| 1 | These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0):
|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | * Chapter 3: mention lfs-packages isn't for CVS
|
|---|
| 4 |
|
|---|
| 5 | * Fix the static link problems some distro's are causing
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | * Clean out the ethnet script (for interface in $(ls
|
|---|
| 8 | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* | grep -v ifcfg-lo)
|
|---|
| 9 | do) needs some updating for example)
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | * Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
|
|---|
| 12 | name'. After Glibc installation we could modify the PS1 (export
|
|---|
| 13 | PS1=newvalues) and test that way if glibc is working properly. This
|
|---|
| 14 | saves us the having to exit and re-end chroot environtment. Another
|
|---|
| 15 | idea is to run 'id' or 'whoami' after Glibc installation and check if
|
|---|
| 16 | it's able to find a matching username with root's id.
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | * Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | * e2fsprogs apparently needs ldconfig. Check if there are other
|
|---|
| 21 | packages before e2fsprogs which use ldconfig when it's present
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | * Mention more hints through out the books (like BSD hint before
|
|---|
| 24 | staring with chapter 7, devfs hint before running MAKEDEV, etc)
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | * Fix the layout of intel/chapter7/usage.xml
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | * Consider ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/
|
|---|
| 29 | to replace console-tools/console-data
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | * Try new procps install:
|
|---|
| 32 | make OPT="$CFLAGS" INCDIRS='-I/usr/include -I.' XSCPT='' install
|
|---|
| 33 | * When installing Glibc in chapter 6 glibc-build/login/pt_chown isn't
|
|---|
| 34 | installed (we'll copy manually for now) and the mtrace program isn't
|
|---|
| 35 | build. Find out why.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | * Incorporate LFS FAQ in the book
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | * Full dependency list. This list isn't a list of "package a depends on
|
|---|
| 40 | package b", but a list of "package a depends on b and c from
|
|---|
| 41 | package d"
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | * Bring the book up to speed with the current FHS specs.
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | * Mention security patches that can be applied to packages.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | * Don't run lilo from inside chroot anymore. This causes severe problems
|
|---|
| 48 | sometimes including LILO not bootstrapping properly.
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | * Bring back the PPC book (recreate from scratch using current intel
|
|---|
| 51 | book) using Jesse McCrosky's notes at
|
|---|
| 52 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-notes.txt
|
|---|
| 53 | and the patch to the 'patch' package at:
|
|---|
| 54 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-patch.patch
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | * Add descriptions what the patches do we use (like the console-tools and gzip
|
|---|
| 57 | patches)
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | * Try out Slackware's MAKEDEV script and see if it's any better than the
|
|---|
| 60 | currently used one. A copy can be found at
|
|---|
| 61 | http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/Slackware-MAKEDEV
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | * Add netkit-base and net-tools to Appendix A.
|
|---|
| 64 |
|
|---|
| 65 | * Suggest using this command to strip debug symbols after you finish
|
|---|
| 66 | chapter 6: find $LFS -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
