Actually, removal of des_crypt.c is all that is required if we avoid upstream's ridiculous policy of "break stuff to light a fire under downstream's hind quarters" (as suggested in the cross-post to LFS-Dev). Once that is done, nothing is broken, and only yp* cannot be used with IPv6 (or libtirpc at all), but the original IPv4 implementation is left in working order and NFS can be left to use libtirpc (including IPv6 functionality with rpcbind replacing portmap) without breaking any existing NIS installations (they can still only use IPv4, however). IOW: what is in the BLFS book now should work fine as far as BLFS is concerned. We should still provide a complete reversal of the GLibc changes in LFS for the time being as I think that the static TI-RPC libraries are probably broken with auth_time.c still there, but I gave up trying to identify or fix it as it was easier to simply "un-break" GLibc. -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
