1 | These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0):
|
---|
2 |
|
---|
3 | * Create appendix D - Known problems, group by package, list symptoms
|
---|
4 | of known problems and solutions (example is the libcurses.a symlink
|
---|
5 | in chapter 5, bash)
|
---|
6 |
|
---|
7 | * Chapter 5, bash: add note that when error occurs regarding
|
---|
8 | install-info (on Debian systems for example) it can be safely
|
---|
9 | ignored.
|
---|
10 |
|
---|
11 | * Chapter 5, bash: when the 'install-info' error corrurs on Debian
|
---|
12 | systems, check if this affects && (the message is Error 2 (ignored)
|
---|
13 | but does that mean the return value is set to 0 as well...)
|
---|
14 |
|
---|
15 | * Check if findutils dumps binaries in /usr/local/bin
|
---|
16 |
|
---|
17 | * Try out latest shadow suite. If it fails with "nflg undefined" change
|
---|
18 | this in useradd.c : line 1768:
|
---|
19 | -if (! (nflg || gflg)) {
|
---|
20 | +if (!gflg) {
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 | * Make a note that during the first reboot an error from sysklogd is
|
---|
23 | normal due to missing /etc/services|protocols files which are
|
---|
24 | installed when netkit-base is installed later on in chapter 9
|
---|
25 |
|
---|
26 | * Chapter 3: mention lfs-packages isn't for CVS
|
---|
27 |
|
---|
28 | * Fix the static link problems some distro's are causing
|
---|
29 |
|
---|
30 | * Clean out the ethnet script (for interface in $(ls
|
---|
31 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* | grep -v ifcfg-lo)
|
---|
32 | do) needs some updating for example)
|
---|
33 |
|
---|
34 | * Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
|
---|
35 | name'. After Glibc installation we could modify the PS1 (export
|
---|
36 | PS1=newvalues) and test that way if glibc is working properly. This
|
---|
37 | saves us the having to exit and re-enter chroot environtment. Another
|
---|
38 | idea is to run 'id' or 'whoami' after Glibc installation and check if
|
---|
39 | it's able to find a matching username with root's id.
|
---|
40 |
|
---|
41 | * Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
|
---|
42 |
|
---|
43 | * e2fsprogs apparently needs ldconfig. Check if there are other
|
---|
44 | packages before e2fsprogs which use ldconfig when it's present
|
---|
45 |
|
---|
46 | * Mention more hints through out the books (like BSD hint before
|
---|
47 | staring with chapter 7, devfs hint before running MAKEDEV, etc)
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | * Consider ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/
|
---|
50 | to replace console-tools/console-data
|
---|
51 |
|
---|
52 | * Try new procps install:
|
---|
53 | make OPT="$CFLAGS" INCDIRS='-I/usr/include -I.' XSCPT='' install
|
---|
54 | * When installing Glibc in chapter 6 the mtrace program isn't
|
---|
55 | build. Find out why.
|
---|
56 |
|
---|
57 | * Incorporate LFS FAQ in the book
|
---|
58 |
|
---|
59 | * Full dependency list. This list isn't a list of "package a depends on
|
---|
60 | package b", but a list of "package a depends on b and c from
|
---|
61 | package d"
|
---|
62 |
|
---|
63 | * Bring the book up to speed with the current FHS specs.
|
---|
64 |
|
---|
65 | * Mention security patches that can be applied to packages.
|
---|
66 |
|
---|
67 | * Don't run lilo from inside chroot anymore. This causes severe problems
|
---|
68 | sometimes including LILO not bootstrapping properly.
|
---|
69 |
|
---|
70 | * Bring back the PPC book (recreate from scratch using current intel
|
---|
71 | book) using Jesse McCrosky's notes at
|
---|
72 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-notes.txt
|
---|
73 | and the patch to the 'patch' package at:
|
---|
74 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-patch.patch
|
---|
75 |
|
---|
76 | * Add descriptions what the patches do we use (like the console-tools and gzip
|
---|
77 | patches)
|
---|
78 |
|
---|
79 | * Try out Slackware's MAKEDEV script and see if it's any better than the
|
---|
80 | currently used one. A copy can be found at
|
---|
81 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/Slackware-MAKEDEV
|
---|
82 |
|
---|
83 | * Add netkit-base and net-tools to Appendix A.
|
---|
84 |
|
---|
85 | * Suggest using this command to strip debug symbols after you finish
|
---|
86 | chapter 6: find $LFS -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
|
---|
87 |
|
---|
88 | * Fix typo on line 16 of intel/chapter7/usage.xml (added by nomis80)
