Since University finished for the semester a couple of weeks ago, Ive been working on a Linux based root filesystem build system based on Linux from Scratch: https://github.com/stenstorp/osbuild
I’m just calling it “OSBuild” for now; version 0.0a codename “It’s Something!”.
Currently it can cross compile a Linux system for x86_64 and i686. It should be able cross compile for ARM/aarch64 and PowerPC(64), but it uses qemu so it’s really slow to compile and will probably need a few fixes to get it to work properly.
As you can see, it also has a very simple X environment (only twm).
I’m not planning on doing a package manager, probably just using a pre-existing package/ports system (NIX,GUIX or pkgsrc). If you can get this working, you probably know how to compile stuff
It’s just a bit of fun at the moment, not planning to take on Debian or Arch or something (…Yet).
Download this pre-compiled x86_64 rootfs if you want from:
