[31d6944]5MASTER SCRIPT
[36c87d2]6-------------
7
8 - The BLFS moudule should can be called in conjunction with any of
9 LFS, CLFS or HLFS modules.
[308e05c]10 Before working on that we need to fix the BLFS support.
[36c87d2]11
[308e05c]12 - To create a script to install jhalfs system-wide. Work in progess.
[36c87d2]13
[0ff9336]14 - To add support for build optimizations
[36c87d2]15
16
[308e05c]17LFS MODULE (all this is applicable also to CLFS and HLFS modules)
[36c87d2]18----------
19
20 - To add a switch to build the BLFS module dependencies at the end of
21 the LFS build, that is, wget and sudo. SVN and libxslt aren't needed
22 at this stage due that the BLFS book could be downloaded and parser
23 at the same time that the LFS book. Plus links or lynx to read the
24 (to be) generated BLFS HTML pages and, maybe, gpm.

29-----------

31 - The SourceForge download links don't work.
32
[308e05c]33 - The current code to use a FTP mirror as fallback is broken
34 for several packages due FTP migration to upstream formats.
35
[36c87d2]36 - To fix files creation using sudo. Comment from Ag Hatzim:
37
38 Commands, that using cat with sudo, to redirect the output to
39 certain files that users have no write access, will fail.
40
41 Eg. fcron.
42
43 #-------------------------------#
44 (~/jhablfs)sudo cat >> /etc/syslog.conf << "EOF"
45 # Begin fcron addition to /etc/syslog.conf
46
47 cron.* -/var/log/cron.log
48
49 # End fcron addition
50 EOF
51 zsh: permission denied: /etc/syslog.conf
52 #-------------------------------#
53
54 Since the shell is doing the redirection (man bash -REDIRECTION),
55 *before* the command is executed, sudo can not see the redirection,
56 so a new shell is needed for sudo to execute the actual command.
57
58 Like so, the previous command should be something like this.
59
60 #-------------------------------#
61 (~/jhablfs)sudo sh -c "cat >> /etc/syslog.conf << "EOF"
62 # Begin fcron addition to /etc/syslog.conf
63
64 cron.* -/var/log/cron.log
65
66 # End fcron addition
67 EOF"
68 #-------------------------------#

70 - Figure out how to handle Perl modules installation and other pages
71 that have commands to install more that one package (e.g., Gnat in GCC
72 Java-bin in Java, sane-backends and sane-frotnends in Sane, etc)
73
[1327ccc]74 - Figure out how to handle alternative dependencies. I.e.,
75 XFRee86 versus Xorg.

[2bfc61a]81 - Add a Cunstomization file discussing how to hack the generated scripts
[b792da1]82 and Makefiles, using the Cracklib support for Shadow in LFS as an example.
[a0ed344]83 NOTE: that could require an special command line switch to regenerate the
84 Makefile if additional scripts are manually added to the *-commands/*/ dirs.
