[6a5de1b] | 1 | These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0):
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 2 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 3 | * Chapter 5, tar: remove prefix=$LFS/usr from the 'make install'
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 4 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 5 | * Chapter 5, mawk: instead of putting -static in CFLAGS which is sloppy
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 6 | sed the Makefile to add an LDFLAGS variable similar to what we do
|
---|
| 7 | with bzip2 in chapter 5
|
---|
| 8 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 9 | * Chapter 5, makedev: instead of sed "s/.../.../" put the quotations
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 10 | marks inside the search reg ex (sed s/"..."/.../).
|
---|
| 11 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 12 | * Chapter 5, makedev: cd to $LFS/dev first, then cp to makedev-temp and
|
---|
[475c6f5] | 13 | patch it.
|
---|
| 14 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 15 | * Chapter 6, glibc: after copying pt_chown set mode 4755 on it (Glibc
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 16 | doesn't do this because it failed to copy pt_chown. It tried to chown
|
---|
| 17 | root it which failed because glibc wasn't fully installed yet)
|
---|
| 18 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 19 | * Chapter 5, bash: add note that when error occurs regarding
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 20 | install-info (on Debian systems for example) it can be safely
|
---|
| 21 | ignored.
|
---|
| 22 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 23 | * Chapter 5, kernel: Remove the exessive explanations. Just the
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 24 | commands in sequence like with any other package and explain below
|
---|
| 25 | in the "command explanations"
|
---|
| 26 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 27 | * Chapter 5, bash: when the 'install-info' error corrurs on Debian
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 28 | systems, check if this affects && (the message is Error 2 (ignored)
|
---|
| 29 | but does that mean the return value is set to 0 as well...)
|
---|
| 30 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 31 | * Check if findutils dumps binaries in /usr/local/bin
|
---|
[8b70a74] | 32 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 33 | * Try out latest shadow suite. If it fails with "nflg undefined" change
|
---|
[f43b17b] | 34 | this in useradd.c : line 1768:
|
---|
| 35 | -if (! (nflg || gflg)) {
|
---|
| 36 | +if (!gflg) {
|
---|
| 37 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 38 | * Make a note that during the first reboot an error from sysklogd is
|
---|
[e286188d] | 39 | normal due to missing /etc/services|protocols files which are
|
---|
| 40 | installed when netkit-base is installed later on in chapter 9
|
---|
| 41 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 42 | * Chapter 3: mention lfs-packages isn't for CVS
|
---|
[324b295] | 43 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 44 | * Fix the static link problems some distro's are causing
|
---|
[44a7fad] | 45 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 46 | * Clean out the ethnet script (for interface in $(ls
|
---|
[fe12c25] | 47 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* | grep -v ifcfg-lo)
|
---|
| 48 | do) needs some updating for example)
|
---|
| 49 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 50 | * Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
|
---|
[79b0090] | 51 | name'. After Glibc installation we could modify the PS1 (export
|
---|
| 52 | PS1=newvalues) and test that way if glibc is working properly. This
|
---|
| 53 | saves us the having to exit and re-end chroot environtment. Another
|
---|
| 54 | idea is to run 'id' or 'whoami' after Glibc installation and check if
|
---|
| 55 | it's able to find a matching username with root's id.
|
---|
| 56 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 57 | * Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
|
---|
[f10f45d] | 58 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 59 | * e2fsprogs apparently needs ldconfig. Check if there are other
|
---|
[4378e5b] | 60 | packages before e2fsprogs which use ldconfig when it's present
|
---|
| 61 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 62 | * Mention more hints through out the books (like BSD hint before
|
---|
[c81e81c] | 63 | staring with chapter 7, devfs hint before running MAKEDEV, etc)
|
---|
| 64 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 65 | * Fix the layout of intel/chapter7/usage.xml
|
---|
[1119b66] | 66 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 67 | * Consider ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/
|
---|
[e939b0f] | 68 | to replace console-tools/console-data
|
---|
| 69 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 70 | * Try new procps install:
|
---|
[0cdbaf7] | 71 | make OPT="$CFLAGS" INCDIRS='-I/usr/include -I.' XSCPT='' install
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 72 | * When installing Glibc in chapter 6 the mtrace program isn't
|
---|
[f959601] | 73 | build. Find out why.
|
---|
[f2c2c38] | 74 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 75 | * Incorporate LFS FAQ in the book
|
---|
[504a804] | 76 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 77 | * Full dependency list. This list isn't a list of "package a depends on
|
---|
[1eafd92] | 78 | package b", but a list of "package a depends on b and c from
|
---|
| 79 | package d"
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 80 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 81 | * Bring the book up to speed with the current FHS specs.
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 82 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 83 | * Mention security patches that can be applied to packages.
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 84 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 85 | * Don't run lilo from inside chroot anymore. This causes severe problems
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 86 | sometimes including LILO not bootstrapping properly.
|
---|
| 87 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 88 | * Bring back the PPC book (recreate from scratch using current intel
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 89 | book) using Jesse McCrosky's notes at
|
---|
| 90 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-notes.txt
|
---|
[77290a3] | 91 | and the patch to the 'patch' package at:
|
---|
| 92 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-patch.patch
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 93 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 94 | * Add descriptions what the patches do we use (like the console-tools and gzip
|
---|
| 95 | patches)
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 96 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 97 | * Try out Slackware's MAKEDEV script and see if it's any better than the
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 98 | currently used one. A copy can be found at
|
---|
| 99 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/Slackware-MAKEDEV
|
---|
| 100 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 101 | * Add netkit-base and net-tools to Appendix A.
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 102 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 103 | * Suggest using this command to strip debug symbols after you finish
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 104 | chapter 6: find $LFS -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
|
---|
| 105 |
