My foray into building LFS on the raspberry pi platform has went
extremely well. I am thinking about taking the LFS book that is
currently available and modifying it for the ARM platform. The required
changes are not many. This may turn out to be a long range project, as
I am going to look into doing this after I get two rpi servers and a
couple of desktop systems built.
If I am successful in doing so could it be placed on the
linuxfromscratch.org website as a new project?
Are there any copyright issues with doing this?
There are no copyright issues, but there is a maintenance issue. The
book(s) are created from xml source code and stable editions are
published twice a year with new packages from upstream developers. The
development versions of the book (especially BLFS) are updated almost
daily and the new stable versions are created from that. The stable
versions then require comprehensive building and testing.
The above is a lot of work and requires a substantial long term
commitment of time and effort.
An alternative is to create a hint that takes a snapshot from a current
version of the book(s) and documents what changes are needed that
differentiate the rpi from an x86_64 build.
