My own bash script related question.


Dear Mentors!
I'm having pleasant experience with BLFS!
I will try new install from LFS to BLFS, and have a question!

If I want to implement my own function which does simple job as append installed package name into a single file and notes on them, and then later grep installed packages and notes if they are installed, and if not, echo "not installed yet".

I will make two function for above feature. such as 'addpck('add package'for add installed packages name into file)', and 'chkpck('check package' for check if package has been successfully installed before or not)'.

I'm wondering when I have to implement that bash script.
There's chroot several times on LFS process, so can I implement those features from start? or wait and start when Ch.6 has begun?
(chroot and installation of bash again in Ch.6 concerns me)

I think When BLFS has started, it has no problem to use that script. Just curious on LFS process. When is the right time for implementing those scripts?

When is the best time to do that?

I'm asking this because there's a lot of PATH changes, and even bash installation process.
Hope it doesn't matter, but if there's a good point to start using my own script, please tell me!

If you are planning on a roll your own package manager you probably want to start at the start of chapter six, that's what I do, see here:

If you want to update LFS packages, you can start from Ch.6.
If you never touch the basic LFS system, you can start from BLFS.

I usually use DESTDIR and graft. In my case, I started it from BLFS.
