>
<name>lsb-release</name>
<version>1.4</version>
</package>
</sublist>
<sublist id="postlfs-security">
<name>Security</name>
<package>
<name>consolekit</name>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<dependency status="required" name="dbus-glib" type="ref"/>
<dependency status="required" name="xtrans" type="ref"/>
<!--other X libraries -->
<dependency status="recommended" name="linux-pam" type="ref"/>
<dependency status="recommended" name="polkit" type="ref"/>
<dependency status="optional" name="xmlto" type="ref"/>
</package>
Packages.xml is generated from the book using BLFS/xsl/gen_pkg_list.xsl
The whole system can be installed as explained in the fifth message of this
thread.
