    1515<listitem><para>
    16 Chapter 1: Added the lfs-security list to the list of available
    17 mailinglists.
    18 </para></listitem>
    19 
    20 <listitem><para>
    21 Chapter 1: Updated the mirror sites list.
    22 </para></listitem>
    23 
    24 <listitem><para>
    25 Chapter 5: Bash still had the --with-ncurses option which is a bogus
    26 option (it may as well have said --with-foo-bar). It has been changed
    27 into --with-curses (like it was already done in chapter 6)
    28 </para></listitem>
    29 
    30 <listitem><para>
    31 Chapter 5: Instead of CPPFLAGS=-Dvar=value ./configure during the
    32 installation of diffutils, grep and sed, we now use export
    33 CPPFLAGS=-Dvar=value && ./configure && unset CPPFLAGS. This was done to
    34 get things working on some systems that don't work well with that
    35 construction.
    36 </para></listitem>
    37 
    38 <listitem><para>
    39 Chapter 5 + 6: Added the --libexecdir parameter to fileutile's configure
    40 command. This was done to avoid the creation of the $LFS/usr/libexec directory.
    41 </para></listitem>
    42 
    43 <listitem><para>
    44 Chapter 5 + 6: Added the --libexecdir parameter to tar's configure command. This
    45 was done to avoid the creation of the $LFS/usr/libexec directory.
    46 </para></listitem>
    47 
    48 <listitem><para>
    49 Chapter 6: Moved the installation of the man-pages packages as the very
    50 first package. This way we don't have to worry about files being
    51 overwritten by this package's make install. It will install all the man
    52 pages it has and as we install packages in chapter 6 those packages will
    53 install their own man pages replacing the files from man-pages.
    54 </para></listitem>
    55 
    56 <listitem><para>
    57 Chapter 6: Added the copying of the man pages after console-tools has
    58 been installed.
    59 </para></listitem>
    60 
    61 <listitem><para>
    62 Chapter 6: Provided a patch to sysvinit. Read the installation notes
    63 what the patch is for.
    64 </para></listitem>
    65 
    66 <listitem><para>
    67 Chapter 6: Removed compiler optimization from the book. Thomas "Balu"
    68 Walter has transformed it into an LFS-Hint.
    69 </para></listitem>
    70 
    71 <listitem><para>
    72 Chapter 6: Removed running of localedef. This apparently isn't needed.
    73 </para></listitem>
    74 
    75 <listitem><para>
    76 Chapter 6: Added the compress and uncompress symlinks to the
    77 installation  of gzip.
    78 </para></listitem>
    79 
    80 <listitem><para>
    81 Chapter 6: When entering chroot environment use absolute paths to the
    82 env and bash programs instead of relying on $PATH to be set properly.
    83 </para></listitem>
    84 
    85 <listitem><para>
    86 Chapter 6: Override libexecdir's variable during the installation of
    87 findutils. As findutils' configure script doesn't recognize the
    88 libexecdir parameter, we'll override the variable during the make
    89 install phase.
    90 </para></listitem>
    91 
    92 <listitem><para>
    93 Chapter 6: Instead of sed'ing the Makefile file during the installations
    94 of procinfo, procps and psmisc, we pipe the output of sed to make and
    95 build the packages that way. This is more effecient.
    96 </para></listitem>
    97 
    98 <listitem><para>
    99 Chapter 6: Use sed to modify the MCONFIG file.
    100 </para></listitem>
    101 
    102 <listitem><para>
    103 Chapter 6: Instead of using cp -avi to copy the files from the man-pages
    104 package, we use cp -dRiv now. This is almost the same as -avi, it just
    105 won't preserve the file attributes. The files from the packages would
    106 otherwise be installed not owned by user root but with userid 1000 which
    107 wasn't a good thing.
    108 </para></listitem>
    109 
    110 <listitem><para>
    111 Chapter 6: Mentioned the LFS-Hints' editor's section containing
    112 alternatives to vim in case you don't want vim installed on your system.
    113 </para></listitem>
    114 
    115 <listitem><para>
    116 Chapter 6: Added the sysklogd-1.4 patch. Sysklogd out of the box comes
    117 with a broken klogd - it's not able to intercept kernel messages. This
    118 patch fixes this.
    119 </para></listitem>
    120 
    121 <listitem><para>
    122 Chapter 6: Instead of having two seperate fallthrough lines in the
    123 inittab file (f1:0:... and f2:6:....) these are merged into one line
    124 (ft:06:respawn:/sbin/sulogin).
    125 </para></listitem>
    126 
    127 <listitem><para>
    128 Chapter 7: Added comments to the boot scripts.
    129 </para></listitem>
    130 
    131 <listitem><para>
    132 Chapter 7: Modified the startup function in the rc script. No need to
    133 distinguish between files that have an .sh extension or not. Also
    134 removed the stty onlcr command. This one doesn't seem to be needed
    135 anymore either.
    136 </para></listitem>
    137 
    138 <listitem><para>
    139 Chapter 7: When something is killed using the killproc function in the
    140 functions script, sleep for 2 seconds before continuing to allow the
    141 kill to be completed (sometimes it takes a little while before all
    142 processes are terminated).
    143 </para></listitem>
    144 
    145 <listitem><para>
    146 Chapter 7: When the print_status function in the functions script is
    147 called without a parameter don't abort the entire calling script, just
    148 return an error value of 1. This function is non-essential so it won't
    149 really affect anything when it doesn't run properly.
    150 </para></listitem>
    151 
    152 <listitem><para>
    153 Chapter 7: Merged the umountfs script with the mountfs script.
    154 </para></listitem>
    155 
    156 <listitem><para>
    157 Chapter 7: Fixed minor bug in the statusproc function in the functions
    158 script. It read "$i is not running" - should be "$1 is not running".
    159 </para></listitem>
    160 
    161 <listitem><para>
    162 Chapter 7: The print_error_msg function in the rc script now asks the
    163 user to press a key before continueing. This way the user is able to
    164 write down certain information before it's potentially all lost.
    165 </para></listitem>
    166 
    167 <listitem><para>
    168 Chapter 7 + 9: Moved the boot script symlinks from including two digits
    169 to three digits. This makes it easier to add scripts before and after
    170 other scripts.
    171 </para></listitem>
    172 
    173 <listitem><para>
    174 Chapter 9: Split up the network boot scripts page over multiple pages
    175 like the way the boot scripts are arranged in chapter 7.
    176 </para></listitem>
    177 
    178 <listitem><para>
    179 Chapter 9: Added a GATEWAY check to the ethnet script. If the GATEWAY
    180 variable is set, the default gateway will be setup.
    181 </para></listitem>
    182 
    183 <listitem><para>
    184 Chapter 9: Added the restart option to the localnet and ethnet scripts.
    185 </para></listitem>
    186 
    187 <listitem><para>
    188 Chapter 9: Removed the ethnet K script when rebooting or halting. The
    189 halt and reboot programs are called with the -i parameter which shut
    190 down all network interfaces just before halt or reboot.
    191 </para></listitem>
    192 
    193 <listitem><para>
    194 Chapter 9: Removed --prefix=/usr from netkit-base. It doesn't do
    195 anything useful.
    196 </para></listitem>
    197 
    198 <listitem><para>
    199 Appendix A: Added a description for blockdev from the util-linux
    200 package.
    201 </para></listitem>
    202 
    203 <listitem><para>
    204 Appendix C: Updated the util-linux official download site link.
    205 </para></listitem>
    206 
    207 <listitem><para>
    208 Appendix C: Updated the man-pages official download site link.
    209 </para></listitem>
    210 
    211 </itemizedlist>
    212 
    213 <para>
    214 2.4.3 - November 21st, 2000
    215 </para>
    216 
    217 <itemizedlist>
    218 
    219 <listitem><para>
    220 The LFS FTP archive has been moved to a new server which is reachable
    221 under the name packages.linuxfromscratch.org. The reason for the move is
    222 that this new server sits on a link with a lot more bandwidth to spare.
    223 </para></listitem>
    224 
    225 <listitem><para>
    226 Instead of having the reader create files by running vim or some editor,
    227 the reader can now simply copy and paste a command that creates the file
    228 in the form of <quote>cat &gt; outputfile &lt;&lt; EOF</quote> followed
    229 by the text to put in the file and when a single line containing EOF is
    230 read by cat, it stops reading and writes the file (not including the
    231 EOF). This will be handy to put in scripts so you can make LFS
    232 installations fully automatic.
    233 </para></listitem>
    234 
    235 <listitem><para>
    236 Added explanations on the commands being executed to make it clearer why
    237 and what is being done to install the packages.
    238 </para></listitem>
    239 
    240 <listitem><para>
    241 Chapter 1: Updated the HTTP mirror list and added the FTP mirror list.
    242 This list is up-to-date as of November 14th, 2000.
    243 </para></listitem>
    244 
    245 <listitem><para>
    246 Chapter 5: In the Bash installation changed the --with-curses configure
    247 option to --with-ncurses. This seems to fix bash compilations on
    248 distribution that don't have ncurses properly installed.
    249 </para></listitem>
    250 
    251 <listitem><para>
    252 Chapter 5: Instead of having the user replace &lt;host&gt; in the gcc
    253 installation by whatever appears in $LFS/usr/lib/gcc-lib you can use a
    254 *. This won't be a problem because the * will expand in only one
    255 directory so the 'ln' command won't complain about it. This makes it
    256 easier to automate as well.
    257 </para></listitem>
    258 
    259 <listitem><para>
    260 Chapter 6: Mentioned the -e parameter to perl's Configure script that
    261 makes the script not ask you anything after it has created the config.sh
    262 script.
    263 </para></listitem>
    264 
    265 <listitem><para>
    266 Chapter 6: Removed the creation of the /usr/bin/install symlink - this
    267 symlink was already created earier in chapter 5
    268 </para></listitem>
    269 
    270 <listitem><para>
    271 Chapter 6: Added the creation of /var/log/lastlog where utmp, btmp and
    272 wtmp are created.
    273 </para></listitem>
    274 
    275 <listitem><para>
    276 Chapter 6: When the yacc script is created in the Bison section, execute
    277 a chmod 755 on it so we can execute the script.
    278 </para></listitem>
    279 
    280 <listitem><para>
    281 Chapter 6: Cosmetic change to the inittab file. Instead of using
    282 /dev/tty[1-6] as parameters to agetty we now use just 'dev[1-6]'. This
    283 generates a nicer output from commands like 'w'.
    284 </para></listitem>
    285 
    286 <listitem><para>
    287 Chapter 7: Modified all scripts to use absolute paths instead of relying
    288 on $PATH to be set.
    289 </para></listitem>
    290 
    291 <listitem><para>
    292 Chapter 7: In fstab changed <quote>none /proc proc defaults 0 0</quote>
    293 to <quote>proc /proc proc defaults 0 0</quote>. Upon mount problems you
    294 could get "none: device or resource busy" instead of "proc: device or
    295 resourced busy".
    296 </para></listitem>
    297 
    298 <listitem><para>
    299 Appendix C: Fixed a couple of broken links.
    300 </para></listitem>

    307 
    308 <itemizedlist>
    309 
    310 <listitem><para>
    311 Chapter 3: Newer verions were mentioned, but the links were still
    312 pointing to the older versions. Besides that I forgot to put the newer
    313 package versions in the ftp archive. Both have been fixed now.
    314 </para></listitem>
    315 
    316 <listitem><para>
    317 Chapter 5: Instead of looking at the filename of the C library files to
    318 determine which C library your starting Linux system uses we'll obtain
    319 it by running <quote>strings /lib/libc* | grep "release version"</quote>
    320 instead.
    321 </para></listitem>
    322 
    323 <listitem><para>
    324 Chapter 5+6: The proc file system must be mounted in chapter 5 before we
    325 enter the chroot'ed environment since after chroot the mount program
    326 will not be available yet.
    327 </para></listitem>
    328 
    329 <listitem><para>
    330 Chapter 6: Fixed a HTML bug in the GCC installation which caused a CR
    331 character to appear in certain browser.
    332 </para></listitem>
    333

    339 
    340 <itemizedlist>
    341 
    342 <listitem><para>
    343 Removed the bash prompts from the commands. This will make it much
    344 easier to copy &amp; paste the commands from the book onto the command
    345 line. Typing them all out is great for the first few times, but it tends
    346 to get tedious after a while. You can of course use scripts to do this
    347 all, but that's not the goal of this book. That's part of a different
    348 project (alfs.linuxfromscratch.org).
    349 </para></listitem>
    350 
    351 <listitem><para>
    352 Swapped chapters 8 and 9. Now we first reboot and then setup networking.
    353 If done the other way around, networking programs won't work unless both
    354 the normal system and the LFS system are going to run the same kernel
    355 version, which often is not the case. Swapping the chapters eliminates
    356 that possible problem.
    357 </para></listitem>
    358 
    359 <listitem><para>
    360 Chapter 3: All packages have been moved to download.linuxfromscratch.org and
    361 the links are updated accordingly. The official download sites for all
    362 the packages are listed in Appendix C.
    363 </para></listitem>
    364 
    365 <listitem><para>
    366 Chapter 5+6: Moved the execution of localedef after Glibc in chapter 5
    367 to after you entered chroot in chapter 6. It was a mistake (the only
    368 real bug in 2.4) to put it in chapter 5.
    369 </para></listitem>
    370 
    371 <listitem><para>
    372 Chapter 6: Installing Vim as the first program. In case you need to edit
    373 something you an editor available right away. This also caused a couple
    374 of other packages to be moved to satisfy depencies.
    375 </para></listitem>
    376 
    377 <listitem><para>
    378 Chapter 6: When we use sed to modify a Makefile file we now run make as
    379 <quote>make -f Makefile2</quote> instead of <quote>mv Makefile2 Makefile
    380 &amp;&amp; make</quote>.
    381 </para></listitem>
    382 
    383 <listitem><para>
    384 Chapter 6: Added the <quote>publickey: files</quote> line to the
    385 nsswitch.conf file. This is needed when you run a 2.4 kernel to login
    386 properly.
    387 </para></listitem>
    388 
    389 <listitem><para>
    390 Chapter 6: Added the /usr/bin/yacc script that runs bison with the -y
    391 switch to emulate yacc's output file name conventions. This is done
    392 because there are a few packages out there that rely on yacc and can't
    393 work with bison (yet).
    394 </para></listitem>
    395 
    396 <listitem><para>
    397 Chapter 6: Modified the /usr/sbin/makewhatis script after the
    398 installation of the man package. The /usr/sbin/makewhatis script needs
    399 the AWK= variable defined to /usr/bin/mawk.
    400 </para></listitem>
    401 
    402 <listitem><para>
    403 Chapter 7: Added the template script. This way you can easily add new
    404 bootscripts without having to write them from scratch.

    898 Changed the default mount point from /mnt/xxx to /mnt/lfs (where xxx used

    937 Chapter 6: Fixed the rc script. It now checks to see if the previous

    939 run level. Also, if a service is already started in the previous run
    940 level it won't attempt to start the service in the new run level again.
