Matt, Nice job on updating half the outstanding tickets. Now I'd like to discuss the other half.
#2093 Add a new section for multiple boot loaders I don't think this is necessary. When the next version of GRUB2 is released, I think that will cover what we need. #2412 Add more rationale to Toolchain Technical Notes Who do we get to advise us on this one? #2196 LSB compliance for LFS I submitted this ticket. We can't do this in LFS alone. It requires some substantial work in BLFS to complete. I think an overview page in the Preface of Chapter 1 would cover almost everything needed for LFS itself. There may be a couple of minor changes, e.g. symlinks, to the rest of the book, but otherwise, it shouldn't need a lot of changes. #2489 psmisc --exec-prefix="" and killall path This does not seem to be a major issue. And could be addressed on it's own soon. #1682 RFE: Mentioning optional dependencies This is just a matter of looking at the packages and doing it. It could be in each section of Chapter 6, the Introduction, or an Appendix. No instructions need to be changed. #1673 Why is each package in the book? This should be in an appendix and like #1682, just a matter of writing it up. No instructions need to be changed. #2033 Create initramfs I think this one should be closed as won't fix. The reason for a initrd is for those systems that don't know in advance which drivers are needed for accessing the boot files. That really isn't an issue for LFS where you build a custom Linux kernel. Add to that the ability of GRUB2 to access many systems such as LVM directly. Overall it's just not needed for LFS. If we want to add it to BLFS, then that is a possibility. --------- About the only other thing I can think of that is a candidate for LFS would be to add instructions for multi-lib. To me this is the only thing that should be a candidate for LFS 7.0. Anything else would be LFS 6.6 with a target release somewhere around next February. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
