May 21st, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Creating Files: All those ln commands can be made into a few long ln commands. May 21st, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Glibc: Create an ld.so.conf file before building Glibc, to prevent an (harmless) error. May 21st, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Glibc: Don't bother doing the 'exec /stage1/bin/bash' stuff, it doesn't do anything now that we use PLFS. May 21st, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 & 06 - Installing Coreutils: Only test the non-root stuff in Chapter 05, but test everything in Chapter 06. May 21st, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Expect: Don't bother passing anything more than --prefix=/stage1. None of it is needed. May 16th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06: Net-tools: Changed make install to make update. May 15th, 2003 [timothy]: Chapter 05: Installing Patch: Added CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE before ./configure to fix patch build on PPC. May 13th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06: When we exec /path/to/bash --login, also run set +h to keep the hashing option turned off. Fixes bug #531 May 13th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Basic Network: Changed the single quotes to double quotes in the echo command. Without it, $(hostname) won't expand which defeats the sole purpose of this command - to make Perl's hostname check work. May 13th, 2003 [winkie]: Removed all occurrences &&. Updated bug syntax. Added "make check/test" where necessary in Chapter 6. May 13th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06: Applied "Changing ownership" patch to polish the text. Closes bug #511.

Nothing uses this once past GCC in chapter 6. The versions in /stage1/bin do the job just fine. May 13th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Shadow: Touching the /usr/bin/passwd file before installation. Not doing so results in Shadow thinking passwd will be in /bin/passwd. May 13th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Procps: Remove the /lib/libproc.so symlink. No package outside of Procps itself uses this library, and none should. May 13th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Net-tools: Run "make config" before doing make. Fixes bugs #462 and #497. May 13th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Ncurses: Added the vsscanf patch. May 12th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Gzip: Removed make check. It doesn't do anything. May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Texinfo: Don't install the texmf data. It's not used by anything. May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 & 06 - Installing Ncurses: In Chapter 6, symlink creation has been updated to include libcurses.*, and libncurses++.a has it's properties changed to 644. Chapter 5 doesn't need any libcurses.* so those are removed. May 12th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Basic Network: Added $(hostname) to /etc/hosts, without it Perl's hostname test doesn't pass. May 12th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Installing GCC: Don't try to remove /usr/include/libiberty.h. It isn't installed in the first place. May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Upgraded to findutils-4.1.7, gzip-1.3.5, and tar-1.13.25. May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Perl: Added extra commands to build certain modules into Perl. This is to accomodate the Coreutils "make check". Partially fixes bug #528. May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Gzip: Nothing in Chapter 6 checks for or uses the uncompress command, therefore we shouldn't create it. May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Bzip2: Running "make" implies "make check", therefore there is no reason whatsoever for us to run it manually. May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Lfs-Utils: Removed. The only package that checks for mktemp before it is installed is GCC, and that's only for gccbug. May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC-2.95.3: Added --enable-threads=posix as well to complete the C++ addition. May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC-2.95.3: Added --enable-languages=c,c++ to fix that gcc's version bug with regards to -Wreturn-type. Fixes bug #525 May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Bash: Removed the --without-bash-malloc configure option. May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Updated to gcc-3.2.3-specs-4.patch. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Setting up Basic Networking: Added section. Create a basic /etc/hosts files, and create /etc/services and /etc/protocols from IANA. Fixes bugs #359 & #515. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Upgrading to lfs-utils-0.2.2. This adds two files needed for proper networking configuration. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Removed Netkit-base 0.17. Added Inetutils 1.4.2. Fixes bug #490. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Added lfs-utils-0.2.1. Fixes bug #493. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Ncurses: Fix up the symlinks so that they follow suit of other library symlinks. No more weirdness here. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Procps: Removed XSCPT="" cruft and it's corresponding paragraph. This stuff isn't needed anymore. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Ncurses: Pass --without-debug to the configure script. It seems to have gotten lost at some point. May 11th, 2003 [timothy]: Chapter 5 & 6 - Installing Bzip2, Installing Zlib: Modified build commands per bug #524. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Glibc: Install the linuxthreads man pages, too. This got lost somewhere. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Grep: Added --with-included-regex to prevent Grep from using Glibc's somewhat bugged regex. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Coreutils: Fix some functionality of the uname command with a patch. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Net-tools: Just do regular old "make install" instead of "make update". The latter works fine now. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing GCC: After installation, remove /usr/include/libiberty.h. It is not used outside of the GCC build tree. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Upgraded to Bash 2.05b and added its patch. May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Zlib: Apply a patch to fix the buffer overflow in gzprintf(). May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Configuring system components: Moved the creation of the btmp, wtmp, lastlog and utmp to just before Shadow, so that they are detected at their proper locations. May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Automake: Run "make" before installing. This is needed now with the newer releases of Automake. May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Vim: Removed the patch. It hasn't been required since GCC 3.2.1. May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Creating the mtab file: Removed. Mounting /proc has the side effect of creating /etc/mtab for us. May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Make: Removed modification of /usr/bin/make file. It is no longer mistakenly installed with strange ownership or permissions. May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Glibc: Made /etc/localtime a file instead of a symlink. The symlink method breaks on systems where /usr is a separate partition. May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing E2fsprogs: Removed install-info commands for e2fsprogs. The "make install" target handles this for us. May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Removed all CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables where they are not essential (so, not including static binutils, gcc and compiling zlib with -fPIC). May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Binutils (pass1, pass2, locking glibc and adjusting toolchain): Change tooldir to /stage1 (likewise we use tooldir=/usr in chapter 6). May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Kernel headers: Removed the usage of cp -H because there are distributions out there that do not know about the -H option. May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: New gcc-3.2.3-specs-3.patch. May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Adjusting toolchain: Made it more architecture-independent. May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Locking in Glibc: Made it more architecture-independent. May 7th, 2003 [gerard]: Removed GCC No Debug patches. No longer assume gcc-core and gcc-g++ packages are downloaded, so added appropriate --enable-languages options. May 7th, 2003 [gerard]: Removed Chapter 6 - Glibc-Pass2. It's not needed anymore with the pure-lfs integration. May 7th, 2003 [gerard]: Downgraded to flex-2.5.4a again. Newer versions just don't work properly. May 5th, 2003 [gerard]: Removed zlib installation from chapter 5 (its inclusion was a mistake). May 5th, 2003 [gerard]: Various bug fixes that were introduced during the pure-lfs integration. May 2nd, 2003 [gerard]: Upgraded to: automake-1.7.4, e2fsprogs-1.33, file-4.02, flex-2.5.31, gawk-3.1.2, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2, grep-2.5.1, groff-1.19, less-381, libtool-1.5, man-1.5l, man-pages-1.56, modutils-2.4.25, procps-3.1.8, sed-4.0.7, sysvinit-2.85, texinfo-4.5, util-linux-2.11z May 2nd, 2003 [gerard]: Removed fileutils-4.1, sh-utils-2.0, textutils-2.1 (all replaced with coreutils-5.0).

January 29th, 2003 [gerard]: Downgraded to binutils-2.13.2 due to a GCC bug that can't parse the version string of binutils 2.13.2.1. The only changes between 2.13.2 and 2.13.2.1 are documentation changes, so there is no actual code downgrade. A better fix will be added to the book later. January 27th, 2003 [gerard, timothy, billy]: Converted the software installation pages into a new format. Also merged software installations with their configure components from "Configuring essential software". January 22nd, 2003 [timothy]: Chapter 06 - Configuring essential software: Corrected kernel directory for keymap location. January 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Added a new chroot command after the second Glibc installation that is to be used from that point onwards.
