Hi, After a few weeks of hard working, I am pleased to announce that I have worked out an update for jhalfs, which includes the possibility to add a package manager. Normally, it can use any package manager. I have made an implementation with dpkg. I do not know much about rpm, but if there is some request, I can try to adapt to it: it should not be hard. The hard part is to automate commands to have the package land into a DESTDIR instead of directly to the system, not to use the PM.
I am also working on the BLFS part, with some promising results, but it is not usable yet. The patch is 131k (26 k compressed). It has to be applied to a freshly checked-out jhalfs. I attach it. I hope the list daemon will not choke... A way to use the system is given in README.PACKGE_MANAGEMENT. I am not experienced enough with doc writing to know if it is usable. Please let me know. Yours Pierre Labastie
