Hi there, Not knowing anything about the development of LFS (and in the hopes of not having to) I would like to suggest two (faily big) package management systems to be mentioned on the FAQ:
- pacman from Arch Linux It does dependency tracking, supports (optionally remote) package repositories, file collisions, package conflicts, etc. It's also used by a couple of other distributions as well, such as Frugalware. - dpkg from Debian Well, somebody else will probably do a better job explaining it, but I think it should be mentioned. Unlike RPM, this one actually builds on distributions other than the one supplied by the vendor... (Recent versions of RPM fails to locate rpm.h.) It's also much lighter on dependencies. On a side note: Another headline for "Why isn't some package manager in the book?" would be appreciated. I failed to look there before going to lfs-support because I knew the answer to that question. "Is it possible to use a package manager with LFS?" or something in those lines really fits the answer better. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
