jhalfs TODO --------------- MASTER SCRIPT ------------- - The BLFS moudule should can be called in conjunction with any of LFS, CLFS or HLFS modules. - To create a Makefile to install jhalfs-X system-wide. Note: is that actually wanted? LFS MODULE (some of this is applicable also to CLFS and HLFS modules) ---------- - To fix the dowload code when all packages will be placed on the FTP mirrors in the upstream formats. - To add a switch to build the BLFS module dependencies at the end of the LFS build, that is, wget and sudo. SVN and libxslt aren't needed at this stage due that the BLFS book could be downloaded and parser at the same time that the LFS book. Plus links or lynx to read the (to be) generated BLFS HTML pages and, maybe, gpm. BLFS MODULE ----------- - The SourceForge download links don't work. - To fix files creation using sudo. Comment from Ag Hatzim: Commands, that using cat with sudo, to redirect the output to certain files that users have no write access, will fail. Eg. fcron. #-------------------------------# (~/jhablfs)sudo cat >> /etc/syslog.conf << "EOF" # Begin fcron addition to /etc/syslog.conf cron.* -/var/log/cron.log # End fcron addition EOF zsh: permission denied: /etc/syslog.conf #-------------------------------# Since the shell is doing the redirection (man bash -REDIRECTION), *before* the command is executed, sudo can not see the redirection, so a new shell is needed for sudo to execute the actual command. Like so, the previous command should be something like this. #-------------------------------# (~/jhablfs)sudo sh -c "cat >> /etc/syslog.conf << "EOF" # Begin fcron addition to /etc/syslog.conf cron.* -/var/log/cron.log # End fcron addition EOF" #-------------------------------# - Figure out how to handle Perl modules installation and other pages that have commands to install more that one package (e.g., Gnat in GCC Java-bin in Java, sane-backends and sane-frotnends in Sane, etc) - Figure out how to handle alternative dependencies. I.e., XFRee86 versus Xorg. OTHERS ------ - Add a Cunstomization file discussing how to hack the generated scripts and Makefiles, using the Cracklib support for Shadow in LFS as an example. NOTE: that could require an special command line switch to regenerate the Makefile if additional scripts are manually added to the *-commands/*/ dirs. - To add support for ICA/farce. That is a required feature. - To add support for package management??? NO by default, but patches are acepted and will be added to the sources as external contributions.
