It is clear that supporting multiple arches is becoming more and more useful. CLFS is a sub project of LFS and already has working and tested implementations for so many arches, with 32bit, 64bit and multilib. These are not all useful at this time in the main LFS book. While research is always fine, why would one do research that has already been done for possibly even years now by CLFS devs and not even drop them a message saying "how can X arch or X bit system be best implemented in LFS?" I know Jeremy is a great guy and does good research, but in my opinion not contacting CLFS devs _is_ re-inventing the wheel. Is it so hard to email one of us to ask for opinions or ideas?
I do not know every detail of lfs or clfs myself, but as one who more closely associates with the clfs team than lfs, if asked I would give all my limited knowledge to anyone asking. I think the other devs are the same, available almost always on mailing lists and irc. -- Justin R. Knierim lfs at lfs dash matrix dot net P.S. The years sure do fly by. I don't even know anymore how many years I have been building lfs systems. It is even hard to believe it is 3 years since I took over ftp maintainer. I just want what is best for all the projects... -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
