I'm not maintainer or developper, but I translate into French. Thats right I've
been updating from lfs 6.3 to current svn for 2,5 years. Nearly finished, but
very very long. So I imagine for maintainers.

Yes right. Anyway I think it's a great book, very useful too.

Would not be possible to have a server, even a VM, with LFS often updated and
where we could test blfs? Personally I don't use lfs everyday, but I could
contri2kte if I had a "box" online, where I could build the packages.
> Discussion? Or is the thought of a maintainable BLFS unachievable?
I'm sure it is maintainable. But we should communicate more around the project.
For example, upstream could help us. The distros such as gentoo, nutyx, could
help too, all she more as nutyx uses lfs and blfs for the distro. I think we
don't comunicate enough around blfs.

Sure. You should write if you can test for you.
Last idea (I know it's a classical and old debate), but... why not doing a
wiki? What are the problems (we can know that from cblfs experience).
Regards, and I hope blfs will go on,
