Hey All,
Just thought I'd share something with you all in case any of
you find it
useful. I've set up a script on my server, to be run via a
cron job,
that will automatically build chapter 5 of the LFS book if
it finds that
there have been any changes to that section since the last
time the
script was run.
Personally, I find it a bit cumbersome and annoying these
days to have
to trudge through (or wait approx six hours for) a base LFS
build. So by
having my server build a set of tools automatically, I'll
always have an
up-to-date, by-the-book set of temporary tools available to
start from,
and I can cut down my build time by a good deal.
My server is an AMD Athlon, and since the commands are
extracted
similarly to jhalfs (I use an updated version of my alfs-POC
parser) no
optimizations are used. Therefore, the tools should work for
any i686
machine.
The tools will be available here if anyone wants to make use
of them:

net/lfs-tools/
If anyone's interested, I can go into the details of how
exactly they're
made. As I said, it's similar to jhalfs, but not as bulky.
