Hi,
It is possible to build RPM for lfs but it requires some effort, and
then once built you basically have to rebuild every package in LFS
with RPM or else RPM dependencies are never met.
Building LFS with rpm requires little to no effort. All one needs is
the following packages
zlib, nspr, nss, popt, readline, elfutils and rpm. You DO NOT have to
rebuild a single package.
You are talking non-sense.
perl and python are particularly difficult to get right, I was only
successful when I modified how perl was installed to make it multilib
compatible.
Not required, Perl builds just like the book with no changes.
I got bored and didn't continue, it's possible but using RPM with LFS
actually increases your system maintenance, it does not decrease it.
To decrease it, you would have to have a respository of packages many
different people contributed to, all following some standard
guidelines, and LFS does not have that.
Really? More non-sense!
I have used LFS with RPM for the past three years.
I have a build system that I make available on github:
https://github.com/baho-utot/LFS-RPM
It follows the LFS book almost extactly. The only requirement is you
create spec files for chapter-{6,7,8} build instructions. The only
place it deviates from LFS book is moving a lot of the configuration
files for the various package and creating "filesystem.spec file" for
the directory installation otherwise it is almost identical to the book
build.
It is clear from your post don't know what you are talking about.
