Whilst I am more of a lurker on here than anything else, I thought I'd flag up a couple of things which, as is often the way, I came across whilst looking for something else, which might be of interest here, albeit in a comparative sense.
There's a bloke at SUN looking into creating a GNU/Solaris from Scratch: (I typed in various combinations of his name and the concept to an LFS mailing list archive search and found nothing, so I hope you haven't already discusssed this at length) http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/eric_boutilier/20050406#unix_from_scratch_table_of The second item that might be of interest in light of the recent bootscripts discussion on here, is the way that Solaris 10 is moving it's service start/stop facilities into the new Service Management Framework (SMF) as they look to move away from rc-style scripts and indeed, away from (x)inetd.conf. I ended up reading: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/selfheal/smf-quickstart.html but I am sure there is more, much more. Again, apologies if you've already done any potential links between that topic and LFS to death as well. On a definitely LFS-related tack, I'd like to ask: Is there a general LFS consenus that the errors in the glibc-2-3.4 test suite that have been seen to occur with the 2.6.11.n kernel series of late can be ignored, because it is the kernel that is "at fault" (in which case, any problems will go away as one builds later kernels), or are 2.6.11.n/2.3.4 combos to be avoided by all but those for whom the bleeding edge is a second home, because the problems lie with the interaction between the glibc and kernel API, and highlight problems that would be then be locked into an LFS build using the most recent glibc/kernel-headers sources ? -- Regards, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Kevin M.
