LFS Books homogenization

Hi all,

This is my first post on the list.

Fist of all, thanks all you for your great job.

Second, sorry because English is not my main language.

Well, to explain it in short, looking a few inside the Book's XML files
I found that some Elements like userinput sometimes have the attribute
remap and some times not, in BLFS and GLFS. MLFS looks fine.

Dunno if this happens with more XML elements and attributes.
Need look deeper. Did you accept patches? commits?
Or maybe some can fix it opening a ticket.
I need to learn how you works. :) I am old but new here.

I think this attributes was helfull to extract the command lines for people
that want to automate the build of some packages. I am trying to build my
dirty system based on LFS but this is an other history.

There are any file that document the use of these attributes?
from my notes:
# mlfs book --> init
# mlfs chapter -->
# mlfs sect1 id="ch-tools-{pkg}" --> chroot package name
# mlfs sect1 id="ch-system-{pkg}" --> package name
# mlfs sect2 role="package" --> package description, build time and disk space.
# mlfs sect2 role="nodump" --> commands related to config files, tests ... no needed to run
# mlfs sect2 role="installation" --> patch, configure, make, install and post
# mlfs sect2 role="configuration" --> package configuration files like vimrc
# mlfs sect2 role="content" --> the last lines explain what in package.
# mlfs sect2 arch="ml_32,ml_all" -->
# mlfs sect2 arch="ml_x32,ml_all" -->
# mlfs screen revision="sysv" -->
# mlfs screen revision="systemd" -->
# mlfs userinput remap="pre" --> patch, and post. like make distclean.
# mlfs userinput remap="configure" --> configure the package
# mlfs userinput remap="make" --> make the package
# mlfs userinput remap="test" --> tests, exclude

Some examples for userinput with and without remap="pre":
[root@dirty mlfs]# grep -rwn . -e ".*patch -Np1"
seems all matches have remap="pre" excluding ./chapter03/packages.xml:508:
that not apply because is a note.
[root@dirty mlfs]# grep -rwn ../glfs/ -e ".*patch -Np1"
edited output:
../glfs/archive/glibc.xml:77:<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i
../glfs/shareddeps/security/glib2.xml:115:<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch
[root@dirty mlfs]# grep -rwn ../blfs-git/ -e ".*patch -Np1"
edited output:
../blfs-git/x/installing/mesa.xml:342:<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i
../blfs-git/x/installing/xorg-server.xml:233:<screen><userinput
remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../xorg

In the spirit of helping, I hope my comment will help improve the books.

Thanks.

Viel Losero.
