Subject: [lfs-support] Requesting to include about Package-management
in lfs book
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
I think its better to include about package-management in lfs book.At
least about popular one like deb or rpm . It will help reader to get a
proper idea about package-management in linux and how they function to
make linux system management easy for the users.Lack of documentation
about how to combine the lfs knowledge with package-managment make it
frustrating.Please be kind enough to consider about above matter and
share your knowledge with us.

Have you read Section 6.3? What wording would you suggest? Note that
rpm and apt-get are not easily supported in source based installations.

I build rpm into the base system.Tools is straight forward, chapter 6
needs some tickling but it can be did.

I would be very interested to see detailed steps for adding a package
manager like rpm or apt to an existing LFS system. I also volunteer to
help test and provide feedback for that. This would be fascinating because
it would give insight into how someone could create their own Linux distro.
I'm particularly interested in creating a tiny Linux that can be downloaded
and installed by others, then expanded easily to suit their needs. It would
be fun to see how small that download could be made, yet still contain
enough that people could easily download and install binary packages of
their choice.

You might find this distro below similar to what you describe. You can even build it inside the website that hosts the build scripts. Iâve been toying with merging LFS and MLL...
Minimal Linux Live is a tiny educational Linux distribution, which is designed to be built from scratch by using a collection of automated shell scripts. Minimal Linux Live offers a core environment with just the Linux kernel, GNU C library and BusyBox userland utilities. Additional software can be included in the ISO image at build time by using a well-documented configuration file. Minimal Linux Live can be downloaded as a pre-built image, built from scratch or run in a web browser by using a JavaScript PC emulator.â
