1 | These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0):
|
---|
2 |
|
---|
3 | * second chroot command, chapter 6 glibc, fix up -> must by identical
|
---|
4 | to first chroot command in chapter 6
|
---|
5 |
|
---|
6 | * Chapter 5 fileutils, gcc, linux: instead of for example:
|
---|
7 | ln -s ../../bin/install install
|
---|
8 | change it to
|
---|
9 | ln -s ../../bin/install
|
---|
10 | This just shortens the command a bit and it looks better.
|
---|
11 |
|
---|
12 | * Chapter 5, gcc: change the title
|
---|
13 |
|
---|
14 | * Chapter 5, gzip: don't pass --disable-nls - it has no function on
|
---|
15 | the gzip package
|
---|
16 |
|
---|
17 | * Chapter 5, tar: remove prefix=$LFS/usr from the 'make install'
|
---|
18 |
|
---|
19 | * Chapter 5, mawk: instead of putting -static in CFLAGS which is sloppy
|
---|
20 | sed the Makefile to add an LDFLAGS variable similar to what we do
|
---|
21 | with bzip2 in chapter 5
|
---|
22 |
|
---|
23 | * Chapter 5, makedev: instead of sed "s/.../.../" put the quotations
|
---|
24 | marks inside the search reg ex (sed s/"..."/.../).
|
---|
25 |
|
---|
26 | * Chapter 5, makedev: cd to $LFS/dev first, then cp to makedev-temp and
|
---|
27 | patch it.
|
---|
28 |
|
---|
29 | * Chapter 6, glibc: after copying pt_chown set mode 4755 on it (Glibc
|
---|
30 | doesn't do this because it failed to copy pt_chown. It tried to chown
|
---|
31 | root it which failed because glibc wasn't fully installed yet)
|
---|
32 |
|
---|
33 | * Chapter 5, bash: add note that when error occurs regarding
|
---|
34 | install-info (on Debian systems for example) it can be safely
|
---|
35 | ignored.
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 | * Chapter 5, kernel: Remove the exessive explanations. Just the
|
---|
38 | commands in sequence like with any other package and explain below
|
---|
39 | in the "command explanations"
|
---|
40 |
|
---|
41 | * Chapter 5, bash: when the 'install-info' error corrurs on Debian
|
---|
42 | systems, check if this affects && (the message is Error 2 (ignored)
|
---|
43 | but does that mean the return value is set to 0 as well...)
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | * Check if findutils dumps binaries in /usr/local/bin
|
---|
46 |
|
---|
47 | * Try out latest shadow suite. If it fails with "nflg undefined" change
|
---|
48 | this in useradd.c : line 1768:
|
---|
49 | -if (! (nflg || gflg)) {
|
---|
50 | +if (!gflg) {
|
---|
51 |
|
---|
52 | * Make a note that during the first reboot an error from sysklogd is
|
---|
53 | normal due to missing /etc/services|protocols files which are
|
---|
54 | installed when netkit-base is installed later on in chapter 9
|
---|
55 |
|
---|
56 | * Chapter 3: mention lfs-packages isn't for CVS
|
---|
57 |
|
---|
58 | * Fix the static link problems some distro's are causing
|
---|
59 |
|
---|
60 | * Clean out the ethnet script (for interface in $(ls
|
---|
61 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* | grep -v ifcfg-lo)
|
---|
62 | do) needs some updating for example)
|
---|
63 |
|
---|
64 | * Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
|
---|
65 | name'. After Glibc installation we could modify the PS1 (export
|
---|
66 | PS1=newvalues) and test that way if glibc is working properly. This
|
---|
67 | saves us the having to exit and re-end chroot environtment. Another
|
---|
68 | idea is to run 'id' or 'whoami' after Glibc installation and check if
|
---|
69 | it's able to find a matching username with root's id.
|
---|
70 |
|
---|
71 | * Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
|
---|
72 |
|
---|
73 | * e2fsprogs apparently needs ldconfig. Check if there are other
|
---|
74 | packages before e2fsprogs which use ldconfig when it's present
|
---|
75 |
|
---|
76 | * Mention more hints through out the books (like BSD hint before
|
---|
77 | staring with chapter 7, devfs hint before running MAKEDEV, etc)
|
---|
78 |
|
---|
79 | * Fix the layout of intel/chapter7/usage.xml
|
---|
80 |
|
---|
81 | * Consider ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/
|
---|
82 | to replace console-tools/console-data
|
---|
83 |
|
---|
84 | * Try new procps install:
|
---|
85 | make OPT="$CFLAGS" INCDIRS='-I/usr/include -I.' XSCPT='' install
|
---|
86 | * When installing Glibc in chapter 6 the mtrace program isn't
|
---|
87 | build. Find out why.
|
---|
88 |
|
---|
89 | * Incorporate LFS FAQ in the book
|
---|
90 |
|
---|
91 | * Full dependency list. This list isn't a list of "package a depends on
|
---|
92 | package b", but a list of "package a depends on b and c from
|
---|
93 | package d"
|
---|
94 |
|
---|
95 | * Bring the book up to speed with the current FHS specs.
|
---|
96 |
|
---|
97 | * Mention security patches that can be applied to packages.
|
---|
98 |
|
---|
99 | * Don't run lilo from inside chroot anymore. This causes severe problems
|
---|
100 | sometimes including LILO not bootstrapping properly.
|
---|
101 |
|
---|
102 | * Bring back the PPC book (recreate from scratch using current intel
|
---|
103 | book) using Jesse McCrosky's notes at
|
---|
104 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-notes.txt
|
---|
105 | and the patch to the 'patch' package at:
|
---|
106 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-patch.patch
|
---|
107 |
|
---|
108 | * Add descriptions what the patches do we use (like the console-tools and gzip
|
---|
109 | patches)
|
---|
110 |
|
---|
111 | * Try out Slackware's MAKEDEV script and see if it's any better than the
|
---|
112 | currently used one. A copy can be found at
|
---|
113 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/Slackware-MAKEDEV
|
---|
114 |
|
---|
115 | * Add netkit-base and net-tools to Appendix A.
|
---|
116 |
|
---|
117 | * Suggest using this command to strip debug symbols after you finish
|
---|
118 | chapter 6: find $LFS -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
|
---|
119 |
