MAKEDEV-1.3.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>August 27th 2001 [gerard]: Added dependency lists for
all installed packages. You now can see which programs from which
packages you need in order to compile and install a
package.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>August 27th 2001 [markh]: After a discussion on #lfs,
we've downgraded the book to linux-2.4.8 due to performance problems
with 2.4.9.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>August 26th 2001 [markh]: Moved appendix c --&gt; appendix d and
appendix b --&gt; appendix c in order to create room for the dependency
information to go into appendix b.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>After much testing and discussing, it's been decided to
downgrade to gcc-2.95.3 for the time being, until problems with the new
gcc-3.0 version have been fixed.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: sed commands for bzip2 and mawk static
compiles have been replaced with a simpler flag to gcc.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: A sed for fileutils-4.1 static has been added to
avoid Segmentation Fault problems on glibc-2.2.3 systems.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Binutils doens't require us passing -e to
make in order for LDFLAGS=-static to work properly.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: GCC isn't statically linked anymore by using
make -e LDFLAGS=-static, but by make BOOT_LDFLAGS=-static.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Removed kernel patch for gcc-3.0
compilation</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Added gcc-patch to fix re_max_failure
compile problems</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Added missing chown root.root
$LFS/usr/include/linux to kernel installation </para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5 &amp; 6: Changed tar patch to use -j for bzip2
files instead of -y in order to be compatible with next tar release. Also
renamed patch file to tar-1.13.patch</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapters 5 &amp; 6: Added a new patch for gcc-2.95.3
which fixes various problems such as the weak symbol
bug.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Bzip2 and shadowutils static libraries
are now put in /usr/lib instead of /lib. There are now also links
from /usr/lib to their dynamic libraries in /lib to enable the linker to
still find the dynamic versions.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: ncurses patch totally
removed. Static libraries now moved to /usr/lib and libcurses.a symlink
created manually. A symlink is also created from /usr/lib to the
dynamic libraries in /lib so that the linker still sees them.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Yacc script in bison page now uses exec bison
which replaces the shell.</para></listitem>

--login instead of exiting and re-entering the chroot'ed
environment.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 7: Changed $* into "$@" in the functions and rc
scripts. "$@" allows usage of quoted arguments with blanks.</para></listitem>

</itemizedlist>
<para>3.0-pre4 - June 22nd, 2001</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Reordered the installations
alphabetically.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Moved the installations of ed and
patch into their alphabetical positions.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 7: Added [ ATTN ] warning message to
the functions script. When you attemp to start a service that's
already running or stop a service that's not running, it'll not
print FAILED anymore but [ ATTN ] along with "Already running"
or "Not running".</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 9: Renamed the network-scripts
directory in nic-config.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>3.0-pre3 - May 12th, 2001</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Added numerous FHS compliance notes. These
instructions can be followed if one wishes to build a fully
FHS-compliant system.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 4: Updated the directory list to be more
FHS compliant. Mainly this meant adding the opt directories and
removing /usr/tmp and /usr/local/tmp</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: We now copy the kernel include directories
instead of linking to them. This is theoretically safer if we plan on
upgrading the kernel.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Removed fileutils-patch. After upgrading
to fileutils-4.1 the patch isn't needed anymore.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Put back the instructions on how to
copy/remove the old NSS library files, in case the original distribution
uses glibc-2.0.x.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Added the notice about an old version
of install-info.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Removed the installation of a static
gettext.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed bin86's installation from
"make PREFIX=/usr install" to "make INSTALL_OPTS="-m 755"
PREFIX=/usr install". This will prevent install from invoking strip -s
on the files. This fails because a couple of the installed files are
shell scripts rather than programs, so they can't be stripped.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Removed the ld.so section since we
only used the man pages and replaced it with a patch to man-pages.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 7+8: Moved the creation of /etc/fstab
to chapter 8.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Appendix A: Added missing descriptions of frcode,
code and bigram in the findutils-4.1 package.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>3.0-pre2 - April 14th, 2001</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Simplified ln commands.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Removed prefix=$LFS/usr from tar's
make install.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Removed --disable-nls from configuration
of programs that don't need it (bash, diffutils, gzip, sed,
m4).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Changed from "cd dir &amp;&amp; make"
to "make -C dir" (gettext-static, sysvinit).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Beautified the static link process
for mawk.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Changed the links we create during
gcc-installation to $LFS/usr/bin/cpp.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed the procps installation
from sed'ing to an easier way.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para> Chapter 6: Changed all "rm file &amp;&amp; ln -s dest
file" into "ln -sf file" (in glibc, bzip2 and gzip
installations).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Added a sed to fix a problem during
glibc-installation. pt_chown can not be installed setuid root,
because "root" is not known by glibc yet (kind of hen and
egg-problem).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed consoledata/tools to kbd, which
is more actively developed, and less of a pain to install.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Appendix A: Added the description of the Netkit-base
and Net-tools packages.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>3.0-pre1 - February 27th, 2001</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Converted the SGML source to XML.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 4: Tell the user to use cfdisk rather than
fdisk. The fdisk man page recommends cfdisk over fdisk because
it's more stable.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 4: Changed the wording to make it more general
as ext2 no longer is the only used file system. Reiser for example is
often used too now.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Added static mawk, texinfo and partially
gettext to faciliate the move of Glibc from Chapter 5
to Chapter 6.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Added Makedev to chapter 5. We don't create
the device files here, only copy the MAKEDEV script and make a temp
copy which will be used to create device files. This second file
(MAKEDEV-temp) doesn't contain user names and group names but only user
id's and group id's. We need a few device files to get Glibc installed,
but before GLibc is installed user and group names are not recognized yet;
only the numeric id's. This requires a slightly modified MAKEDEV script
which will be generated by patching the original one. This patching is done
here in chapter 5. Also, fixed the explanations on both
makedev installations.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5: Recommended to install all the software
while logged in (or su'ed to) user root.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Added the fileutils-4.0 patch which is
needed to compile the fileutils package on Glibc-2.2 based systems
(such as the upcoming LFS-3.0 system).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Upgraded from gcc-2.95.2 to
gcc-2.95.2.1</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Moved Glibc from chapter 5 to
chapter 6</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed libexecdir=/usr/bin in fileutils
to libexecdir=/bin</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Updated Glibc installation instructions.
'configparms' file creation has been deleted. No need to pick a compiler
(either distro's native or the /usr/local/gcc2952/bin/gcc one);
we're in chroot now so we'll use the one we have</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Only copy the man pages from the
ld.so package. We don't need the ldconfig and ldd programs anymore;
Glibc-2.2.1 comes with good working versions.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Added the creation of the lex symlink
to the flex installation.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed $* into "$@" in the yacc script
during bison's installation. "$@" allows usage of quoted arguments
with blanks. </para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Fixed the man page installation during
console-tools' installation.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: When entering chroot the $TERM variable
inside chroot is set properly. This is accomplished by: chroot ...
-i HOME=/root TERM=$TERM...</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 6: Merged the different sulogin lines from
the inittab file into one line.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 7: Fixed the delays in the killproc function
in the functions script. Now after kill, first check PIDs, then
sleep 2 if needed. More details can be read in the comments
in the script itself.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 7: Added the explanation how the runlevels
and boot process works when using the LFS scripts.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Chapter 10: Added this chapter. It contains "thanks
and good luck"notes and suggest creating the /etc/lfs-&version;
file</para></listitem>
