These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0): * Consider ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/ to replace console-tools/console-data * Try new procps install: make OPT="$CFLAGS" INCDIRS='-I/usr/include -I.' XSCPT='' install * When installing Glibc in chapter 6 glibc-build/login/pt_chown isn't installed (we'll copy manually for now) and the mtrace program isn't build. Find out why. * Incorporate LFS FAQ in the book * Full dependency list. This list isn't a list of "package a depends on package b", but a list of "package a depends on b and c from package d" * Bring the book up to speed with the current FHS specs. * Mention security patches that can be applied to packages. * Don't run lilo from inside chroot anymore. This causes severe problems sometimes including LILO not bootstrapping properly. * Bring back the PPC book (recreate from scratch using current intel book) using Jesse McCrosky's notes at http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-notes.txt and the patch to the 'patch' package at: http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-patch.patch * Add descriptions what the patches do we use (like the console-tools and gzip patches) * Try out Slackware's MAKEDEV script and see if it's any better than the currently used one. A copy can be found at http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/Slackware-MAKEDEV * Mention LFS should be installed as user root * Add netkit-base and net-tools to Appendix A. * Suggest using this command to strip debug symbols after you finish chapter 6: find $LFS -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
