[6a5de1b] | 1 | These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0):
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 2 |
|
---|
[f959601] | 3 | * When installing Glibc in chapter 6 glibc-build/login/pt_chown isn't
|
---|
| 4 | installed (we'll copy manually for now) and the mtrace program isn't
|
---|
| 5 | build. Find out why.
|
---|
[f2c2c38] | 6 |
|
---|
[2c6bec9] | 7 | * Rewrite all of the mailinglist info (book and website) and give more
|
---|
| 8 | information how you can set to things like digest, digest2, vacation
|
---|
| 9 | and other useful modes.
|
---|
| 10 |
|
---|
[86c5b20] | 11 | * Move the explanations in MAKEDEV's installation to the "Command
|
---|
[6ca39ca] | 12 | * explanation" section (also move from chap6 to chap5)
|
---|
[86c5b20] | 13 |
|
---|
| 14 | * Unmount $LFS/proc when done with chapter 7
|
---|
| 15 |
|
---|
[8dd5e03] | 16 | * Check out alternative findutils patch in
|
---|
| 17 | * http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/findutils-4.1.alternative-patch
|
---|
| 18 |
|
---|
[a9bccebf] | 19 | * Check to see if the man pages from the ld.so package also come with
|
---|
| 20 | the man-pages package.
|
---|
| 21 |
|
---|
[504a804] | 22 | * Incorporate LFS FAQ in the book
|
---|
| 23 |
|
---|
[1e4c1ae] | 24 | * In console-tools-0.2.3/doc/man, there are more files ending in *.in
|
---|
| 25 | that need to be renamed and copied to /usr/share/man. But before we
|
---|
| 26 | copy any files we should modify them first and change the @datadir@
|
---|
| 27 | occurances in those files to it's proper location (/usr/share IIRC)
|
---|
| 28 |
|
---|
[4ea9f08] | 29 | * Work on intel/preface/whoread.sgml and change the working to make it
|
---|
[1e7f8b0] | 30 | flow and sound nicer. Use
|
---|
| 31 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/whoread-draft.txt as a base
|
---|
| 32 | (this is a draft by Oren Byer, based on an earlier draft by Gerard
|
---|
| 33 | Beekmans).
|
---|
[4ea9f08] | 34 |
|
---|
[610bade] | 35 | * After entering chroot check the $TERM variable and set it properly if
|
---|
| 36 | needed
|
---|
| 37 |
|
---|
[a1ca0e1] | 38 | * Add dedicated package version number entities (to avoid having to make
|
---|
| 39 | changes to 2-7 files to just change the version number of a package).
|
---|
| 40 |
|
---|
| 41 | * Get rid of the codes 'pp' in chapter 5 entities, 'in' in chapter 6
|
---|
| 42 | entities and the like with other chapters.
|
---|
| 43 |
|
---|
[a35e5d4] | 44 | * Re-arrange the list in chapter 3 to match the order in which
|
---|
| 45 | packages are installed.
|
---|
| 46 |
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 47 | * Full dependency list. This list isn't a list of "package a depends on
|
---|
| 48 | package b" but a list like "package b depends on the files c, d and e
|
---|
| 49 | from package f".
|
---|
| 50 |
|
---|
| 51 | * Bring the book up to speed with the current FHS specs.
|
---|
| 52 |
|
---|
| 53 | * Mention security patches that can be applied to packages.
|
---|
| 54 |
|
---|
| 55 | * At the end of the book suggest the user create the /etc/lfs-<version>
|
---|
| 56 | file and give a few reasons why the user would want
|
---|
| 57 | such a file (example: it's easy to forget after a while which LFS version
|
---|
| 58 | you run; it makes debugging easier for us knowing which LFS version a user
|
---|
| 59 | is running).
|
---|
| 60 |
|
---|
| 61 | * Explain how changing runlevels works. Use the file written by Simon
|
---|
| 62 | Perreault at http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/runlevels.txt
|
---|
| 63 |
|
---|
| 64 | * Don't run lilo from inside chroot anymore. This causes severe problems
|
---|
| 65 | sometimes including LILO not bootstrapping properly.
|
---|
| 66 |
|
---|
| 67 | * Bring back the PPC book (recreate from scratch using current intel
|
---|
| 68 | book) using Jesse McCrosky's notes at
|
---|
| 69 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-notes.txt
|
---|
[77290a3] | 70 | and the patch to the 'patch' package at:
|
---|
| 71 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-patch.patch
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 72 |
|
---|
| 73 | * Add descriptions what the patches do we use (like the console-tools and gzip
|
---|
| 74 | patches)
|
---|
| 75 |
|
---|
| 76 | * Try out Slackware's MAKEDEV script and see if it's any better than the
|
---|
| 77 | currently used one. A copy can be found at
|
---|
| 78 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/Slackware-MAKEDEV
|
---|
| 79 |
|
---|
| 80 | * Sed'ing the MAKEDEV script gives us hda[1-20], hdb[1-20] and so forth.
|
---|
| 81 | Mention that all of these can't actually be used due to kernel
|
---|
| 82 | limitations (IDE goes to 16 max for example).
|
---|
| 83 |
|
---|
| 84 | * Type in chapter 2 - how to install software: Last paragraph:
|
---|
| 85 | s/There is on exception/There is one exception/
|
---|
| 86 |
|
---|
| 87 | * Rewrite chapter 2 a little bit. Add that export LFS=/mnt/lfs could be
|
---|
| 88 | added to root's .bash_profile/.bashrc (outside chroot) to make sure
|
---|
| 89 | that between build sessions the variable is still set.
|
---|
| 90 |
|
---|
| 91 | * Add to chapter 2 how to use .gz files (not just .tar.gz)
|
---|
| 92 |
|
---|
| 93 | * Mention LFS should be installed as user root
|
---|
| 94 |
|
---|
[c98149a] | 95 | * Single user mode has been reported not to work properly. Shutdown
|
---|
| 96 | doesn't seem to unmount file systems and the shell doesn't come up
|
---|
| 97 | properly when 'telinit S'.
|
---|
[c9a095c] | 98 |
|
---|
| 99 | * Add netkit-base and net-tools to Appendix A.
|
---|
| 100 |
|
---|
| 101 | * Use /etc/HOSTNAME for setting the hostname. This is a bit more
|
---|
| 102 | compliant with other distributions and therefore less confusing to
|
---|
| 103 | people.
|
---|
| 104 |
|
---|
| 105 | * Suggest using this command to strip debug symbols after you finish
|
---|
| 106 | chapter 6: find $LFS -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
|
---|
| 107 |
|
---|
| 108 | * Modify the killproc function in the functions script. Right now it
|
---|
| 109 | works roughly as follows: killl, wait 2 secs, check if pid's are gone.
|
---|
| 110 | If not, kill with -KILL (aka -9), wait 2 secs, checkif pid's are gone.
|
---|
| 111 | If no, print error message.
|
---|
| 112 |
|
---|
| 113 | Change this into: kill, don't wait 2 secs but check for pid's right
|
---|
| 114 | away. If pid's are still there, then wait 2 seconds and kill -KILL,
|
---|
| 115 | wait, if pid's still there, print error. Most daemons will exit
|
---|
| 116 | immediately and the 2 second wait for every daemon slows things down
|
---|
| 117 | unnessary.
|
---|
| 118 |
|
---|
[88ad268] | 119 | * Transform SGML DocBook into XML DocBook
|
---|
