In the make file, we already have a way to extract patches:
blfs-patch-list:
@echo "Generating blfs-patch-list..."
xsltproc --xinclude --nonet \
--output blfs-patch-list stylesheets/patcheslist.xsl index.xml
sed -e "s|^.*/||" blfs-patch-list > blfs-patches
sort blfs-patches > blfs-patch-list
rm blfs-patches
With a little work, we could probably do the same thing for packages.
I'm a bit too busy for that, but maybe you can talk Manuel into doing it.
