(Sorry to resurrect a dead thread.) You might want to take a peek at T2's packaging system: <http://t2-project.org/> Among other things, they have the interesting ability to automatically generate dependency trees by tracking what headers each program references at build time. Also their tools are 90% written in Bash for easy hacking. :-) (Though I'm sure some would argue that's a bad thing.) Actually, the original poster to this thread might be happier with T2 than with LFS: T2 provides an installer, and lets you populate it with packages you build yourself. -- William Tracy Work: [email protected] Play: [email protected] Cell phone: (805) 704-0917 Internet phone: (707) 206-6441 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
