Announcing LFScript

Bruce Dubbs — 2010-11-19T01:36:17

Hello all,

LFScript, an automated-linux-from-scratch tool, has released version 4.0.1.

There are many new features that make this version a radical departure
from past versions.

Notable ones include:

- Being LFS-independent: LFScript 4.0.1 no longer hardcodes LFS into
its code, so with the right scripts you could build ANY OS with it as
well! This includes CLFS and HLFS.

- Updated Support for the rapidly changing BLFS-dev: Because there
have been few releases of BLFS, LFScript has modified itself to
support this flexible framework.

- The one and only ./lfscript: All of LFScript's features have been
merged into one single script.


You can see the release notes at lfscript.org.
To try it out, download the latest release at lfscript.org, or try our
LFS-Live-CD, fsOS 2 alpha!
Documentation is available at http://www.lfscript.org/docs, including
a man page guide.

LFScript is released under the GNU GPL v3. For more information, see
the included LICENSE file.

Thanks!
Robert Xu & Marcel van den Boer
