A minor update: I will have to postpone today's release. The reason for it
is that I have to think a series of social issues related to this project.
I felt that this announcement was premature since the beginning, but I did
feel that there would have been a correct rectification on behalf of people
from a certain project (LFS) of which the story and "evolution" is rather
extremely well known in this community as well.

I am certain that my motives are very well understood by the people in this
list and elsewhere as well. I thought that an automation and management
layer that would have worked for all the 3 projects (clfs, diy-linux, lfs)
could have been of interest elsewhere as well. I do not think that there is
anything more to say related to this and frankly LFS has left this
user/developer with a bitter taste as well.

I will take some time to make certain that things end up well for the good
guys, I will continue informing from now on on the mailing lists of my
project (http://lists.odreex.org).

I would very much like to hear from your community and all who are
interested and hopefully work for this common goal together.

Thank you for your comprehension.

George Makrydakis.
