Yeah, the plan is to take a look at the existing sources for the logic that pulls the commands out of the book xml so I don't have to re-invent the wheel. I am going to spend a few days analysing the existing sources before I create my prototype.

Tim We wrote the ALFS SDMS a long time ago in an effort to create a robust build system following a client/server model. Bruce is quite correct that there has been no real development on the base ideas that you have been reading about. I personally have not updated any of the doco in a very long time. Most folks use the JHALFS toolset (including me). It essentially pulls the commands right out of the LFS book and works fine. I have tweaked my local copy to work for my custom server build (I don't use LFS for desktop/laptop). BLFS is a different animal altogether. At this point I see you having a couple of options. You can see about enhancing support for all the required and optional pre-requisites in the BLFS book in JHALFS or begin to write the components of the ALFS project SDMS. I know for sure that ALFS must be able to pull the build commands right out of the books, no matter what. No one in their right mind will want to manually maintain files of commands from the books. That is one of the things that killed the nALFS project. The XML DTD for ALFS is still good, however if you want to use it. Good luck.
