As David correctly pointed out, I'm only suggesting that creating the basic filesystem (sections 6.2-6.6) be reordered, or rather reworked.
Creating packages at build time is the goal, however, the packages would be installed immediately. The 'lfs-base' package would be 2 files, plus 5 empty ones that would only be created by the install routine, not stored, plus the base directory structure would also be created. No need to add DESTDIR commands or anything of that like until the first package is installed in chapter 6. -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
