In particular, we assume that you will build on the machine where the kernel will run, and also that you may need to rebuild the kernel several times (for additional .config choices) depending on what parts of BLFS you build. And we do not provide a package manager. So I submit that we are the people least likely to need this. ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven: but only on a clear day, with the wind in the right direction.
