I made my own LFS. Is it interesting enough to upload to github?


One command does the following with 0% failure for intel pc:

. automatically makes changeroots(3)
. recompiles base to insure chain is reversible
. crosses from 32 to 64 (supports some cross compiling)
. builds all apps
. puts itself on USB ready to boot and start all over

QUESTION: is that something people would like or find on github? Or is that just "meh anyone has that these days"?

Anyone think LFS would like me to participate, or no, they are way beyond that?

creature features
. runs firefox-99 video+sound, newest Mathematica-13 (using them both now)
. NVidia + GL driver works
. intel audio works 0 configure
. distro scripts: meh, older but gets X and internet up IPV4 (but are separate and easily separated)
. f99 build is last "non-meson" build
. meson-build USB (newer version build) just finished but yet untested
. 0% failure compiling about 250 pkgs
. USB boots lk-5 but the gpt partition is mountable as normal ext2 (boot disk is also a usable root disk)

I'm not advertising I really am asking since I won't github my stuff if everyone is like "nah already have that". THANK YOU.

(nitty details: 1) is all human readable sh script - very hackable if it did fail 2) it does not compile ff99 that's a rustc "downloads during compile i don't allow that": last firefox that had really open source was 44.0 compiles 3) a pre-ff99 compiled qt-5.1.0 i think the 2 newer will do qt-5.10+ (untested). pre-ff99 didn't do qtwebkit-5.1, but big apps include their own QT so i see not much point in it for @home use. 4) it has allot of apps several older linux favs. it is more the @HOME single person maintainable build / distro with no-build-fails as #1 goal)

I don't have strong feelings one way or the other, but I lean this way: Since the point of LFS is to learn by doing, I am inclined to think your upload may get some, but not a lot of interest.

Just my two cents.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tot...t-linux-distro

A fuller homesite (on github googledrive Amazon ?) is TBA.

Uploading still in progress but all needed is uploaded. Optional boot-rc in progerss, latest usb (can be built by using it anyhow) and past usb will be on TBA website.

My philosophy on gitlab (github byebye when MS took it).

I store my scripts there. My docker configs. Simple files that I change or need all the time that aren't anything secret. It's basically a free cloud service with versioning as far as I'm concerned. I don't think anyone will realistically stumble on them nor do I care if they do. When I share a script with someone I send them a link to the gitlab location of it, then they always have my most recent work if i make tweaks / fixes, docker stuff in particular.

Don't need a reason to use it as far as I'm concerned. And it's reasonably safe there so you don't worry too much about losing it for whatever reason. Vital when you are a klutz. I've lost many scripts and various things over the years because I only recently learned proper backup procedures... and to use Gitlab.

Pretty much unless you can come up with a possible negative then toss it up there. It may snowball into something huge.
