Hi Viel, I'm the one who created GLFS. I can at least explain why a lot
of the XML in the book isn't attributed up to snuff.
GLFS deviated from BLFS, quite heavily. With that came a lot of needed
changes, a lot of work, a lot of reorgizations and corrections. At some
point, I realized that the book would be incompatible with jhalfs.
Truthfully, I gave up making the XML as standard as it could be. I was
both lazy in the beginning and in the end of the first rough draft of
the book. I've gotten a lot better about that and have been trying to
make the XML better over a year.
Automation eventually became something I want to support but don't have
much time to work on, and unsure how GLFS can get there and what
support would look like. I could start trying to make the XML properly
attributed at the very least, although would take some time.
There have been some rough spots, where the dump-commands target
generated scripts with a set of commands that shouldn't get ran by
default, and I fixed up most of them now.
Another thing too is that while GLFS is listed on the main LFS website,
it isn't really part of the BLFS fold as it were. Eventually, getting
dedicated mailing lists would be good. But for now, if possible, GLFS
issues should go at https://github.com/glfs-book/glfs/issues. In this
case, it's mostly fine since it also affects BLFS, though BLFS I think
is on more solid ground.
I'll make an issue over there so I don't forget.
