Hi all, Has anyone built a patch for the new coreutils version that will suppress the building and installation of the 'hostname' program?
Currently LFS uses a patch for coreutils-5.93 that suppresses building the 'uptime', 'kill' and 'su' programs. There used to be a patch in the repo that also suppressed the building of the 'hostname' program for the previous versions of Coreutils. The Net-Tools package in BLFS references this patch. The BLFS book says that if you need to reinstall Coreutils and you wish to preserve the Net-Tools 'hostname' program, you'll need this patch. I'm hoping that perhaps someone has created such a patch for the new Coreutils. If not, what might be best is to create a patch that goes *on top* of the existing LFS 'no_uptime_kill_su' patch. This way it may be more portable to future versions of Coreutils. Or, does anyone else have a better idea. Removing Net-Tools from the book not being an option. :-) -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 14:01:01 up 61 days, 23:25, 3 users, load average: 0.76, 0.32, 0.20 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
