Are you a complete moron? Don't you have a clue about LFS? If you want the Gentoo package manager, why don't you just use Gentoo? The purpose of LFS is to be used as a staging ground for LEARNING (customizing?) LINUX not INSTALLING LINUX. This isn't a distro so much as a LEARNING CLASS. Why do you want to turn LFS into something else? If you want a package manager there are plenty of distros to use, from Debian to Gentoo. To whomever controls patch submissions, please don't let a package manager become part of the distro, or become DEPENDENT on the package manager. If i wanted to learn how to bootstrap a distro WITH A PACKAGEMANAGER i would use Gentoo. There would be no point to using LFS. The great thing about LFS is noobs get to learn LINUX, not HOW TO USE A FUCKING PACKAGE MANAGER. Man! I use LFS to LEARN about linux, not hide behind a goddamned package manager. Please, whatever you do, keep LFS true to it's goals, do not let it become yet another distro. What makes LFS special is not being l33t or any crap like that, what makes it special is having to do everything manually to set it up so that us newbs get a chance to see the infrastructure of linux and how it works. God, this world is full of morons, everyone perpetually wants to turn something that works into something that doesn't. Chakkardeep, I am dissapointed that you would suggest something so gloriously stupid, especially since you would do nothing more than replicate what Gentoo is already doing? If you want a package manager and an LFS style distro use Gentoo, they have already done all the work, do not ruin what has been built here.
