[6a5de1b] | 1 | These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0):
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 2 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 3 | * Chapter 5 fileutils, gcc, linux: instead of for example:
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 4 | ln -s ../../bin/install install
|
---|
| 5 | change it to
|
---|
| 6 | ln -s ../../bin/install
|
---|
| 7 | This just shortens the command a bit and it looks better.
|
---|
| 8 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 9 | * Chapter 5, gcc: change the title
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 10 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 11 | * Chapter 5, gzip: don't pass --disable-nls - it has no function on
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 12 | the gzip package
|
---|
| 13 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 14 | * Chapter 5, tar: remove prefix=$LFS/usr from the 'make install'
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 15 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 16 | * Chapter 5, mawk: instead of putting -static in CFLAGS which is sloppy
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 17 | sed the Makefile to add an LDFLAGS variable similar to what we do
|
---|
| 18 | with bzip2 in chapter 5
|
---|
| 19 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 20 | * Chapter 5, makedev: instead of sed "s/.../.../" put the quotations
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 21 | marks inside the search reg ex (sed s/"..."/.../).
|
---|
| 22 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 23 | * Chapter 5, makedev: cd to $LFS/dev first, then cp to makedev-temp and
|
---|
[475c6f5] | 24 | patch it.
|
---|
| 25 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 26 | * Chapter 6, glibc: after copying pt_chown set mode 4755 on it (Glibc
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 27 | doesn't do this because it failed to copy pt_chown. It tried to chown
|
---|
| 28 | root it which failed because glibc wasn't fully installed yet)
|
---|
| 29 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 30 | * Chapter 5, bash: add note that when error occurs regarding
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 31 | install-info (on Debian systems for example) it can be safely
|
---|
| 32 | ignored.
|
---|
| 33 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 34 | * Chapter 5, kernel: Remove the exessive explanations. Just the
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 35 | commands in sequence like with any other package and explain below
|
---|
| 36 | in the "command explanations"
|
---|
| 37 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 38 | * Chapter 5, bash: when the 'install-info' error corrurs on Debian
|
---|
[77a68e7] | 39 | systems, check if this affects && (the message is Error 2 (ignored)
|
---|
| 40 | but does that mean the return value is set to 0 as well...)
|
---|
| 41 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 42 | * Check if findutils dumps binaries in /usr/local/bin
|
---|
[8b70a74] | 43 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 44 | * Try out latest shadow suite. If it fails with "nflg undefined" change
|
---|
[f43b17b] | 45 | this in useradd.c : line 1768:
|
---|
| 46 | -if (! (nflg || gflg)) {
|
---|
| 47 | +if (!gflg) {
|
---|
| 48 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 49 | * Make a note that during the first reboot an error from sysklogd is
|
---|
[e286188d] | 50 | normal due to missing /etc/services|protocols files which are
|
---|
| 51 | installed when netkit-base is installed later on in chapter 9
|
---|
| 52 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 53 | * Chapter 3: mention lfs-packages isn't for CVS
|
---|
[324b295] | 54 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 55 | * Fix the static link problems some distro's are causing
|
---|
[44a7fad] | 56 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 57 | * Clean out the ethnet script (for interface in $(ls
|
---|
[fe12c25] | 58 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* | grep -v ifcfg-lo)
|
---|
| 59 | do) needs some updating for example)
|
---|
| 60 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 61 | * Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
|
---|
[79b0090] | 62 | name'. After Glibc installation we could modify the PS1 (export
|
---|
| 63 | PS1=newvalues) and test that way if glibc is working properly. This
|
---|
| 64 | saves us the having to exit and re-end chroot environtment. Another
|
---|
| 65 | idea is to run 'id' or 'whoami' after Glibc installation and check if
|
---|
| 66 | it's able to find a matching username with root's id.
|
---|
| 67 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 68 | * Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
|
---|
[f10f45d] | 69 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 70 | * e2fsprogs apparently needs ldconfig. Check if there are other
|
---|
[4378e5b] | 71 | packages before e2fsprogs which use ldconfig when it's present
|
---|
| 72 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 73 | * Mention more hints through out the books (like BSD hint before
|
---|
[c81e81c] | 74 | staring with chapter 7, devfs hint before running MAKEDEV, etc)
|
---|
| 75 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 76 | * Fix the layout of intel/chapter7/usage.xml
|
---|
[1119b66] | 77 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 78 | * Consider ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/
|
---|
[e939b0f] | 79 | to replace console-tools/console-data
|
---|
| 80 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 81 | * Try new procps install:
|
---|
[0cdbaf7] | 82 | make OPT="$CFLAGS" INCDIRS='-I/usr/include -I.' XSCPT='' install
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 83 | * When installing Glibc in chapter 6 the mtrace program isn't
|
---|
[f959601] | 84 | build. Find out why.
|
---|
[f2c2c38] | 85 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 86 | * Incorporate LFS FAQ in the book
|
---|
[504a804] | 87 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 88 | * Full dependency list. This list isn't a list of "package a depends on
|
---|
[1eafd92] | 89 | package b", but a list of "package a depends on b and c from
|
---|
| 90 | package d"
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 91 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 92 | * Bring the book up to speed with the current FHS specs.
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 93 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 94 | * Mention security patches that can be applied to packages.
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 95 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 96 | * Don't run lilo from inside chroot anymore. This causes severe problems
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 97 | sometimes including LILO not bootstrapping properly.
|
---|
| 98 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 99 | * Bring back the PPC book (recreate from scratch using current intel
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 100 | book) using Jesse McCrosky's notes at
|
---|
| 101 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-notes.txt
|
---|
[77290a3] | 102 | and the patch to the 'patch' package at:
|
---|
| 103 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-patch.patch
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 104 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 105 | * Add descriptions what the patches do we use (like the console-tools and gzip
|
---|
| 106 | patches)
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 107 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 108 | * Try out Slackware's MAKEDEV script and see if it's any better than the
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 109 | currently used one. A copy can be found at
|
---|
| 110 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/Slackware-MAKEDEV
|
---|
| 111 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 112 | * Add netkit-base and net-tools to Appendix A.
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 113 |
|
---|
[46b85b6] | 114 | * Suggest using this command to strip debug symbols after you finish
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 115 | chapter 6: find $LFS -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
|
---|
| 116 |
