yes, you understood correctly, the scripts need to be maintained and updated by hand, but I'll try to fix this (to update the original T2-<version> it's possible to add a cron job that download the sources from svn). Actually I began to modify the scripts to take care of LFS (I'll try to add additional configuration options too), but I don't know exactly when I'll put on fire the modified scripts (it takes a lot of work and until now I modified everything about system and configuration - but only for x86 for now to test - and autoconf, automake, bash, berkeley-db, binutils, bison, bzip2 and coreutils files from LFS-SVN-20061008 book. Since the first stages are cross-compiled I'll take a look to see how to patch packages only for that stages, and not in the final/native system (the way CLFS does with the posix compliance patches). I think that the result should be a mix of CLFS and LFS, not exactly the pure standalone books... Thanks, if I need something related I'll email directly to you, however I'll post from time to time on the list the work done. Not sure, but from what I read, if I understood correctly, it should be possible to create a DVD image too with these scripts.
