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.
It does not make too much sense to list GNAT but not GDC. They are for
same purpose (building optional languages with bootstrap from binary
requirement).
There are many packages using pkg-config (pkgconf actually) or systemd
(systemd revision only) in the configure stage but we've not documented
them yet.
- D-Bus uses pkgconf to detect systemd.
- E2fsprogs uses pkgconf to detect libblkid (in util-linux).
eudev (in sysv revision) and systemd (in systemd revision).
- IProute2 uses pkgconf to detect libcap and libelf.
- Man-DB uses pkgconf to detect libpipeline and systemd.
- Procps-ng uses pkgconf to detect ncurses and systemd (or elogind,
but it's an external dependency).
- Python uses pkgconf to detect libuuid (in util-linux from Ch 07),
zlib, bzip2, xz, and openssl (and some external dependencies).
- Systemd uses pkgconf to detect Zlib, Xz, etc.
- Util-linux uses ncurses and systemd (and some external dependencies)
Add all of them.
There are also several packages finding for pkg-config but only uses it
for external dependencies, for eg grep and vim. I've not added them here.
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.
Update to iana-etc-20230524.
Update to MarkupSafe-2.1.3 (Python Module)
Update to linux-6.3.5.
Update to openssl-3.1.1.
Update to meson-1.1.1.
Update to diffutils-3.10.
Update to bc-6.6.0.
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...
