Standard use commands in the order you may need them.
- prefetch : preload all necessary files in cache before compilation
+ downloadsrc : preload all necessary files in cache before compilation
build : compile the distribution
clean : erase build and log to recompile everything from scratch
Optional
- gettoolchain : optionally load from sourceforge a precompilated toolchain
+ gettoolchain : optionally load from ipfire.org a precompilated toolchain
package. This solve some compilation issues on old or very
recent distributions and save 20% of next full building time.
If you want to use it, do it before build step
Maintainer / advanced commands
- changelog : Update doc/Changelog from CVS messages log
- check : Test if packages files are still available for download
- This is faster on http URL with --spider,but still slow on ftp

- rootfiles : Goal is to create update/x/ROOTFILES automatically in the
- futur. Build md5 of all included files in iso and list of
- changed or removed files (not yet fully usable at some
- packages include a compilation timestamp, so md5 change at
- every compilation)
toolchain : Create our own toolchain package to save 20% of build time.
shell : Enter a shell inside the chroot, used to tune lfs script
