nALFS 1.2.4
nALFS is an interactive Automated Linux From Scratch profile parser. more>>
Automated Linux From Scratch or ALFS, is a project that aims to create a generic framework of an extendable system builder and package installer using XML to describe the process.
Its goal is to automate the process of creating an LFS system. It seeks to make the process of building LFS easier and more efficient while still providing flexibility, granting the user total control and insight into the compilation and management of his LFS build.
The LFS and BLFS projects have selected the nALFS implementation as the "official" ALFS implementation. See below for more info.
Its been in production use for over a year now and is under active development. Take a look at the news page for status of the current stable version.
The LFS and BLFS projects official implementation is Neven Hass nALFS. Mark Ellis also has a perl implementation. Next to the official ALFS implementation, there are a number of more or less tested automated LFS build systems available in the section menu.

Cross-LFS 1.0.0
Cross-LFS is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own customized Linux system. more>>
Cross-LFS stands for Cross Linux From Scratch (CLFS) and is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own customized Linux system entirely from source.
Why would I want a CLFS system?
Many wonder why they should go through the hassle of building a Linux system from scratch when they could just download an existing Linux distribution. However, there are several benefits of building CLFS. Consider the following:
CLFS teaches people how to build a cross compiler
Building CLFS teaches you how to make a cross-compiler and the necessary tools, to build a basic system on a different architecture. For example you would be able to build a Sparc toolchain on an x86 machine, and utilize that toolchain to build a Linux system from source code.
CLFS teaches people how to utilize a multilib system
CLFS takes advantage of the target systems capability, by utilizing a multilib capable build system.
CLFS teaches people how a Linux system works internally
Building CLFS teaches you about all that makes Linux tick, how things work together and depend on each other. And most importantly, how to customize it to your own tastes and needs.
Building CLFS produces a very compact Linux system
When you install a regular distribution, you often end up installing a lot of programs that you would probably never use. Theyre just sitting there taking up (precious) disk space.
CLFS can be built from most Unix Style Operating Systems
You can build CLFS even if you dont have Linux running. Our build instructions have been tested to build from Solaris and the BSDs.
CLFS is extremely flexible
Building CLFS could be compared to a finished house. CLFS will give you the skeleton of a house, but its up to you to install plumbing, electrical outlets, kitchen, bath, wallpaper, etc. You have the ability to turn it into whatever type of system you need it to be, customized completely for you.
CLFS offers you added security
You will compile the entire system from source, thus allowing you to audit everything, if you wish to do so, and apply all the security patches you want or need to apply. You dont have to wait for someone else to provide a new binary package that (hopefully) fixes a security hole. Often, you never truly know whether a security hole is fixed or not unless you do it yourself.
What can I do with my CLFS system?
A by-the-book CLFS system is fairly minimal, but is designed to provide a strong base on which you can add any packages you want. See the BLFS project for a selection of commonly used packages.

Beyond Linux From Scratch 6.2.0
Beyond Linux From Scratch or BLFS in short, is a project that continues where the LFS book finishes. more>>
Beyond Linux From Scratch or BLFS in short, is a project that continues where the LFS book finishes. It assists users in developing their systems according to their needs by providing a broad range of instructions for installing and configuring various packages on top of a base LFS system.
Why would I want a BLFS system?
If you are wondering why you would want a BLFS system or dont know what LFS is then you dont want to be here just yet - you should head over to the LFS Project Homepage where all will be explained.
What can I do with my BLFS system?
Nearly anything! An LFS system is primed to become a system that fits whatever need you have. BLFS is the book that takes you down your own custom path. You could build an office workstation, a multimedia desktop, a router, a server, or all of the above! And the best part is you only install what you need.
Enhancements:
- Version 6.2.0 of BLFS has been released. Version 6.2.0 is the complement to the LFS 6.2 book. More time has elapsed between the release of the previous version (6.1) and this one than in any other release cycle. Much of this is due to the fact that LFS 6.2 took much longer to be released than was originally anticipated. Many new packages have been introduced in the 6.2.0 version, as well as many updates, refinements and additions to the existing packages.

Automated Linux From Scratch 2.2
Automated Linux From Scratch creates the generic framework for an extendable system builder and package installer. more>>
Automated Linux From Scratch (ALFS) is a project that creates the generic framework for an extendable system builder and package installer.
Why would I want to use ALFS?
After having gone through the LFS and BLFS books more than 2 or 3 times, you will quickly appreciate the ability to automate the task of compiling the software you want for your systems.
What can I do with ALFS?
The goal of ALFS is to automate the process of creating an LFS system. It seeks to make the process of building LFS easier and more efficient while still providing flexibility by granting the user total control and insight into the compilation and management of his LFS build.
How is ALFS implemented?
nALFS
The first ALFS implementation was nALFS by Neven Has. nALFS is a small program written in C. It first parses an XML profile that contains information concerning the LFS build process into a series of internal commands. It can then execute these at your discretion, thus automating the compilation of LFS.
jhalfs
Currently, the official implementation is jhalfs. Originally created by Jeremy Huntwork, but since developed and maintained by Manuel Canales Esparcia and George Boudreau, jhalfs has become a light-weight, practical method of automating an LFS build. jhalfs is a Bash shell script that makes use of Subversion and xsltproc to first download the XML sources of the Linux From Scratch book and then extract any necessary commands, placing them into executable shell scripts. If you do not already have the necessary source packages in place on your system jhalfs can fetch them. Finally, jhalfs generates a Makefile which will control the execution of the shell scripts, allowing for recovery if the build should encounter an error. Since jhalfs extracts its commands to run directly from the LFS book, there are no profiles to edit or maintain.
Note: The 2.2 version of jhalfs has been released. A tarball can been downloaded from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/alfs/downloads/jhalfs/stable/.
alfs
There are many in-depth features that have been requested for future ALFS implementations. Because of this, development has been slated for an entirely new build tool which will be called alfs. To see a list of features that will appear in alfs, please read our Software Requirements Specification. If you wish to help develop this new tool, please subscribe to the alfs-discuss mailing list and leave a note there explaining your desire to help.

VaryOnApplet 1.4
VaryOnApplet is a pushbutton process-control applet for Gnome. more>>
VaryOnApplet is a pushbutton process-control applet for Gnome.
After VaryOnApplet is installed, you will need to logout and log back into Gnome, or you can force the panel to reload by killing it:
killall gnome-panel
As soon as the panel recovers, you can add the VaryOnApplet to it by right clicking on the panel and selecting Add: Utility: VaryOn Applet.
Initially, it will look like a red "X" Checkbox.
To make it do something, you will need to right click on it and set Preferences, as follows:
Applet Title is the text to show beside the checkbox on the panel.
Start and Stop are shell commands to bring up and take down the process that you want VaryOnApplet to control. When you left click on it, the applet plays the role of a toggle to vary the process on and off. Note: VaryOnApplet wont try to bring a process down if it doesnt believe the process is running.
For example, in my Beyond Linux from Scratch (BLFS) configuration:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
... starts the *dhcpcd* process, which opens my DSL line. Thus, my Applet Title is "DSL," and my Start Command is as above. My Stop Command is "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop."
In VaryOnApplets Preferences, Lock is the name of a file (any file) created by the process.
Now, I happen to know that, as soon as *dhcpcd* starts, it creates a file called /var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid on my machine, so thats what I put in Lock File.
Check is to confirm that the Lock File belongs to the Process.
If Check is False, then, whenever Lock File is present, VaryOnApplet changes from a red "X" to a green "V". Every three seconds, VaryOnApplet makes sure the Lock File is still there. No further checks are done, and this is fine so long as the process doesnt crash leaving the Lock File behind.
Process Name is (not) always obvious. You can find out what it should be. First *cat* out the contents of Lock File. If it is a process ID (pid) number, then you can print the name of the process that "owns" it like this:
ps --pid 999 --format ucmd --no-headers
... where 999 is the process ID.
In VaryOnApplets Preferences, set Process Name to the Lock File owner. In my case, this is "dhcpcd," but I already knew that. Now, if you want VaryOnApplet continually to be sure that the Lock File owner is alive, set Check Process.
Of course, VaryOnApplet is a general-purpose toggle. It doesnt insist that there be any particular content in the Lock File if you dont set Check Process. Thus, there doesnt have to be a running process that owns it. There doesnt have to be any special relationship between the presence of the Lock File and the Start and Stop Commands. There dont have to be any Start/Stop commands, for that matter.
There doesnt even have to be a Lock File. Then VaryOnApplet will just sit there looking like a red "X."
