Before adding another comment, i'd like to pay tribute to Jeremy for having the courage to ask such somehow blasphemous questions. This is what has generated a quite intensive discussion where many people came up with good ideas and input. Many of them perhaps would never come up. I personally, i like to see that those discussion can happen and can lead to meaningfull results without any flame war. Thats really good and that is what makes me believe that the health in the project isn't soooo bad. I just want to jump on the train driving to package management. One the one side i think it would be very useful but in the next moment i ask me, useful for whom? For me? I dont think that it is much of help if i have to create my packages by my own. If i need to do that, i faster have installed the software without building the package first. So if there is some kind of package management, I'll expect that there is a location, where i can pull packages for me to install. With dependency tracking? This would lead the LFS project to where we allways said we never want to be: A distribution. What is the educational factor of having a PM? On the other side, why not trying this one? But personally, i think that there are too much other distros that the world isnt really in the need for another one. For the LiveCD I would like to see it in the spirit of LFS. Not that a LiveCD only contains LFS stuff - it would be much too few, much BLFS is needed too to become a useful CD. No, in the spirit of telling how it works, not showing that it has somehow worked. I mean, what if there is a description which shows up [one|the] way of how to create a CD. There maybe package managing techniques ala DESTDIR=xxx useful. Using this guide on top of the knowledge gained from the LFS book plus BLFS, the experienced reader should learn as much as needed for building his/her own CD. The one makes a minimalistic one, the other a Knoppix-like monster and i would setup one for a PPC without a VGA. So, give the people the knowledge on how to create a CD, not the CD. Of course, it would be nice if there would be one as something like the "proof of concept". The above is all nonsense, isn't it? -- Thomas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
