Greetings,

I've noticed that some mistakes are made between versions.
Quite a few may be made between package versions. Just updating the package version in the book's xml and lack of testing the update can complicate some deals.

Now, this is for my own use, but I've found it helpful in that I need to edit my scripts based on book updates between architectures and verify the build works and the installed binaries work.

This doesn't get it all done in one bit swoop. There have to be audits after install to make sure the files installed changed between versions. jHALFS is fine and all, but when I need to update a script from the book, it is an extra eye to see if all is fine.

This isn't to change jHALFS or anything else, I've found that manually editing a bash script for a particular chapter of the book, I've found some problems and it needs fixed. Do with it as you see fit. Sharing with the community. My latest edits have it working with the Raspberry Pi 3b+.

It works fine with x86 (tested with an old Intel z530p atom) and amd64.

Like I say, not a replacement, just another way I've writtent to help verify the book between release.



Sincerely
