I currently have two ( WIP ) overkill, but I have thrown them up on github https://github.com/Firerat/FR-Automated-LFS_BLFS/commits/master/ both are kinda Alpha, however the LFS is probably quite stable basically grab the svn book and make it, along with make dump-commands ensure lfsbook=~/lfs-book lfscommands=~/lfs-commands are setup correctly in the scripts ( good idea to look a timezone and paper size too ) simply run the script it will output $LFS/chapter05.sh $LFS/chapter06.sh, along with chroot scripts and chapter05-asroot.sh in ~/ now execute $LFS/chapter05.sh providing you have d/l all the files in the wget list to $LFS/sources , it will start building once that has finished, as root execute ~/chapter05-asroot.sh , which does all the chown, kernlfs and chroot once you have entered the chroot execute /chapter06.sh This is where the 'magic' happens, I wanted to use http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/more_control_and_pkg_man.txt so my script sets that up basically chapter06.sh is run as root ( in the chroot ) it writes the package's install script to /etc/pkgusr/scripts/<packagename>.sh it then adds the pkguser, su into it I tweaked the pkguser's bash_profile, it tests for the script /etc/pkgusr/scripts/<packagename>.sh and executes it on success it touches ~/.<packagename> ( the bash_profile skips the install script if that file exists ) the pkguser exits and the main script resumes if for what ever reason the package failed to install, the main script picks up on this and exits... ready for you to fix it ;D ( either mv the install script out of the way or touch the ~<packagename>/.<packagename> when you run the Main script again it will skip everything that has already been installed. The AutoBLFS is a little more complicated , but I feel the script is technically better LFS is pretty straight forward in that it is linear whereas blfs is full of dependencies and isn't , for the lack of a better phrase 'ordered' However I think I have managed to pull it off, the generated script will check and install any missing dependencies ( and dependencies of the dependencies ) prior to the target package, it should even manage to deal with PerlModules ( I think I fixed that ) In BLFS files are downloaded as required ( which may lead to issues with broken links ) NOTE, it is an early version, and has not had a great deal of testing atm it doesn't consider recommended packages, for that I will have to sit down and work through some kind of config for the packageX OR packageY and packageZ I also wanted to start grouping things with pkguser groups ( x , kde , networking , gnome etc. ) sorry I don't think I have explain all that too well, I hadn't planned on 'releasing' it just yet so I haven't documented it But ( if you can follow my messy wip bash scripting style ) , you may find some useful 'tricks' for your own scripts Oh, in the AutoLFS WriteScript () {} is where I do tweaks to make the 'scripting' work, I build 64bit, so atm gmp is 'hardcoded' to strip out the 32bit config, check the case gmp) and, as I said the AutoBLFS hasn't had a great deal of testing I'm sure it will fail in many areas , either typos in the book, general script unfriendly commands, things that just need tweaking for more_control_and_pkg_man, or that my script is just pooched hmm, just remembered the blfs-bootscripts also needs to be dealt with and it could do with some ' clean up ' routine for when space is tight. atm, it is a little hacky leaving .files all over the place as flags, I'll probably add a proper logfile to keep it tidy
