PiLFS - Linux From Scratch on the Raspberry Pi

Dedicated to help you build your own complete GNU/Linux distribution for the Pi.

Everything is based on the original Linux From Scratch project with additional tweaks and build recipes for the Pi.
We track the stable version of LFS: r12.0
We compile everything natively on the Pi itself, no cross-compiling is done.
