|
|
+These are the TODO items for the next LFS release (3.0).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Full dependency list. This list isn't a list of "package a depends on
|
|
|
+ package b" but a list like "package b depends on the files c, d and e
|
|
|
+ from package f".
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Bring the book up to speed with the current FHS specs.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Create one big tarball of all the packages that need to be downloaded
|
|
|
+ and mention this file in chapter 3.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Mention security patches that can be applied to packages.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* At the end of the book suggest the user create the /etc/lfs-<version>
|
|
|
+ file and give a few reasons why the user would want
|
|
|
+ such a file (example: it's easy to forget after a while which LFS version
|
|
|
+ you run; it makes debugging easier for us knowing which LFS version a user
|
|
|
+ is running).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Check to see if we need the configparms file when installing Glibc.
|
|
|
+ Rumours have it that the --prefix=/usr we use causes
|
|
|
+ slibdir=/lib and sysconfdir=/etc to be assumed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Explain how changing runlevels works. Use the file written by Simon
|
|
|
+ Perreault at http://download.linuxfromscratch.org/misc/runlevels.txt
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Don't run lilo from inside chroot anymore. This causes severe problems
|
|
|
+ sometimes including LILO not bootstrapping properly.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Update ld.so's official location to ftp://ftp.ods.com/pub/linux/
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* metalab.unc.edu/sunsite.unc.edu have changed to ibiblio.org. Use this
|
|
|
+ for the URL's in Appendix C.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Add the gzip patch to Appendix C.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* 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
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* 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
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Sed'ing the MAKEDEV script gives us hda[1-20], hdb[1-20] and so forth.
|
|
|
+ Mention that all of these can't actually be used due to kernel
|
|
|
+ limitations (IDE goes to 16 max for example).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Install Glibc in chapter 6. This means chapter 5 needs mawk and
|
|
|
+ texinfo added as extra static packages. Test if this really works and
|
|
|
+ doesn't have unexpected problems. mawk needs the CFLAGS=-static
|
|
|
+ variable during the compile stage, texinfo needs LDFLAGs=-static.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Type in chapter 2 - how to install software: Last paragraph:
|
|
|
+ s/There is on exception/There is one exception/
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Rewrite chapter 2 a little bit. Add that export LFS=/mnt/lfs could be
|
|
|
+ added to root's .bash_profile/.bashrc (outside chroot) to make sure
|
|
|
+ that between build sessions the variable is still set.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Add to chapter 2 how to use .gz files (not just .tar.gz)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Mention LFS should be installed as user root
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* 'init S' has been reported not to work properly. Test this.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Add netkit-base and net-tools to Appendix A.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Use /etc/HOSTNAME for setting the hostname. This is a bit more
|
|
|
+ compliant with other distributions and therefore less confusing to
|
|
|
+ people.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Suggest using this command to strip debug symbols after you finish
|
|
|
+ chapter 6: find $LFS -type f -exec strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Modify the killproc function in the functions script. Right now it
|
|
|
+ works roughly as follows: killl, wait 2 secs, check if pid's are gone.
|
|
|
+ If not, kill with -KILL (aka -9), wait 2 secs, checkif pid's are gone.
|
|
|
+ If no, print error message.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Change this into: kill, don't wait 2 secs but check for pid's right
|
|
|
+ away. If pid's are still there, then wait 2 seconds and kill -KILL,
|
|
|
+ wait, if pid's still there, print error. Most daemons will exit
|
|
|
+ immediately and the 2 second wait for every daemon slows things down
|
|
|
+ unnessary.
