Autofs - $(EXTDIR) and Dependencies

Reported by: Randy McMurchy Owned by: bdubbs@…

Description

Noted in the Autofs instructions is the command:

ln -sf ../init.d/autofs $(EXTDIR)/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/S52autofs

I cannot figure out what $(EXTDIR) is. If I'm just having a dumb attack, please disregard this part of the ticket.

=============================================================

OpenLDAP and Cyrus-SASL should be listed as dependencies for this package. It will look for them and build .so modules if they are found. It will also look for libXML2 for use with both of them but only to see if the version needs a workaround (which it doesn't). Therefore, I don't think libXML2 needs to be listed.

Replying to randy@linuxfromscratch.org:

Noted in the Autofs instructions is the command:

My guess is that this command is actually supposed to be "make install-autofs" from the BLFS-Bootscripts package dir. That ln command is part of the instructions for the autofs script in the bootscripts Makefile.

I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was just a copy from other instructions I was looking at. Fixed.

Note that I did not create a bootscript for this package as the one installed by default is fine.

I'll take a look at the dependencies to double check and update that in the next day or two.

Fixed ln command at revision 7376. Added dependencies at revision 7382.
