Hello.
I think that jhalfs is an extremely clever solution for
automatically building LFS.
Thank you for jhalfs.
***** paco news *****
I've just released paco-1.10.10. It fixes a segfault in
paco-1.10.9. You would probably have noticed that when
installing the package file-4.19 in LFS-6.2-pre2.
I am working on adding a rudimentary support for package
dependencies in paco. It would work more or less thusly:
paco -J foo:bar -lp boo "make install"
would mean that package boo requires foo and bar. This
information would be written in the "info" log of the package
boo. If option -j is used instead of -J, the dependencies are
marked as optional. Both options may be used simultaneously.
paco -G foo
would print the packages that foo require. Again, if option -g
is used it would print the packages that foo optionally require
(= use).
paco -Q foo
would print the packages that require foo...
paco -W -r foo
would Warn the user in case that the package that is to be
removed (foo) is required by any installed package...
and things like that...
Issues:
1. What about the versions? Should they be taken into account?
2. Should dependencies be retrieved remotely from the sources of
the BLFS book? (I have no idea of how to do that!)
Well, if you have any comment it is wellcome.
A preliminary implementation of this dependencies support is
available in svn:
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/paco/trunk paco
Cheers.
