I am contemplating setting up an effort to do this, beginning
sometime in the next academic semester. I asked a similar
question a few months ago in this list; there were a number
of positive responses. If you search the archives for "LFS"
you should find them.
Perhaps now is the time to begin discussion/planning of a
porting effort, so that work can begin in earnest in the
new year. I'm inclined to do more than a simple port.
The LFS code has a lot of entropy in it, as well as some
design/implementation decisions that make it difficult to
modify the code in the direction my research will go.
I'm in favor of a redesign/refactoring, with portability
and modifiability among the primary goals.
Is anyone out there willing to set up a mailing list for
a FreeBSD LFS effort?
