  25. appendix b --&gt; appendix c in order to create room for the dependency
  26. information to go into appendix b.</para></listitem>
  27. <listitem><para>After much testing and discussing, it's been decided to
  28. downgrade to gcc-2.95.3 for the time being, until problems with the new
  29. gcc-3.0 version have been fixed.</para></listitem>
  30. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: sed commands for bzip2 and mawk static
  31. compiles have been replaced with a simpler flag to gcc.</para></listitem>
  32. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: A sed for fileutils-4.1 static has been added to
  33. avoid Segmentation Fault problems on glibc-2.2.3 systems.</para></listitem>
  34. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Binutils doens't require us passing -e to
  35. make in order for LDFLAGS=-static to work properly.</para></listitem>
  36. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: GCC isn't statically linked anymore by using
  37. make -e LDFLAGS=-static, but by make BOOT_LDFLAGS=-static.</para></listitem>
  38. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Removed kernel patch for gcc-3.0
  39. compilation</para></listitem>

  45. files instead of -y in order to be compatible with next tar release. Also
  46. renamed patch file to tar-1.13.patch</para></listitem>
  47. <listitem><para>Chapters 5 &amp; 6: Added a new patch for gcc-2.95.3
  48. which fixes various problems such as the weak symbol
  49. bug.</para></listitem>
  50. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Bzip2 and shadowutils static libraries
  51. are now put in /usr/lib instead of /lib. There are now also links
  52. from /usr/lib to their dynamic libraries in /lib to enable the linker to
  53. still find the dynamic versions.</para></listitem>
  54. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: ncurses patch totally
  55. removed. Static libraries now moved to /usr/lib and libcurses.a symlink
  56. created manually. A symlink is also created from /usr/lib to the
  57. dynamic libraries in /lib so that the linker still sees them.</para></listitem>
  58. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Yacc script in bison page now uses exec bison

  73. /bin/hostname.</para></listitem>
  74. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: After installing Glibc, run exec /bin/bash
  75. --login instead of exiting and re-entering the chroot'ed
  76. environment.</para></listitem>
  77. <listitem><para>Chapter 7: Changed $* into "$@" in the functions and rc
  78. scripts. "$@" allows usage of quoted arguments with blanks.</para></listitem>
  79. <listitem><para>Chapter 7: Added print_error_msg from the rcS script as
  80. it appears in the rc script as well.</para></listitem>
  81. </itemizedlist>
  82. <para>3.0-pre4 - June 22nd, 2001</para>
  83. <itemizedlist>

  85. alphabetically.</para></listitem>
  86. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Moved the installations of ed and
  87. patch into their alphabetical positions.</para></listitem>

  89. the functions script. When you attemp to start a service that's
  90. already running or stop a service that's not running, it'll not
  91. print FAILED anymore but [ ATTN ] along with "Already running"
  92. or "Not running".</para></listitem>
  93. <listitem><para>Chapter 9: Renamed the network-scripts
  94. directory in nic-config.</para></listitem>
  95. </itemizedlist>
  96. <para>3.0-pre3 - May 12th, 2001</para>
  97. <itemizedlist>
  98. <listitem><para>Added numerous FHS compliance notes. These
  99. instructions can be followed if one wishes to build a fully
  100. FHS-compliant system.</para></listitem>
  101. <listitem><para>Chapter 4: Updated the directory list to be more
  102. FHS compliant. Mainly this meant adding the opt directories and
  103. removing /usr/tmp and /usr/local/tmp</para></listitem>
  104. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: We now copy the kernel include directories
  105. instead of linking to them. This is theoretically safer if we plan on
  106. upgrading the kernel.</para></listitem>
  107. <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Removed fileutils-patch. After upgrading
  108. to fileutils-4.1 the patch isn't needed anymore.</para></listitem>
  109. <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Put back the instructions on how to
  110. copy/remove the old NSS library files, in case the original distribution

  114. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Removed the installation of a static
  115. gettext.</para></listitem>
  116. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed bin86's installation from
  117. "make PREFIX=/usr install" to "make INSTALL_OPTS="-m 755"
  118. PREFIX=/usr install". This will prevent install from invoking strip -s
  119. on the files. This fails because a couple of the installed files are
  120. shell scripts rather than programs, so they can't be stripped.</para></listitem>
  121. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Removed the ld.so section since we
  122. only used the man pages and replaced it with a patch to man-pages.</para></listitem>
  123. <listitem><para>Chapter 7+8: Moved the creation of /etc/fstab
  124. to chapter 8.</para></listitem>
  125. <listitem><para>Appendix A: Added missing descriptions of frcode,
  126. code and bigram in the findutils-4.1 package.</para></listitem>
  127. </itemizedlist>
  128. <para>3.0-pre2 - April 14th, 2001</para>
  129. <itemizedlist>
  130. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Simplified ln commands.</para></listitem>
  131. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Removed prefix=$LFS/usr from tar's
  132. make install.</para></listitem>
  133. <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Removed --disable-nls from configuration
  134. of programs that don't need it (bash, diffutils, gzip, sed,
  135. m4).</para></listitem>
  136. <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Changed from "cd dir &amp;&amp; make"
  137. to "make -C dir" (gettext-static, sysvinit).</para></listitem>
  138. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Beautified the static link process
  139. for mawk.</para></listitem>
  140. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Changed the links we create during
  141. gcc-installation to $LFS/usr/bin/cpp.</para></listitem>
  142. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed the procps installation
  143. from sed'ing to an easier way.</para></listitem>
  144. <listitem><para> Chapter 6: Changed all "rm file &amp;&amp; ln -s dest
  145. file" into "ln -sf file" (in glibc, bzip2 and gzip
  146. installations).</para></listitem>
  147. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Added a sed to fix a problem during
  148. glibc-installation. pt_chown can not be installed setuid root,
  149. because "root" is not known by glibc yet (kind of hen and
  150. egg-problem).</para></listitem>
  151. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed consoledata/tools to kbd, which
  152. is more actively developed, and less of a pain to install.</para></listitem>
  153. <listitem><para>Appendix A: Added the description of the Netkit-base
  154. and Net-tools packages.</para></listitem>
  155. </itemizedlist>
  156. <para>3.0-pre1 - February 27th, 2001</para>
  157. <itemizedlist>
  158. <listitem><para>Converted the SGML source to XML.</para></listitem>
  159. <listitem><para>Chapter 4: Tell the user to use cfdisk rather than
  160. fdisk. The fdisk man page recommends cfdisk over fdisk because
  161. it's more stable.</para></listitem>
  162. <listitem><para>Chapter 4: Changed the wording to make it more general
  163. as ext2 no longer is the only used file system. Reiser for example is
  164. often used too now.</para></listitem>
  165. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Added static mawk, texinfo and partially
  166. gettext to faciliate the move of Glibc from Chapter 5
  167. to Chapter 6.</para></listitem>
  168. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Added Makedev to chapter 5. We don't create
  169. the device files here, only copy the MAKEDEV script and make a temp
  170. copy which will be used to create device files. This second file
  171. (MAKEDEV-temp) doesn't contain user names and group names but only user
  172. id's and group id's. We need a few device files to get Glibc installed,
  173. but before GLibc is installed user and group names are not recognized yet;
  174. only the numeric id's. This requires a slightly modified MAKEDEV script
  175. which will be generated by patching the original one. This patching is done
  176. here in chapter 5. Also, fixed the explanations on both
  177. makedev installations.</para></listitem>
  178. <listitem><para>Chapter 5: Recommended to install all the software
  179. while logged in (or su'ed to) user root.</para></listitem>
  180. <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Added the fileutils-4.0 patch which is
  181. needed to compile the fileutils package on Glibc-2.2 based systems
  182. (such as the upcoming LFS-3.0 system).</para></listitem>
  183. <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Upgraded from gcc-2.95.2 to
  184. gcc-2.95.2.1</para></listitem>
  185. <listitem><para>Chapter 5+6: Moved Glibc from chapter 5 to
  186. chapter 6</para></listitem>
  187. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed libexecdir=/usr/bin in fileutils
  188. to libexecdir=/bin</para></listitem>
  189. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Updated Glibc installation instructions.
  190. 'configparms' file creation has been deleted. No need to pick a compiler
  191. (either distro's native or the /usr/local/gcc2952/bin/gcc one);
  192. we're in chroot now so we'll use the one we have</para></listitem>
  193. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Only copy the man pages from the
  194. ld.so package. We don't need the ldconfig and ldd programs anymore;
  195. Glibc-2.2.1 comes with good working versions.</para></listitem>
  196. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Added the creation of the lex symlink
  197. to the flex installation.</para></listitem>
  198. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Changed $* into "$@" in the yacc script
  199. during bison's installation. "$@" allows usage of quoted arguments
  200. with blanks. </para></listitem>
  201. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Fixed the man page installation during
  202. console-tools' installation.</para></listitem>
  203. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: When entering chroot the $TERM variable
  204. inside chroot is set properly. This is accomplished by: chroot ...
  205. -i HOME=/root TERM=$TERM...</para></listitem>
  206. <listitem><para>Chapter 6: Merged the different sulogin lines from
  207. the inittab file into one line.</para></listitem>
  208. <listitem><para>Chapter 7: Fixed the delays in the killproc function
  209. in the functions script. Now after kill, first check PIDs, then
  210. sleep 2 if needed. More details can be read in the comments
  211. in the script itself.</para></listitem>
  212. <listitem><para>Chapter 7: Added the explanation how the runlevels
  213. and boot process works when using the LFS scripts.</para></listitem>
  214. <listitem><para>Chapter 10: Added this chapter. It contains "thanks
  215. and good luck"notes and suggest creating the /etc/lfs-&version;
  216. file</para></listitem>
