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 '{}' ';'
