After akhiezer's thorough review of the FHS changes, I've narrowed things down to the following.
The numbers refer to the version control patch number, as in: http://bzr.linuxfoundation.org/loggerhead/lsb/devel/fhs-spec/revision/<number> The comment and short description follow. Then are my comments. I'm in the process of rebuilding again with the libexec overrides removed. I still need to look at grub for LFS and possible addition of some directories in the 'Creating Directories' section, but otherwise, things are looking pretty good. -- Bruce 49 2011-08-16 Might want to adjust b/lfs. Add /usr/share/ppd ***Maybe OK. Now using /etc/cups/ppd/ (mine empty) and /usr/share/a2ps/ppd/ Look to see if we can use /usr/share/ppd instead 48 2011-08-16 Might want to adjust lfs. Simplify boot requirements ***Not OK. Should move grub programs in /usr/sbin to /sbin 47 2011-08-16 Might want to adjust blfs. Remove ref to window manager rc files in /etc/X11 ***Probably OK. 44 2011-08-16 Might want to adjust b/lfs. Add /usr/libexec ***Not OK. Remove overrides to /usr/libexec. Dir should be automatically created. 40 2011-08-15 Might want to adjust blfs. Clear up status of /usr/{lib,sbin}/sendmail ***Not OK. We need to add symlink /usr/lib/sendmail -> location of sendmail or equivalent ***Probably OK. /usr/sbin/sendmail needs to resolve to sm or equivalent 39 2011-08-15 Might want to adjust b/lfs. Add color management directories ***Optional. Add /usr/share/color, /usr/local/share/color, /var/lib/color 32 2011-06-21 Might want to adjust blfs. Get rid of /usr/X11R6 and /usr/bin/X11 ***Probably OK. Only refs I can find are in the archives. 31 2011-06-16 Might want to adjust b/lfs. Prefer Unicode for /usr/share/dict ***Maybe OK. We may want to add optional /usr/share/dict. For spelling checks. May want to check Libreoffice, goffice, firefox, etc. File content, if present, should prefer utf8 28 2011-06-14 Might want to adjust lfs. Add section in Linux annex for /sys OK. We implement /sys as described. 27 2011-06-14 Might want to adjust lfs. Remove details regarding ext2 utils and LILO OK. FS maintenance and booting programs should be in /sbin ***Not OK. boot loader management (grub-*) is in /usr/sbin. See item 48 above. 26 2011-06-14 Might want to adjust b/lfs. Clarify differences between /srv and /var/lib OK. /var/lib should not contain user mofifiable files. I don't know of any. /srv can contain those files (e.g. html). 23 2011-06-14 Might want to adjust lfs. Clarify /usr/share/misc/magic OK. file installs to /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc. There is no /usr/share/file so no further action is needed. 17 2011-05-09 Might want to adjust b/lfs. extend no-subdirs rule to more places OK. No subdirs in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin 13 2011-05-06 Might want to adjust lfs. undo requirement for /bin/gunzip as a link OK. /bin/gunzip is a script -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
