Well flounced. So if there's a vacuum, I note that I'm finally updating my old automated LFS 6.8 build to 7.4-rc1, and once I've got that I'd like to automate the corresponding BLFS release. (I automated 80 or so BLFS packages before, but that was for an employer and got left behind when the contract ended.) This is building Linux From Scratch on top of an arbitrary host environment, and I'm testing it using the aboriginal linux base system for several different targets qemu supports (building natively on each target under an emulated build environment). It's slow, but not _that_ slow on modern hardware and I've got distcc set up calling out to the cross compiler on the host to speed it up a little and take advantage of SMP. The potential advantage of this for BLFS is regression testing: you can plug in a new package and see what effect it has on all the others. What I don't currently have is a way to parse the docbook and generate automated builds from that. I'm currently doing it by hand. If the instructions are regular enough that a machine can be programmed to follow them, it would probably be a good idea to do that. Is there anything currently available along these lines before I go reinvent the wheel?
