I am presently looking at and working on the LFS boot scripts. They are in my opinion very rough state. I am going to clean them up and use the following format for all of the individual scripts that will be used on my systems as follows: Shebang line: #!/bin/bash Comment Title block: the purpose of the script Global variables: defined here Local variables: not defined in functions Source scripts: all outside scripts sourced here Functions: all functions defined here Mainline: main body Cleanup: any cleanup that needs to be done Exit: script terminates I will add comments to explain the goal/purpose of the script and also what each function does. I am going to rewrite some of the scripts so they will be self sufficient as possible. I will add ipv6 support using a service file much like ivp4-static. This should allow ipv6 to be used on both dual stacked systems and system that are ipv4 or ipv6 only. I am also going to build to test them before placing them onto my working servers. Is there any interest by LFS on doing this or am I just wasting my time posting here?
What you propose seems to be mostly documentation, but other changes may be appropriate. I suggest you do a couple and let us review them. Then, with constructive feedback, the rest of the LFS scripts.
I'll note though that you are the only one giving feedback and the scripts have only had minor changes since at least 2011.
