It has runtime dependencies one is RPM. To run YUM, RPM must be installed and in fact you need to build LFS with RPM right from the start. If you want to pursue this, you are welcome to try the LFS RPM build system, wich can be downloaded from https://github.com/nielsterp Once you have finished this build script you have a LFS with RPM, ready to install yum. A few things to consider, though: YUM requires several other packages, that you might have to install. YUM is nothing without one or more repositories. If you end up being dependent on one big distributions YUM repository why not then use that distribution instead of LFS ? If you install and use YUM, then you have stepped away from the idea of a collection of compiled-from-source-on-this-machine programs that is central to LFS. You also totally loose the educational aspect. So then, again, why not just use one of the big distributions ? Like you, YUM was on top of my wishlist when I started to play around with RPM. But when I realized what it really is, I lost my interest and just kept the RPM system. And I have found it to be an extremely efficient and useful tool for package management. You and everybody else - should give it a try. P.S. I am updating right now, and I expect to upload a version based on the new LFS 7.5 Regards Niels
