<listitem><para>May 21st, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Glibc:
Don't bother doing the 'exec /stage1/bin/bash' stuff, it doesn't do anything
now that we use PLFS.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 21st, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 &amp; 06 - Installing
Coreutils: Only test the non-root stuff in Chapter 05, but test everything
in Chapter 06.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 21st, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Expect:

<listitem><para>May 13th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Basic Network:

to make perl's hostname check work.</para></listitem>

Updated bug syntax. Added "make check/test" where necessary in Chapter

in /stage1/bin do the job just fine.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 13th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Shadow:
touch the /usr/bin/passwd file before installation. Not doing so results in
Shadow thinking passwd will be in /bin/passwd.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 13th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Procps:
Remove the /lib/libproc.so symlink. No package outside of Procps itself
uses this library, and none should.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 13th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Net-tools:
Run "make config" before doing make. Fixes bugs #462 and
#497.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 13th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Ncurses: Added the
vsscanf patch.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 12th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Gzip: Removed
<userinput>make check</userinput>. It doesn't do
anything.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Texinfo:
Don't install the texmf data. It's not used by anything.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 &amp; 06 - Installing
Ncurses: In Chapter 6, symlink creation has been updated to include
libcurses.*, and libncurses++.a has it's properties changed to 644.
Chapter 5 doesn't need any libcurses.* so those are removed.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 12th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Basic Network: Added
$(hostname) to /etc/hosts, without it Perl's hostname test doesn't
pass.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 12th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Installing GCC:
Don't try to remove /usr/include/libiberty.h. It isn't installed in the
first place.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Upgraded to findutils-4.1.7,
gzip-1.3.5, and tar-1.13.25.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Perl:
Add extra commands to build certain modules into Perl. This is to
accomadate the Coreutils "make check". Partially fixes bug #528.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Gzip:
Nothing in Chapter 6 checks for or uses the uncompress command,
therefore we shouldn't create it.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing Bzip2:
Running "make" implies "make check", therefore there is no reason
whatsoever for us to run it manually.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 12th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 05 - Installing
Lfs-Utils: Removed. The only package that checks for mktemp before it is
installed is GCC, and that's only for gccbug.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC-2.95.3: Added
--enable-threads=posix as well to complete the C++
addition.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC-2.95.3: Added
--enable-languages=c,c++ to fix that gcc's version bug with regards to
-Wreturn-type. Fixes bug #525</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Bash: Removed the
--without-bash-malloc configure option.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [gerard]: Updated to

#515.</para></listitem>

This adds two files needed for proper networking configuration.</para></listitem>

Inetutils 1.4.2. Fixes bug #490.</para></listitem>

#493.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Ncurses:

No more weirdness here.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Procps:
Removed XSCPT="" cruft and it's corresponding paragraph. This stuff
isn't needed anymore.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Ncurses:
Pass --without-debug to the configure script. It seems to have gotten
lost at some point.</para></listitem>

Bzip2, Installing Zlib: Modified build commands per bug #524.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Glibc:
Install the linuxthreads man pages, too. This got lost somewhere.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Grep:
Added --with-included-regex to prevent Grep from using Glibc's somewhat
bugged regex.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Coreutils:
Fix some functionality of the uname command with a patch.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Net-tools:
Just do regular old "make install" instead of "make update". The latter
works fine now.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing GCC:
After installation, remove /usr/include/libiberty.h. It is not used
outside of the GCC build tree.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Upgraded to Bash 2.05b and
added its patch.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Zlib:

<listitem><para>May 11th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Configuring system
components: Moved the creation of the btmp, wtmp, lastlog and utmp to
just before Shadow, so that they are detected at their proper locations.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Automake:
Run "make" before installing. This is needed now with the newer releases
of Automake.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Vim:
Removed the patch. It hasn't been required since GCC 3.2.1.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Creating the mtab
file: Removed. Mounting /proc has the side effect of creating /etc/mtab
for us.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Make:
Removed modification of /usr/bin/make file. It is no longer mistakenly
installed with strange ownership or permissions.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing Glibc:
Made /etc/localtime a file instead of a symlink. The symlink method breaks
on systems where /usr is a separate partition.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [winkie]: Chapter 06 - Installing E2fsprogs:
Removed install-info commands for e2fsprogs. The "make install" target
handles this for us.</para></listitem>

variables where they are not essential (so, not including static binutils,
gcc and compiling zlib with -fPIC).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Binutils (pass1,
pass2, locking glibc and adjusting toolchain): Change tooldir to /stage1
(likewise we use tooldir=/usr in chapter 6).</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chaper 05 - Kernel headers:
Removed the usage of <userinput>cp -H</userinput> because there are
distributions out there that do not know about the
<userinput>-H</userinput> option.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: New
gcc-3.2.3-specs-3.patch.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Adjusting toolchain:
Made it more architecture independant.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 10th, 2003 [gerard]: Chapter 05 - Locking in Glibc:
Made it more architecture independant.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 7th, 2003 [gerard]: Removed GCC No Debug patches. No
longer assume gcc-core and gcc-g++ packages are downloaded, so added
appropriate --enable-languages options.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>May 7th, 2003 [gerard]: Removed Chapter 6 - Glibc-Pass2.
It's not needed anymore with the pure-lfs integration.</para></listitem>
