Right. One solution to that which I am interested in pursuing a bit more is what I mentioned in alfs-discuss and what Greg Schafer has referred to recently in another thread: extracting the commands from the book's XML source. There have been others who have pursued this goal, ie, Boris Buegling and the former Hive project members. Now, though, we have something that fits a bit more seamlessly with the current LFS books. Manuel has created a XSL stylesheet that can extract all the commands and dump them into text files. This could be put into the Book's Makefile and the commands be extracted nightly. The difficulty becomes how to use those raw text files to intelligently and accurately script the build. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
