From my novice-perspective, this is a most enjoyable thread to read - my thanks to everybody who's contributing. It's inspiring a whole host of idea's (or pipedreams) that are still very incoherent, i'm afraid...
One prospect that i find especially appealing is a 'module' on 'how to become a developer' (for wont of a better title), which would teach people like me how source-code is analysed to divine dependencies, how build-sequences can then be put together, build-scripts formulated, & so on & so forth (told you i was a novice)... ...Educational *AND* with the potential to spread the workload of maintaining the book(s) & build-script repositories (if such things came into existence) by developing more developers. If & when i become any more coherent, i'll be sure to let you know... ;) taipan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
