  20. <listitem><para>February 10th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 5 + 6: Moved
  21. additional programs to the ($LFS)/bin directory that are used by the
  22. bootscripts. No programs used by bootscripts (except daemons themselves)
  23. should be in the /usr directory in case /usr isn't available until far
  24. along in the boot process (when it's an NFS share for
  25. example).</para></listitem>
  26. <listitem><para>February 6th, 2002 [markh]: Appendix A - All
  27. descriptions now synced and updated.</para></listitem>
  28. <listitem><para>February 2nd, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Changing owner:

  38. lfs-bootscripts-1.3</para></listitem>
  39. <listitem><para>February 1st, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Glibc: Instead of

  42. <quote>cross-compiling = no</quote>.</para></listitem>
  43. <listitem><para>January 30th, 2002 [marcheerdink]: Chapters 5: Changed
  44. the commands to copy the header files to support versions of cp older
  45. than 4.1.</para></listitem>
  46. <listitem><para>January 30th, 2002 [markh]: Chapters 5+6: Added
  47. CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -D_GNU_SOURCE" to the configure command for patch.
  48. This fixes compilation on PPC and m68k platforms and doesn't hurt on
  49. x86.</para></listitem>
  50. <listitem><para>January 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 5 - Mounting proc:
  51. Rephrased the text a bit (it implied you can only mount the proc fs more
  52. than once, which isn't true anymore these days).</para></listitem>

  58. symlink from vipw to vigr after installing shadow.</para></listitem>

  64. <listitem><para>January 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Appendix A - Texinfo: the info
  65. programs works on the /usr/share/info directory not
  66. /usr/doc/info.</para></listitem>
  67. <listitem><para>January 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Procps: Fixed typo
  68. the path to the app-defaults directory (it's

  71. <listitem><para>January 30th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Configure

  88. <listitem><para>January 26th, 2002 [marcheerdink]: Chapter 6: Removed the

  254. --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install
  255. instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
  256. symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of
  257. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  258. nice.</para></listitem>

  272. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
  273. mailing list information to reflect the new ml
  274. structure. The Ch7 change is that the rc and rcS scripts now ask people
  275. to report problems to lfs-dev instead of lfs-discuss.</para></listitem>
  276. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
  277. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  278. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  279. when
  280. not specified, it's clearer this way what's being
  281. enabled.</para></listitem>
  282. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  283. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  284. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  285. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  286. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  287. /bin).</para></listitem>
  288. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  289. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that
  290. /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in
  291. /usr/bin.</para></listitem>
  292. <listitem><para>September 14th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs:
  293. Updated to version 1.24.</para></listitem>
  294. <listitem><para>September 11th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Man: Added
  295. missing &amp;&amp; to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755
  296. instead of 700 (more of a default mode so people don't _have_ to be
  297. running as the owner of that file).</para></listitem>
