Hello Tom, ET here...
I have done some 9846154 incarnations of LFS and I wrote what I call a
"Replication System" that allows me to instantiate, maintain and replicate a
production LFS machine.
I'll be releasing what will be the first real working version to Sourceforge
when I (someday) get the time to finish it...
Your script could be improved by:
a.- Use $variables in stead of <placeholders> and pass parameters to it or:
b.- write a complementary sed script to do the replacements because (ask me
how I know) vim's %s WILL eventually shoot you in the foot.
If you have any question you will get any answer... :)

Hello,
My name is Tom, I am new to PLUG and am hoping to find time to start
attending meetings. Until then I hope to find some interesting
discussions here on this mailing list.
I've recently been playing around with creating a working LFS system and
have been having lots of fun at learning about all that goes in to putting
a working Linux system together. Now that I am almost done with the BLFS
book, I was wondering if I might get some critique on my first, what I
would consider, real shell script. I wrote it while going through the
process of downloading and compiling the various packages I wanted/needed
on my system. I basically downloads the needed archives, extracts them,
runs the commands provided, and then removes the extracted directory and
downloaded archive from the system. I added a some easily replaceable
placeholders that I can us the %s option in vim on. So far it has worked
fairly well for me. The code for it can be found at
http://pastebin.com/ESjVCmTF.
I am looking forward to hearing any advice regarding this and also
participating in this mailing list in the future.
