| 1 | jhalfs TODO
|
|---|
| 2 | ---------------
|
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 | (Work for almost all this issues is in progress on the experimental branch)
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | CODE STYLE
|
|---|
| 7 | ----------
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | - To use the same coding style in all modules. The current used
|
|---|
| 10 | for HLFS module (colors, error-handling, etc) look a good starting
|
|---|
| 11 | point for me, with two notes (to be discussed):
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | - Bash code: to use two-spaces indentation (no tabs).
|
|---|
| 14 | - Makefile code: to use eight-characters tabs.
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | - To set the "Date" and "Id" svn:keywords properties on all files
|
|---|
| 17 | setting the "Id" key on the header of each file and using the
|
|---|
| 18 | "Date" key when needed (like in the -v output of jhalfs)
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | MASTER SCRIPT (work in progress on the experimental branch)
|
|---|
| 22 | -------------
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | - Make jhalfs a "master script" that will control and run each
|
|---|
| 25 | book's module. When doing that reestructuration we coulud to change
|
|---|
| 26 | the tool's name, if wanted.
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | - Common code for all modules should be placed in this master script.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | - Common configuration options should be placed in a master configuration
|
|---|
| 31 | file.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | - The LFS, CLFS and HLFS modules should be exclusives. I.e., when
|
|---|
| 34 | one is called the others must be ignored.
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | - The BLFS moudule should can be called in conjunction with any of
|
|---|
| 37 | LFS, CLFS or HLFS modules.
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | - Addapt the Makefile to install all modules system-wide.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | LFS MODULE (some of this is applicable also to CLFS and HLFS modules)
|
|---|
| 44 | ----------
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | - To move the LFS module to their own subdir.
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | - To fix the now missing locales installation needed by testsuites
|
|---|
| 49 | in Chapter05 Glibc.
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | - Chapter05 testsuites should be optionals. Run by default Chapter06
|
|---|
| 52 | testsuites only.
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | - Fix the unpack code to don't hang when both the bz2 and gz formats
|
|---|
| 55 | of the same package are founds in the sources dir.
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | - To add a switch to build the BLFS module dependencies at the end of
|
|---|
| 58 | the LFS build, that is, wget and sudo. SVN and libxslt aren't needed
|
|---|
| 59 | at this stage due that the BLFS book could be downloaded and parser
|
|---|
| 60 | at the same time that the LFS book. Plus links or lynx to read the
|
|---|
| 61 | (to be) generated BLFS HTML pages and, maybe, gpm.
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | CLFS MODULE
|
|---|
| 65 | -----------
|
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 | - Start the module creation.
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | HLFS MODULE
|
|---|
| 71 | -----------
|
|---|
| 72 |
|
|---|
| 73 | - To review and fix, if needed, the bash and XSL code.
|
|---|
| 74 |
|
|---|
| 75 | - Be sure that the book's XML code is in a sane state.
|
|---|
| 76 |
|
|---|
| 77 | - To do several build test for both Glibc and uClibc based systems.
|
|---|
| 78 |
|
|---|
| 79 |
|
|---|
| 80 | BLFS MODULE
|
|---|
| 81 | -----------
|
|---|
| 82 |
|
|---|
| 83 | - The SourceForge download links don't work.
|
|---|
| 84 |
|
|---|
| 85 | - To fix files creation using sudo. Comment from Ag Hatzim:
|
|---|
| 86 |
|
|---|
| 87 | Commands, that using cat with sudo, to redirect the output to
|
|---|
| 88 | certain files that users have no write access, will fail.
|
|---|
| 89 |
|
|---|
| 90 | Eg. fcron.
|
|---|
| 91 |
|
|---|
| 92 | #-------------------------------#
|
|---|
| 93 | (~/jhablfs)sudo cat >> /etc/syslog.conf << "EOF"
|
|---|
| 94 | # Begin fcron addition to /etc/syslog.conf
|
|---|
| 95 |
|
|---|
| 96 | cron.* -/var/log/cron.log
|
|---|
| 97 |
|
|---|
| 98 | # End fcron addition
|
|---|
| 99 | EOF
|
|---|
| 100 | zsh: permission denied: /etc/syslog.conf
|
|---|
| 101 | #-------------------------------#
|
|---|
| 102 |
|
|---|
| 103 | Since the shell is doing the redirection (man bash -REDIRECTION),
|
|---|
| 104 | *before* the command is executed, sudo can not see the redirection,
|
|---|
| 105 | so a new shell is needed for sudo to execute the actual command.
|
|---|
| 106 |
|
|---|
| 107 | Like so, the previous command should be something like this.
|
|---|
| 108 |
|
|---|
| 109 | #-------------------------------#
|
|---|
| 110 | (~/jhablfs)sudo sh -c "cat >> /etc/syslog.conf << "EOF"
|
|---|
| 111 | # Begin fcron addition to /etc/syslog.conf
|
|---|
| 112 |
|
|---|
| 113 | cron.* -/var/log/cron.log
|
|---|
| 114 |
|
|---|
| 115 | # End fcron addition
|
|---|
| 116 | EOF"
|
|---|
| 117 | #-------------------------------#
|
|---|
| 118 |
|
|---|
| 119 | - Figure out how to handle Perl modules installation and other pages
|
|---|
| 120 | that have commands to install more that one package (e.g., Gnat in GCC
|
|---|
| 121 | Java-bin in Java, sane-backends and sane-frotnends in Sane, etc)
|
|---|
| 122 |
|
|---|
| 123 | - Figure out how to handle alternative dependencies. I.e.,
|
|---|
| 124 | XFRee86 versus Xorg.
|
|---|
| 125 |
|
|---|
| 126 |
|
|---|
| 127 | OTHERS
|
|---|
| 128 | ------
|
|---|
| 129 |
|
|---|
| 130 | - Add a Cunstomization file discussing how to hack the generated scripts
|
|---|
| 131 | and Makefiles, using the Cracklib support for Shadow in LFS as an example.
|
|---|
| 132 |
|
|---|
| 133 | - To add support for ICA/farce? Can be done as a separate module?
|
|---|
| 134 |
|
|---|
| 135 | - To add support for package management??? NO for this tool. Maybe in the
|
|---|
| 136 | under development new alfs tool.
