Re: ANNOUNCEMENT! New GoboLinux-release available!

Hi, Viola,

Congratulations for having put efforts to update your own copy of Gobo.
It's been a while since we have worked on a release, although we do from
time to time update scripts and constantly keep publishing recipes.

Have you investigated if there's any script out there which takes the
Linux-From-Scratch instructions and builds a new distro in an automated
fashion? That would be the ideal way to get new releases rolling.

Best regards,
Lucas
