Quite a difference, eh? ..aye, totally the wrong way, it _would_ be useful, if it could be set up to build .deb packages and package repositories from source, any source, and independently from any other distro, automagically. ..it has to be set up to happen automagically, or it will stall, and die. > As of svchost -- it *will* come with dependencies, don't you worry. > What makes me wonder, this, so to speak, manual is dated as 20180610. > Yet it doesn't mention anything for sources.list or versions of any > .deb.

Close that book. ..I slightly disagree, the LFS approach is different from the Debian, Slackware, RH etc ways of doing thing and may yield insight we might miss doing our things the current Devuan way. ..if automated, it would also be handy when trying to keep an eye on e.g. systemd "progress" and its impact on system integrity etc, etc. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
