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