Just a quick (but functional) mock-up using update-ca-certificates as
an example. Can clean it up if this would be good for the book. Would
need to move to chapter 7, after networking configuration (won't work
without /etc/resolv.conf).
This is an interesting idea, but I think for LFS it would be better to
host the files on anduin for download. The update is really not very
critical. After all we have been working with the current version
since 2008 without issue.
(Looking at the current XML files, protocols was last updated
2017-10-13 but services was updated 2019-07-02 (yesterday). )
Right now we create a tarball with all packages that is available for
download. After that, for LFS, an internet connection is not needed.
I'd like to keep it that way.
We could but the script on anduin to keep the files updated like we do
with firmware. We could also put the update script into BLFS similar
to make-ca.
Another thought for BLFS is to just download the xml files with wget
and use xsltproc and a custom .xsl file to parse the xml.

haven't heard from him in several years.
Are you going to update the book?
