These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0):
|
|
|
|
1) second chroot command, chapter 6 glibc, fix up -> must by identical
|
|
to first chroot command in chapter 6
|
|
|
|
2) Chapter 5 fileutils, gcc, linux: instead of for example:
|
|
ln -s ../../bin/install install
|
|
change it to
|
|
ln -s ../../bin/install
|
|
This just shortens the command a bit and it looks better.
|
|
|
|
3) Chapter 5, gcc: change the title
|
|
|
|
4) Chapter 5, gzip: don't pass --disable-nls - it has no function on
|
|
the gzip package
|
|
|
|
5) Chapter 5, tar: remove prefix=$LFS/usr from the 'make install'
|
|
|
|
6) Chapter 5, mawk: instead of putting -static in CFLAGS which is sloppy
|
|
sed the Makefile to add an LDFLAGS variable similar to what we do
|
|
with bzip2 in chapter 5
|
|
|
|
7) Chapter 5, makedev: instead of sed "s/.../.../" put the quotations
|
|
marks inside the search reg ex (sed s/"..."/.../).
|
|
|
|
8) Chapter 5, makedev: cd to $LFS/dev first, then cp to makedev-temp and
|
|
patch it.
|
|
|
|
9) Chapter 6, glibc: after copying pt_chown set mode 4755 on it (Glibc
|
|
doesn't do this because it failed to copy pt_chown. It tried to chown
|
|
root it which failed because glibc wasn't fully installed yet)
|
|
|
|
10) Chapter 5, bash: add note that when error occurs regarding
|
|
install-info (on Debian systems for example) it can be safely
|
|
ignored.
|
|
|
|
11) Chapter 5, kernel: Remove the exessive explanations. Just the
|
|
commands in sequence like with any other package and explain below
|
|
in the "command explanations"
|
|
|
|
12) Chapter 5, bash: when the 'install-info' error corrurs on Debian
|
|
systems, check if this affects && (the message is Error 2 (ignored)
|
|
but does that mean the return value is set to 0 as well...)
|
|
|
|
13) Check if findutils dumps binaries in /usr/local/bin
|
|
|
|
14) Try out latest shadow suite. If it fails with "nflg undefined" change
|
|
this in useradd.c : line 1768:
|
|
-if (! (nflg || gflg)) {
|
|
+if (!gflg) {
|
|
|
|
15) Make a note that during the first reboot an error from sysklogd is
|
|
normal due to missing /etc/services|protocols files which are
|
|
installed when netkit-base is installed later on in chapter 9
|
|
|
|
16) Chapter 3: mention lfs-packages isn't for CVS
|
|
|
|
17) Fix the static link problems some distro's are causing
|
|
|
|
18) Clean out the ethnet script (for interface in $(ls
|
|
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* | grep -v ifcfg-lo)
|
|
do) needs some updating for example)
|
|
|
|
19) Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
|
|
name'. After Glibc installation we could modify the PS1 (export
|
|
PS1=newvalues) and test that way if glibc is working properly. This
|
|
saves us the having to exit and re-end chroot environtment. Another
|
|
idea is to run 'id' or 'whoami' after Glibc installation and check if
|
|
it's able to find a matching username with root's id.
|
|
|
|
20) Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
|
|
|
|
21) e2fsprogs apparently needs ldconfig. Check if there are other
|
|
packages before e2fsprogs which use ldconfig when it's present
|
|
|
|
22) Mention more hints through out the books (like BSD hint before
|
|
staring with chapter 7, devfs hint before running MAKEDEV, etc)
|
|
|
|
23) Fix the layout of intel/chapter7/usage.xml
|
|
|
|
24) Consider ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/
|
|
to replace console-tools/console-data
|
|
|
|
25) Try new procps install:
|
|
make OPT="$CFLAGS" INCDIRS='-I/usr/include -I.' XSCPT='' install
|
|
26) When installing Glibc in chapter 6 the mtrace program isn't
|
|
build. Find out why.
|
|
|
|
27) Incorporate LFS FAQ in the book
|
|
|
|
28) 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"
|
|
|
|
29) Bring the book up to speed with the current FHS specs.
|
|
|
|
30) Mention security patches that can be applied to packages.
|
|
|
|
31) Don't run lilo from inside chroot anymore. This causes severe problems
|
|
sometimes including LILO not bootstrapping properly.
|
|
|
|
32) 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
|
|
|
|
33) Add descriptions what the patches do we use (like the console-tools and
|
|
gzip patches)
|
|
|
|
34) 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
|
|
|
|
35) Add netkit-base and net-tools to Appendix A.
|
|
|
|
36) Suggest using this command to strip debug symbols after you finish
|
|
chapter 6: find $LFS -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
|
