They look better than "echo >>" and "sed -i". And I think an example
showing how to use groupadd/groupdel is good anyway. The format of
/etc/group is already shown in chapter 7.
Specifying --modversion with multiple packages just does not make sense.
The real problem here is it's erroring out even if the multiple
arguments are for the same package.

This will install dbus.service and dbus.socket into
/usr/lib/systemd/user. In a base LFS installation the systemd per-user
daemon is not usable at all, so they may seem useless. But if we
install them, we can start to use them once systemd is rebuilt with PAM
in BLFS (without rebuilding dbus).
Well, the analyzer failures are introduced by literally *my* Glibc
change [1] and I'll sort them out for GCC 14...
And the ASAN failures seem caused by the introduction of
__isoc23_strtol (the libsanitizer does not know to intercept it). I'll
test with LLVM once I reach it in BLFS (LLVM is the upstream of
libsanitizer) and make a bug report.
limits-exprparen.c also fails to me, it needs "ulimit -s 65536" instead
of "ulimit -s 32768" in my build but maybe it's caused by my custom
*FLAGS.

Well, I forgot to create the man pages tarball as root, so if we don't
use --no-same-owner the man pages will be owned by UID 1000 :(.
Instead of regenerating the tarball again let's just fix this in the
book.
Update udev-lfs tarball to remove obsolete
cdrom rules and references to ISDN devices.

This partially reverts commit 1053282e5f.
There is actually only one test suite in LFS build even with -k, but on
my complete system there are many test failures with "-k". I guess some
tests depend on non-LFS packages.
The text change is reverted, but the command change is preserved as
generally we should use -k for any make check command known to fail.
I've not bothered to write an explanation for --disable-crypt because it
will likely be the default of Glibc-2.38, then we may drop it from the
command lines.
Update the rationale for min-kernel in hostreqs. Add a note in
general.ent about the EOL of current min-kernel. Realign the
backslashes in glibc instructions.
Use "library name" (instead of "library version") for SONAME (for now).
And "conflicting locations" may not be a problem if the symbol is at two
locations but they are exactly same (or ABI compatible).
For the details see lfs-dev discussion.
The current word is still not perfect (we've not defined "the name of a
shared library" at all), so I guess we'll need to make a major revision
for the entire "upgrading issue with shared libraries" thing in the
future.
remap="configure" means it is for configuring the build before
running make (or ninja), not for configuring the system
after the package is installed. We don't have a special attribute
for that.
TODO: HWAsan needs Linux 6.4 (not released yet) and a recent Intel CPU.
So it the kernel and hardware support is available, we may see more
test failures. I'll try it out on my new system...
This reverts commit 01a8a15a96.
We don't list the versioned SONAME symlink for any shared libraries.
TODO: should we remove libelf-0.189.so from the list as well? It sounds
like "libz.so.1.2.13" which is not listed too.
The default /dev/kvm mode is 0666 and we consider it "not so safe".
Like Tim said: "I'm also authenticating to my system all the time and
don't do a chmod -R 777 / after every boot."
With this option, the /dev/kvm mode is set to 0660 and it's tagged
"uaccess" so systemd-logind will add an ACL entry for users logged-in
locally.
The thread functions are in POSIX.1c, not POSIX.1b.
Both POSIX.1b and POSIX.1c are named "extensions" (plural form). And
POSIX.1b is titled "Real-time" instead of "Realtime".

1. Declare UNIX98 PTY requirement in host system requirements and check
it in the script. All desktop or server distros should have it now,
but let's stop anyone from building on a embedded distro w/o UNIX98
PTY early...
2. Use Expect test suite as a guard against mishandled $LFS/dev/pts.
3. No need to test the basic function of Expect in Binutils anymore
because if ($LFS)/dev/pts is not good, the Expect test suite would
have failed.

"ext{234}" file systems. Clean up English idiom here and there.
Standardize the spelling of "file system"; unless it's part of a
command or something like that, it should be written as two words.
of installed programs. Added (link to setarch) to the five items that
link to setarch. Corrected erroneous description of swapoff. Clarified
some of the "short descriptions". Changed the imperative mood to the
indicative mood, and added an "s" to a couple of possessive nouns.

help screen doesn't match the man page. Also, there's an action

end" -- it's twp words, not one. Changed square brackets to parentheses;
square brackets should only be used to delimit editorial remarks. Removed
one definite article referring to the plural; "the" implies a single
object. Changed "amount" to "number". In English, an amount refers to
a continuous quantity, while a number refers to discrete objects (like
networking packetts). Added a qualifier in the description of "ip":
the list of commands is not exhaustive. Modified a few program
descriptons to improve consistency of style. Changed QOS and COS
to QoS and CoS after researching these abbreviations on the internet.
"Quality of Service" and "Class of Service" appear, to me, to be the
most common way of writing these phrases.
idiomatic. Clarified meaning of configure options. Made several minor
revisions in program descriptions to improve readability. Added a
little explanatory material. Changed imperative mood to indicative
mood where that was appropriate.
text and images. Patched English idiom. Added a little information
about Pinyin (Chinese spelled like English) and grap (an old Unix
command for creating graphs).
We are already using "MAJOR" and "MINOR" in OpenSSL, do the same here.
The semantic versioning documentation (https://semver.org/) always use
"patch level", not "Patch level". But let's explain it a little to
prevent puzzling people.
On wikipedia, "dlopen" redirects to "dynamic loading" and there is a
specific warning:
"Dynamically loaded library" redirects here. Not to be confused with
dynamically linked library.
pip3 -- the pip program processes both commands (e.g., install) and
options (e.g., --no-index). Expressed option / command descriptions
in the iindicative mood. The imperative mood should only be used to
tell the reader what to do, not in explanatory verbiage. Inserted
the definite article here and there. Corrected a misspelled instance
of the indefinite article: we don't say "an utility" because the
initial phoneme in "utility" is pronounced as YOO.
Inserted the definite article where idiom requires it. Added more
detail to an option description. Broke an extremely long paragraph
into three pieces; cleaned up English idiom and punctuation all the
way through this section. In "Short Descriptions", inserted periods
where appropriate, and clarified the description of python3, which
is a program, not a language.
appears once. Improved idiom ("as shown below"). "command line" is
two words; "front end" is two words. "Swiss Army" is a trademark;
it should be caputalized.
perfect tense when appropriate. Replace "dlopening" with "opening
dynamically linked libraries" ... "dlopen" may be a Linux command,
but that doesn't make it a verb in English.

Otherwise, As Xi has noticed, the password set for root at the end
of lfs may use the value 5000 for rounds, and not be changed, even
if later the number of rounds is increased.
names of packages. Clarified verbiage in re PIE & ASLR. Improved the
description of SSP, and tightened it up. Clarified the instructions
for running tests concurrently. Modified descriptions of tests that
fail. Patched up punctuation. Spelled "set up" correctly: "setup" is
a noun. The phrasal verb used here is spelled as two words. Use the
word "directives" to describe "#include" and similar preprocessor
instructions. Add periods to some otherwise complete sentences.
I was using the transitive verb "process" here, not the noun. Use
another word to avoid the ambiguity. Also add "and groups" because
there is also subgid alongside subuid.
sort-NaN-infloop no longer fails now, it seems covered up by PIE or SSP.
test-getlogin keeps failing in Bruce's build. Not sure how to reproduce
the failure deterministically.
verbiage. Used the subjunctive mood once. "Test suite" is two words, not
one. Patched some unidiomatic English. Used the plural "headers" when
discussing ELF objects. Used singular verbs to describe "gprofng", for
consistency with other items.
modifies the plural noun "libraries"; it must use a plural verb.
Clarified how many "configure" options Readline uses. Tightened the
prose, and used the definite article in lieu of the indefinite article,
because only one readline.pc file can possibly be the "correct" one.
We don't recommend customizing optimizations, but we use optimizations
provided by package default or release build mode.
Reword the paragraph so the people won't be puzzled once they see
"--enable-optimizations" in Python, or "--buildtype=release" (to prevent
unoptimized build) in BLFS meson commands.
Please try not to use the "replace" feature of the text editor blindly.
Appendix C of the GNU C Library Reference Manual clearly says:
'--disable-werror'
By default, the GNU C Library is built with '-Werror'. If you wish
to build without this option (for example, if building with a newer
version of GCC than this version of the GNU C Library was tested
with, so new warnings cause the build with '-Werror' to fail), you
can configure with '--disable-werror'.

We only need a one-line change in upstream fix (because we don't use
"make --shuffle"). Add it as a sed for both Chapter 5 and Chapter 8.
Note that the "minimal" sed would be '/MAEKFLAGS :=/s/r/ -r/'. I
included an additional ')' so it won't modify "-r" again to "- -r".
Tested "make" and "make check" on a x86_64 with -j8 and an arm64 with
-j24.
