Hello.
Just a comment on the jhalfs-1.0 paco patch.
In common/config, the PACO_EXCLUDE variable is set thusly:
PACO_EXCLUDE=/${SCRIPT_ROOT}
I guess ${SCRIPT_ROOT} is the directory from which jhalfs is run.
Yes. It's taken directly from the config files, and expands to
$BUILDDIR/$SCRIPT_ROOT.
I think directories /dev, /proc, /sys and /tmp should be also excluded
by default. I suggest:
PACO_EXCLUDE=${SCRIPT_ROOT}:/dev:/proc:/sys:/tmp
Otherwise the resulting logs will contain many unwanted files.
I did exclude the mentioned dirs in the earlier versions of the patch.
In later testing it seemed it wasn't necessary, as my logs don't contain
any entries from those dirs, and hence I removed them from the setting
to make it look cleaner. If anyone got problems with mess in the logs,
please tell me and I'll exclude the needed dirs again.
Another question:
I have tried to build LFS-6.2-pre2 with jhalfs-1.0, and I had to copy
the paco tarball into the ${LFS_MOUNT_POINT}/jhalfs/sources manually,
because jhalfs did not copy it automatically. This caused the build
process to fail at the beggining of chapter 6.
Yes, very annoying I must admit :(
It's described in the README.PACO that the source package needs to be
downloaded and copied to the sources dir manually, as the jhalfs script
don't handle that part. I keep forgetting and the build bails. Luckily,
you can just copy the package to the sources dir and type make again,
and the build continues where it left off.
Hopefully I'll be able to incorporate automatic download when I get some
free time for my computer.. ;)
