These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0):
* 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.
* Chapter 5, gcc: change the title
* Chapter 5, gzip: don't pass --disable-nls - it has no function on
the gzip package
* Chapter 5, tar: remove prefix=$LFS/usr from the 'make install'
* 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
* Chapter 5, makedev: instead of sed "s/.../.../" put the quotations
marks inside the search reg ex (sed s/"..."/.../).
* 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)
* Chapter 5, bash: add note that when error occurs regarding
install-info (on Debian systems for example) it can be safely
ignored.
* Chapter 5, kernel: Remove the exessive explanations. Just the
commands in sequence like with any other package and explain below
in the "command explanations"
* 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...)
* Check if findutils dumps binaries in /usr/local/bin
* Try out latest shadow suite. If it fails with "nflg undefined" change
this in useradd.c : line 1768:
-if (! (nflg || gflg)) {
+if (!gflg) {
* 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
* Chapter 3: mention lfs-packages isn't for CVS
* Fix the static link problems some distro's are causing
* Clean out the ethnet script (for interface in $(ls
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* | grep -v ifcfg-lo)
do) needs some updating for example)
* Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
name'. After Glibc installation we could modify the PS1 (export
PS1=newvalues) and test that way if glibc is working properly. This
saves us the having to exit and re-end chroot environtment. Another
idea is to run 'id' or 'whoami' after Glibc installation and check if
it's able to find a matching username with root's id.
* Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
* e2fsprogs apparently needs ldconfig. Check if there are other
packages before e2fsprogs which use ldconfig when it's present
* Mention more hints through out the books (like BSD hint before
staring with chapter 7, devfs hint before running MAKEDEV, etc)
* Fix the layout of intel/chapter7/usage.xml
* Consider ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/
to replace console-tools/console-data
* Try new procps install:
make OPT="$CFLAGS" INCDIRS='-I/usr/include -I.' XSCPT='' install
* When installing Glibc in chapter 6 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 '{}' ';'
