When I was working on the LSB-v3 scripts, I had started on a bash version of install_initd and remove_initd, using a functions file that could have been sourced by other scripts should the need arise. I lost scope about 3 arrays deep, while trying to keep the disk reads and writes at program start and exit only. I decided that bash really wasn't suitable and gave up on it.
The current popular flavor of the LSB scripts are written in python, so it's a no go for the base LFS. I had considered adding a contrib directory to BLFS at a later date with the BLFS scripts that I had modified for LSB-v3 and including the already written python scripts (modified for the X-LFS headers), but have yet to discuss that on list. I'm not completely certain, but I don't believe that there is any interest in replacing the current scripts with an LSB style implementation at this time. Also noteworthy, the contrib scripts have not had any dash/ash testing and might be a step backwards in that regard. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
