| * Rewrote a cumbersome sentence to make it clearer. Capitalized theDavid Bryant2022-11-221-35/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* shadow: update desc of libsubidXi Ruoyao2022-11-231-1/+1
| | | | | | 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.
* shadow: add spaces around —Xi Ruoyao2022-11-231-1/+1
| | | | IMO it makes the rendering prettier.
* shadow: fix (clarify?) the consequence of missing "users" groupXi Ruoyao2022-11-231-1/+1
| | | | | To me "has been created" is not correct. Or maybe it's some advanced usage of English I don't understand...
* coreutils: update test failureXi Ruoyao2022-11-221-5/+4
| | | | | | | 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.
* wheel: build the wheel archive of wheel itselfXi Ruoyao2022-11-221-10/+38
| | | | | This avoids running "python3 setup.py install" (indirectly), which may not work correctly in the future with Python 3.12.
* Straighten out capitalization, correct a few grammatical errors,David Bryant2022-11-215-57/+56
| | | | | improve English idiom, clarify a few things, remove superfluous verbiage, etc.
* Merrriam-Webster says "alongside" is one word. Clarified some muddledDavid Bryant2022-11-181-9/+9
| | | | | | | 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.
* Rectify a redundancy/explain how to say tcl. Use correct spelling forDavid Bryant2022-11-181-5/+5
| | | | | the Binutils package. Patch up an ungrammatical sentence (the plural subject "instructions" requires pural verbs).
* Clarify the description of the -G option.David Bryant2022-11-181-1/+1
|
* Corrected a grammatical error: the subordinate clause "that offers ..."David Bryant2022-11-181-4/+4
| | | | | | | 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.
* chapter08: fix minor grammar issuesXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-3/+3
|
* pkgmgt: reword the description of cfg files handlingXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-2/+3
| | | | Let's not miss the point...
* chapter08: reword description of compiler optimizationsXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-6/+14
| | | | | | | | | 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.
* glibc: Decapitalize nsswitch.confXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-1/+1
| | | | | In UNIX file names are case-sensitive. You cannot capitialize it even if it appears in a title.
* glibc: it should be --disable-werror, not --disable-WerrorXi Ruoyao2022-11-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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'.
* Correctd the spelling of "Werror" -- it's "-Werror" in GCC, butDavid Bryant2022-11-171-2/+2
| | | | | it's "--disable-error" in Glibc. Thanks to Thomas Trepl for spotting my mistake.

* Package updates and a fix.Bruce Dubbs2022-11-112-8/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix make-4.4 bug. Update to wheel-0.38.4 (Python Module). Update to texinfo-7.0. Update to sysvinit-3.05. Update to shadow-4.13. Update to sed-4.9. Update to meson-0.64.0. Update to linux-6.0.7. Update to elfutils-0.188. Update to bc-6.1.1.
* systemd: fix and simply the command to disable systemd-sysupdateXi Ruoyao2022-11-041-7/+3
| | | | | | | "systemd disable" seems a typo... And we don't need the ".timer" suffix because these .service units are tied to the .timer units.
* Update to systemd-252.Douglas R. Reno2022-11-031-0/+6

* grub: copy the "no tuning" warning from BLFSXi Ruoyao2022-11-031-0/+11
| | | | It's reported that a GRUB build with CFLAGS=-O2 is broken.
* glibc: fix parallel build issue with make-4.4Xi Ruoyao2022-11-011-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Link: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=2d7ed98add14
* Package updates.Bruce Dubbs2022-10-311-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update to iana-etc-20221025. Update to tzdata-2022f. Update to Python3-3.11.0. Update to procps-ng-4.0.1. Update to man-pages-6.01. Update to man-db-2.11.0. Update to make-4.4. Update to linux-6.0.6. Update to libffi-3.4.4. Update to inetutils-2.4. Update to expat-2.5.0. Note: I had to run glibc in Chapter 8 at -j1 to avoid an apparant race condition. With a little more investigation I may be able to find a better solution.
* man-pages: update the number of provided pages for 6.00Xi Ruoyao2022-10-181-1/+1
| | | | | $ find -name '*.[0-9]' | wc -l 2438

Update to gettext-0.21.1. Update to iproute2-6.0.0. Update to meson-0.63.3. Update to Python-3.10.8. Update to xz-5.2.7. Update to tzdata-2022e. Update to linux-6.0.1. Update to dbus-1.14.4.
* binutils: add a command to list failed testsXi Ruoyao2022-10-051-0/+4
|
* glibc: update total test countXi Ruoyao2022-10-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I have: 2 FAIL 5092 PASS 67 UNSUPPORTED 16 XFAIL 4 XPASS Let's not be too precise (or we'll need to explain the meaning of "UNSUPPORTED"). IMO "over 5000" is fine (until we get 5500 tests).
* binutils: don't wrap "gold" in <command>Xi Ruoyao2022-10-031-1/+1
| | | | | "gold" is not an installed program (it's named "ld.gold"). So IMO it's not proper to use <command>.
* binutils: gas tests fail because race conditionXi Ruoyao2022-10-031-2/+11
| | | | Again, I sincerely wish libtool can suffer a painful death.

* libelf: add a x86 specific test failureXi Ruoyao2022-09-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | It's caused by a minor GAS issue, which should be fixed in binutils-2.40. See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29450 and https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29451.
* binutils: document a test failureXi Ruoyao2022-09-231-9/+9
| | | | It happens on both x86_64 and aarch64.
* TyposBruce Dubbs2022-09-191-1/+1
|
* cleanup: rephrase description for .la removalXi Ruoyao2022-09-191-4/+4
| | | | | | Don't emphasis "static library" at all, to prevent anyone from thinking "I need to use static libraries so I'll keep these .la files". And warn that .la files are known to break BLFS packages.
* cleanup: use a stronger tone for removing la filesXi Ruoyao2022-09-191-2/+2
|
* gawk: remove duplicated "-i" in a sed commandXi Ruoyao2022-09-171-1/+1
|
* Revert "bash: document egrep warnings in tests"Xi Ruoyao2022-09-151-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 395eb462ba1fc1835ec9b6018f4427f41d78fa00. Not needed as grep is "patched". Note that I'm still against "patching" grep. All the complains for the warnings are from only several people and IMO the complains are not valid. But as bdubbs has made the decision let's keep it for now and review after some time...

* groff: add back "build the package"Xi Ruoyao2022-09-141-0/+2
| | | | It was removed unintentionally during the removal of -j1...
