| 14 | | The official implementation of ALFS is called jhalfs. Originally created by Jeremy Huntwork, but since developed and maintained by Manuel Canales Esparcia, George Boudreau, and Thomas Pegg, jhalfs has become a light-weight, practical method of automating an LFS build. jhalfs is a Bash shell script that makes use of Subversion and xsltproc to first download the XML sources of the Linux From Scratch book and then extract any necessary commands, placing them into executable shell scripts. If you do not already have the necessary source packages in place on your system jhalfs can fetch them. Finally, jhalfs generates a Makefile which will control the execution of the shell scripts, allowing for recovery if the build should encounter an error. A way to use package management has been added by Pierre Labastie. |
