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

30BLFS MODULE
31-----------
32
33 - The SourceForge download links don't work.
34
35 - The current code to use a FTP mirror as fallback is broken
36 for several packages due FTP migration to upstream formats.
37
38 - To fix files creation using sudo. Comment from Ag Hatzim:
39
40 Commands, that using cat with sudo, to redirect the output to
41 certain files that users have no write access, will fail.
42
43 Eg. fcron.
44
45 #-------------------------------#
46 (~/jhablfs)sudo cat >> /etc/syslog.conf << "EOF"
47 # Begin fcron addition to /etc/syslog.conf
48
49 cron.* -/var/log/cron.log
50
51 # End fcron addition
52 EOF
53 zsh: permission denied: /etc/syslog.conf
54 #-------------------------------#
55
56 Since the shell is doing the redirection (man bash -REDIRECTION),
57 *before* the command is executed, sudo can not see the redirection,
58 so a new shell is needed for sudo to execute the actual command.
59
60 Like so, the previous command should be something like this.
61
62 #-------------------------------#
63 (~/jhablfs)sudo sh -c "cat >> /etc/syslog.conf << "EOF"
64 # Begin fcron addition to /etc/syslog.conf
65
66 cron.* -/var/log/cron.log
67
68 # End fcron addition
69 EOF"
70 #-------------------------------#
71
72 - Figure out how to handle Perl modules installation and other pages
73 that have commands to install more that one package (e.g., Gnat in GCC
74 Java-bin in Java, sane-backends and sane-frotnends in Sane, etc)
75
76 - Figure out how to handle alternative dependencies. I.e.,
77 XFRee86 versus Xorg.
78
79
80OTHERS
81------
82
83 - Add a Cunstomization file discussing how to hack the generated scripts
84 and Makefiles, using the Cracklib support for Shadow in LFS as an example.
85 NOTE: that could require an special command line switch to regenerate the
86 Makefile if additional scripts are manually added to the *-commands/*/ dirs.
