  1. These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0):
  2. * Chapter 3: mention lfs-packages isn't for CVS
  3. * Fix the static link problems some distro's are causing
  4. * Clean out the ethnet script (for interface in $(ls
  5. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* | grep -v ifcfg-lo)
  6. do) needs some updating for example)
  7. * Don't use \u in PS1 when entering chroot to avoid the 'i have no
  8. name'. After Glibc installation we could modify the PS1 (export
  9. PS1=newvalues) and test that way if glibc is working properly. This
  10. saves us the having to exit and re-end chroot environtment. Another
  11. idea is to run 'id' or 'whoami' after Glibc installation and check if
  12. it's able to find a matching username with root's id.
  13. * Instead of rm file && ln -s source dest, use ln -sf source dest
  14. * e2fsprogs apparently needs ldconfig. Check if there are other
  15. packages before e2fsprogs which use ldconfig when it's present
  16. * Mention more hints through out the books (like BSD hint before
  17. staring with chapter 7, devfs hint before running MAKEDEV, etc)
  18. * Fix the layout of intel/chapter7/usage.xml
  19. * Consider ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/
  20. to replace console-tools/console-data
  21. * Try new procps install:
  22. make OPT="$CFLAGS" INCDIRS='-I/usr/include -I.' XSCPT='' install
  23. * When installing Glibc in chapter 6 glibc-build/login/pt_chown isn't
  24. installed (we'll copy manually for now) and the mtrace program isn't
  25. build. Find out why.
  26. * Incorporate LFS FAQ in the book
  27. * Full dependency list. This list isn't a list of "package a depends on
  28. package b", but a list of "package a depends on b and c from
  29. package d"
  30. * Bring the book up to speed with the current FHS specs.
  31. * Mention security patches that can be applied to packages.
  32. * Don't run lilo from inside chroot anymore. This causes severe problems
  33. sometimes including LILO not bootstrapping properly.
  34. * Bring back the PPC book (recreate from scratch using current intel
  35. book) using Jesse McCrosky's notes at
  36. http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-notes.txt
  37. and the patch to the 'patch' package at:
  38. http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/ppc-patch.patch
  39. * Add descriptions what the patches do we use (like the console-tools and gzip
  40. patches)
  41. * Try out Slackware's MAKEDEV script and see if it's any better than the
  42. currently used one. A copy can be found at
  43. http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/Slackware-MAKEDEV
  44. * Add netkit-base and net-tools to Appendix A.
  45. * Suggest using this command to strip debug symbols after you finish
  46. chapter 6: find $LFS -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
