new LFS question: is this worth putting on 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.

I imagine LFS would like your offer of help. They have many projects. I was building their (now defunct) Hardened LFS but the one remaining dev got stuck, and couldn't compile gcc (with patches). The project died.

Another place where devs are needed is in Arm support. X86_64 software often doesn't compile for arm64 or aarch64 without patches, sometimes numerous patches. The requirement is found this way. You try the compile, and it fails because the two cpus handle things differently internally. It's a specialised but valuable skill.

I certainly would introduce your idea to the LFS team – and maybe to Gentoo as well? – and post your work on github. Then, give us the new URL here.
