&version; - &releasedate; Updated to: bison-1.31 file-3.37 glibc-2.2.5 lfs-bootscripts-1.2 linux-2.4.17 man-pages-1.47 psmisc-20.2 sysvinit-2.84 util-linux-2.11n January 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Configure software: Simplified the commands to create the utmp, btmp, lastlog and wtmp files. January 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter1: Moved Acknowledgements to be displayed as the first page in chapter 1. January 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 1: Created a seperate page to list the HTTP and FTP mirrors. January 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 4 - Creating partition: increased the suggested partition size from 750 MB to 1 GB. January 29th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Shadow: Combined the mv libshadow.a /usr/lib and mv libshadow.la /usr/lib commands into mv libshadow.*a /usr/lib January 26th, 2002 [gerard]: Upgraded to lfs-bootscripts-1.2 January 26th, 2002 [marcheerdink]: Chapter 6: Removed the datadir option from bisons configure flags, because recent bisons use the correct directory by default. January 23rd, 2002 [markh]: Chapter 6: Added the section Create /etc/mtab symlink. January 23rd, 2002 [gerard]: Removed the file -C command from the file installation. This package runs this command at the very end of the installation so we don't need to do this anymore. January 23rd, 2002 [marcheerdink]: Chapter 4+5+6: The static environment is now built as an unprivileged user, removing the risk of overwriting files of the host distribution. January 22nd, 2002 [markh]: Back out linuxthreads man-page installation instructions as they don't work (they need perl which we don't have installed at that point). January 21st, 2002 [markh]: Updated to glibc-2.2.5. At the same time, fixed the glibc installation so that the linuxthreads man pages are installed. January 21st, 2002 [markh]: Updated to bison-1.31, file-3.37, kernel-2.4.17, psmisc-20.2 and sysvinit-2.84. January 21st, 2002 [markh]: Updated to util-linux-2.11n and removed ADD_RAW=yes as it's no longer needed. January 21st, 2002 [markh]: Updated to man-pages-1.47 and removed the man-pages patch. January 15th, 2002 [gerard]: Appendix A: Added bootscripts files (dependencies, download location, descriptions) January 15th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 6: Added bootscripts installation. January 15th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 7: Removed most of the scripts, only left the part of a few where we setup up config files in /etc/sysconfig. January 15th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Configuring Sysvinit: Changed the inittab contents to match the new bootscripts. January 15th, 2002 [marcheerdink]: Chapter 6 - file: changed the installation instruction so the sed isn't nessecary anymore. January 14th, 2002 [marcheerdink]: Changed the kernel header files installation in chapter 5 so it's a bit more portable. January 6th, 2002 [gerard]: Reformatted the dependency lists. January 1st, 2002 [gerard]: Happy New Year LFS! January 1st, 2002 [markh]: First Changelog of New Year! Update copyright notice to cover 2002 ;-) OK - I'm sad... December 16th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Ed: Reworded why ed is optional to eliminate some confusion. December 16th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Texinfo: Reworded the TEXMF explanation to eliminate some confusion. December 15th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 4: Replaced the "One partition hint" reference with lfs_next_to_existing_systems.txt hint reference. December 15th, 2001 [markh]: Finish Appendix merge. All of the old appendices A, B and D are now in one (large) Appendix A. December 14th, 2001 [markh]: Merged appendices A and B. December 13th, 2001 [markh]: Appendix B: Changed dbhtml tag so that the flex page is now created as flex.html instead of flex December 13th, 2001 [markh]: Appendix D: Moved metalab.unc.edu and ftp.ibiblio.org references to the proper URL ibiblio.org. December 12th, 2001 [marcheerdink]: Chapter 6: Moved the kbd patch to the default installation instructions; upgraded to kbd-1.06-2.patch to fix installation of some programs; added the descriptions for these programs; removed the loadkeys -d warning that was a leftover from the time where loadkeys -d wasn't fixed yet. December 11th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Add the "why we cd $LFS before chroot" explanation. December 10th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Add kbd patch for loadkeys -d behaviour (patch by Matthias Benkmann; originally posted to the lfs-dev list). December 10th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Re-create symlinks in bash, fileutils and gcc instructions to make the Chapter 6 instructions independent of those in chapter 5. December 10th, 2001 [marcheerdink]: Chapter 5+6: Cleaned up the sed commands to use the backup file that was created earlier instead of writing to an intermediate 'tmp~' file. December 10th, 2001 [marcheerdink]: Chapter 5+6: 'make' command for diffutils installation changed to 'make PR_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/pr.' This bug was reported by Greg Schafer. December 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6: Change the configure command from ./Configure -Dprefix=/usr to ./configure.gnu --prefix=/usr. This is more consistent with the installation instructions for the other packages, and the result is identical to the old way. December 3rd, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 2: Added the Which Platform? section. 3.1 - December 3rd, 2001 Added: reiserfsprogs-3.x.0j Updated to: MAKEDEV-1.4 bash-2.05a e2fsprogs-1.25 gettext-0.10.40 libtool-1.4.2 lilo-22.1 linux-2.4.16 man-1.5j man-pages-1.43 modutils-2.4.12 sysvinit-2.83 util-linux-2.11m vim-6.0 November 30th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Updated to man-1.5j. Removed the sed which we had to use with the old version as the new one detects awk properly. November 30th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5: Added static library explanation originally posted on lfs-apps (when it still existed) by Plasmatic. November 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5+6: Updated to kernel-2.4.16 and modutils-2.4.12. November 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Added FHS compliance notes to the findutils installation. November 19th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5+6: Updated to bash-2.05a, lilo-22.1, MAKEDEV-1.4, man-pages-1.43 and util-linux-2.11m. November 5th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Created new lex script instead of link to flex following comment on lfs-dev. (This is similar to what we do with bison and yacc). October 27th, 2001 [markh]: General: Large XML Tidy-up. Shouldn't affect the book text or layout. If it does, something has gone wrong! October 27th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6: Added reiserfsprogs-3.x.0j and updated to lilo-22.0.2. October 24th, 2001 [markh]: General: Fixed a bundle of spelling errors which were reported. October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5 - Kernel: Added explanation as to why we copy the kernel headers rather than symlink them. October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Appendix A - Gzip: Added uncompress to the gunzip description as it was missing. October 12th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux: Removed the USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin entry as it's no longer needed with util-linux-2.11l. October 9th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Kbd: Removed the --datadir option, kbd's default is set properly already. October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Shadow: Mentioned the http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/shadowpasswd_plus.txt lfs-hint October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Vim: Changed the installation instructions to fix a bug in vim-6.0's syntax/sh.vim file, and added the CPPFLAGS variable to specify the global vimrc file as /etc/vimrc October 7th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6: Updated to libtool-1.4.2, lilo-22.0, man-pages-1.40, modutils-2.4.10, sysvinit-2.83, util-linux-2.11l and vim-6.0 October 2nd, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 9 - The End: Added the reference to the LFS Counter at http://linuxfromscratch.org/cgi-bin/lfscounter.cgi September 26th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 1 - News server: Added reference to the news server September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Changed --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look nice. September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5+6: Updated to e2fsprogs-1.25, gettext-0.10.40, linux-2.4.10, modutils-2.4.9 and util-linux-2.11i. September 22nd, 2001 [markh]: Appendix A: Re-ordered the descriptions into alphabetical order. 3.0 - September 21st, 2001 Updated to: e2fsprogs-1.24 September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the mailing list information to reflect the new ml structure. The Ch7 change is that the rc and rcS scripts now ask people to report problems to lfs-dev instead of lfs-discuss. September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC: Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads when not specified, it's clearer this way what's being enabled. September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc: Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in /bin). September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux: Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in /usr/bin. September 14th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Updated to version 1.24. September 11th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Man: Added missing && to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755 instead of 700 (more of a default mode so people don't _have_ to be running as the owner of that file).
