It seems #12448 and #12459 contain various security fixes. Should we
backport
them to 9.0?

#12456 (Ruby) has a fix for two vulnerabilities - one from 2012 and one
from 2015. The problem with backporting updates is that I believe that
everything that links to them has to be retested. That being said
though, I'd give a +1 to backporting them.
I'll try a full jhalfs build to verify 9.0 tomorrow. I hope I can use
jhalfs
correctly and my 16-core workstation will work fine. But I can't guarantee
any
success.
If you need anything, please tell me. I think a full blfs can be built by
editing at most 30 scripts, most notably:
I failed. Either I misused jhalfs or it has a bug. I got some "Error 2" from
make and was able to "fix" some of them. But at last I can't continue anymore.
At which stage did it fail? make in the jhalfs dir or make in packages?
I'm sorry about the doc. I do not work much on it. Roger Koehler gave the
necessary bits. I do not know what to add without knowing where it failed.

I have the same issues (I think just not breaking it up into parts). The
sgml stuff all fails when adding catalogs, these must be edited prior to
running, killing off the destdir catalogs, otherwise you will need to
edit /etc/sgml/catalog.cat before proceeding. Another thing is that
binary texlive probably needs to be installed to avoid editing files
that depend on it because we do not have a concept of dependencies for
command blocks in the book. I've taken to install texlive manually. That
said, blfs-tool has come a long long way. Looking good. In addition to
the list you posted above, I have the following:
GTK2 and GTK3: the commands to update the iconcache and db should be
removed from the DESTDIR install
QT5: set QT5PREFIX and required configuration changes if you want to
install into /usr
Postfix: this was mentioned, but to be a bit more clear, make sure you
have your link and C args in there for rebuilding the makefile
Even with this number of issues, I have to congratulate you on the work
you've done. A very large portion of the book can be built using it.
Yes, there are some issues, some of these could be addressed in the book
source while staying on db4.5, but the tools have come a long, long way.
