This book is dedicated to documenting the installation of some packages on an LFS system that do not appear in LFS, MLFS, BLFS, and GLFS.
This project also assumes you are using a SysVinit LFS system.
Such packages that are included are, but not limited to:
- Fuse-2.9.9 (needed for appimages)
- Flatpak
- Hyprland
- i3
- SVR4-style tools
- And much more!
Go to https://glfs-book.github.io/lfs-qol/ and start going through the book!
The book online is rolling release but there is a stable version in the LFS QOL source via the stable branch.
You can switch to it by running the following command:
git checkout stableThen render the book with make STAB=release [other options].
There are also Releases that you can download. All of them contain both the SysV and Systemd editions of the book, chunked HTML.
How do I convert these XML files to HTML myself? You need to have some software
installed that deal with these conversions. Please read the INSTALL.md file to
determine what programs you need to install and where to get instructions to
install that software.
After that, you can build the HTML with a simple make command.
You can change the revision, ie. systemd vs sysv by adding REV=<rev> to the
make command. <rev> can be:
sysv(default)systemd
Example: make REV=systemd.
The default target (sysv) builds the HTML in ~/public_html/lfs-qol,
whereas for systemd, it would be in ~/public_html/lfs-qol-systemd.
It will by default make each package and section its own page then link
everything together for a smooth experience.
The dark theme is also the default, but you can switch the theme by
running make LFS_QOL_THEME=<theme>. <theme> can equal:
- light
- dark
Makefile targets are: pdf, nochunks, validate, and lfs-qol-patch-list.
pdf: builds LFS-QOL as a PDF file.
nochunks: builds LFS-QOL in one huge file.
validate: does an extensive check for XML errors in the book.
lfs-qol-patch-list: generates a list of all LFS-QOL controlled patches in the book.
