Qi recipes collection for Linux From Scratch.

What's this ?

This is my personal qi recipe for Linux From Scratch.

How do we use those recipes for building package(s) ?

It's quite simple, for starter, make sure you have these following tools :

• qi & graft, get qi here and graft here.
• wget2 (default) or wget, needed for downloading source code.
• patch, needed for applying patch.
• archive tools, needed to unpack archive.

If we already had those tools, it's time to build the package ! The steps it's quite simple :

1. Copy one recipe you want to use (e.g vim.recipe) !

   $ cp vim.recipe recipe
   

2. Adjust the recipe as you need !

   $ vim recipe
   

3. Build the package ! We can use this command :

   $ sudo qi build recipe
   

   The build process duration depends on the recipe. Just wait ! The package will be produced at /var/cache/qi/packages/amd64/ .

4. Once the package is ready, we can install it using this command :

   $ sudo qi install -p /var/cache/qi/packages/amd64/name_of_package.tlz
