I am getting ready to change the iana file installation in LFS. The procedure will be to download:
http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/LFS/lfs-packages/conglomeration/iana-etc/iana-files-1.0.tar.xz After unpacking the install will be: install -m644 -u root -g root services protocols /etc install -m744 -u root -g root update* /usr/sbin Two executable scripts are installed, update-iana-protocols and update-iana-services. These scripts create /usr/share/iana-etc if it does not exist and use wget (not available in LFS) to get the upstream xml files. The scripts then parse the xml files and update /etc/protocols and /etc/services as appropriate. As I write this, I'm thinking that the header of the installed files should perhaps also read: # To update this file, use the update-iana-<file> script. We might also want to just number the tarball iana-files-1.tar.xz and increment the number as needed without major/minor versions. Other tweaks can be made. Please let me know what you think. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
