  53. <listitem><para>September 13th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Shadow: Added
  54. --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure script options. This way a proper
  55. <filename>libshadow.la</filename> is generated. Also changed the
  56. <userinput>mv</userinput> command to move all the
  57. <filename>libshadow.so*</filename> files to the <filename
  58. class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. The <filename>lib*a</filename>
  59. files are already in the <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>
  60. directory.</para></listitem>

  65. link: Made the <userinput>ln</userinput> command an <userinput>ln
  66. -sf</userinput> so the existing <filename>/etc/mtab</filename> file, created

  68. re-creating it as a symlink.</para></listitem>
  69. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Sh-utils: Added
  70. the sh-utils-hostname patch that supresses the build of the hostname

  72. package is superior over this version.</para></listitem>
  73. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - Gawk: Updated
  74. the Gawk patch. It also changes the <emphasis>DDEFPATH</emphasis> directory

  87. Sysvinit: Changed the sulogin line to <emphasis>once</emphasis> instead of
  88. having it respawn. This way it'll behave as expected (ie: a CTRL+D will
  89. continue instead of restart sulogin).</para></listitem>
  90. <listitem><para>September 12th, 2002 [gerard]: Chapter 06 - GCC: Added the
  91. <emphasis>--enable-clocale=gnu</emphasis> option to ensure the proper
  92. locale mode is used by the C++ libraries.</para></listitem>
  93. <listitem><para>September 11th, 2002 [timothy]: Preface: Grammatic
  94. changes.</para></listitem>

  104. command. Makedev: Removed /bin/bash creation and removal. Man: Modified sed
  105. statement to edit less call, so SGR will work.</para></listitem>

  791. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 1 - News server:
  792. Added reference to the news server</para></listitem>
  793. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs: Changed
  794. --with-root-prefix=/ to --with-root-prefix="" in e2fsprogs install
  795. instructions. The reason for the change is that a value of / will cause
  796. symlinks and installation paths to use things like //lib instead of
  797. just /lib. This isn't bad perse, it just doesn't look
  798. nice.</para></listitem>
  799. <listitem><para>September 26th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 5+6: Updated to
  800. e2fsprogs-1.25, gettext-0.10.40, linux-2.4.10, modutils-2.4.9 and
  801. util-linux-2.11i.</para></listitem>

  812. <listitem><para>September 21st, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 1+7: Changed the
  813. mailing list information to reflect the new ml
  814. structure. The Ch7 change is that the rc and rcS scripts now ask people
  815. to report problems to lfs-dev instead of lfs-discuss.</para></listitem>
  816. <listitem><para>September 18th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 5+6 - GCC:
  817. Added --enable-threads=posix to chapter 5, and changed --enable-threads to
  818. --enable-threads=posix in chapter 6. Although the default is posix threads
  819. when
  820. not specified, it's clearer this way what's being
  821. enabled.</para></listitem>
  822. <listitem><para>September 17th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Psmisc:
  823. Added notes how to deal with psmisc's pidof symlink (in case sysvinit
  824. isn't installed) and man page. Also, added --exec-prefix=/ to psmisc's
  825. configure script in order for the programs to be installed in /bin
  826. rather than /usr/bin (bootscripts may use them, so they must be in
  827. /bin).</para></listitem>
  828. <listitem><para>September 16th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - Util-linux:
  829. Added USRGAMES_DIR=/usr/bin to the make install routine so that
  830. /usr/games isn't created for banner and it is installed in
  831. /usr/bin.</para></listitem>
  832. <listitem><para>September 14th, 2001 [markh]: Chapter 6 - E2fsprogs:

  834. <listitem><para>September 11th, 2001 [gerard]: Chapter 6 - Man: Added
  835. missing &amp;&amp; to 'done' and chmod the configure script to mode 755
  836. instead of 700 (more of a default mode so people don't _have_ to be
  837. running as the owner of that file).</para></listitem>
