These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0):
* e2fsprogs apparently needs ldconfig. Check if there are other
packages before e2fsprogs which use ldconfig when it's present
* Mention more hints through out the books (like BSD hint before
staring with chapter 7, devfs hint before running MAKEDEV, etc)
* Fix the layout of intel/chapter7/usage.xml
* 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
* 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 '{}' ';'
