 Recently, work has been done on a new implementation of ALFS, called jhalfs. Originally created by Jeremy Huntwork, but since co-authored with Manuel Canales Esparcia, 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. Since jhalfs extracts its commands to run directly from the LFS book, there are no profiles to edit or maintain.
 
-Note: The 0.2 version of jhalfs will only build LFS 6.1.1. The default for jhalfs 0.2 is to build LFS development therefore you must pass the "-L 6.1.1" parameter to the jhalfs program. To build LFS development version, use the trunk version of jhalfs. This is available via svn with the command: "svn export svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/ALFS/jhalfs/trunk jhalfs".

 There are many in-depth features that have been requested for future ALFS implementations. Because of this, development has been slated for an entirely new build tool which will be called alfs. To see a list of features that will appear in alfs, please read our Software Requirements Specification. If you wish to help develop this new tool, please subscribe to the alfs-discuss mailing list and leave a note there explaining your desire to help.
