George -
I have what I hope isn't a dumb question about jhalfs, which probably
relies on some knowledge of the HLFS svn repository (which I don't have).
The current published version of HLFS is svn-20060510. This is what is
rendered online, etc. However, jhalfs pulls the development sources
from svn, at least by default. I know how to point jhalfs at a
different book, if I had already checked it out, but I haven't. It
turns out that the development sources have been updated recently (at
the least, coreutils was upgraded 6/29, it looks like changes are
continuing), and jhalfs doesn't appear to be able to build it from
scratch (coretils patches for 5.97 from
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/coreutils don't match
the md5 checksum, etc).
I poked around with svn and didn't see any tags in the HLFS tree that
corresponded with svn-20060510, so I don't see a way (which doesn't mean
that there isn't one) to check out that version of the book. So: is
there a way to point jhalfs at such a version from the repository, or
can you tell me the path in the repository to books other than the current?
How about I give you the md5sum for the patch. It looks like the book
does not match the patch.

Run the script with the config params you have chosen but _do not_
select the auto run of the makefile .. (ie. no -M) The script will fail
but you can manually edit patches.ent in the hlfs-development directory.
Re-run the script but make sure you _do not_ request a 'cleaning' of
the build directory. (ie. no -R) and you should pick up the coreutils
patch should validate.
keep me informed.
Thanks in advance,
