I'm tempted to suggest we add some more dangling symlinks at random
;-)
Looking at old programs can be useful - I've so far found that the
sed and autoreconf in 'at' no longer do anything useful (if they
ever did, I've no idea about that, never used it).
Meanwhile, I have so far identified the following BLFS packages
which might be affected. Where I say I've installed them in chroot
I mean that I stayed in my no-flags throwaway chroot system which
has only been built as far as the end of chapter 8.
'autoconf'
openldap-2.4.50 built and installed in chroot
id3lib-3.8.3 built and installed in chroot
a2ps commented out in pst/ps/ps.xml
bridge-utils-1.6 built and installed in chroot
'autoreconf' (order from 'find' on my system)
at-3.1.23 appeared to work, but is pointless, ticket raised.
ImageMagick-6.9.10-93 built, follwed by emacs, emacs started
graphviz-2.44.1 manual build and install in chroot
sassc-3.6.1 manual build and isntall in chroot
lcms2-2.11 autoreconf is commented out
libpaper-1.1.24-nu5 built as part of my normal build
libmad-0.15.1b built as part of my normal build
cairo-1.17.2+f93fc72c03e built as part of my normal build
sgml-common-0.6.3 built as part of my normal build
polkit-32450615 : autoreconf is commented out
reiserfs-3.6.27 built and installed in chroot
I have not yet looked at the following uses of autoreconf:
libunique
exempi
libgrss
clutter
cogl
tigervnc
tripwire
volume_key
cifsutils
libnsl
(total 25 packages)
Moving to the new-style LFS has greatly improved test results. I
remember the development of 'pure lfs' where the tests were added,
and at that time if the tests passed we got much better builds. So
I mostly run all the LFS tests when building a new system. I'm keen
to see working tests in LFS (although for much of what is in BLFS
I'm ambivalent about the usefulness of the testsuites).
