I have completed adding the additional package and patch entities to the XML patch. The SBU entities for each package are not accurate yet. Once the full system builds using jhalfs the SBU values can be updated.
You can find the patch here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~rbaker/hlfs-0.0.1-lfs-6.6.patch As I said I have been working with jhalfs to ensure the system build can be automated. At the moment the system will download everything and build through chapter 5. I haven't gotten the automated kernel build working in chapter 5 yet. Just leave the kernel build disabled for now. I have uploaded two additional files to aid in automated builds through chapter 5. This file is lightly modified. It sets the HLFS environment variable instead of LFS, and handles skipping the kernel build in chapter05 when you don't select a config file. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~rbaker/master.sh This file needed to have the diff file extension added to it so jhalfs would download patches with the diff extension. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~rbaker/urls.xsl The process I have been using to build using jhalfs is as follows. 1. Boot system using lfs live cd. (I generally use a vmware or vbox virtual system) 2. Setup disks partition/format/mount data and swap. 3. Set jhalfs user and group as owners of the whole mounted data partition. 4. Download jhalfs-2.3.2, LFS-6.6-XML, and the hlfs patch to the root of the mounted data partition. 5. Unpack LFS-6.6-XML and patch the LFS book 6. Copy modified master.sh to jhalfs-2.3.2/LFS/ and urls to jhalfs-2.3.2/common/. 7. Change users to jhalfs and run make in the jhalfs2.3.2 directory. 8. Use LFS as the build type, use the working copy option. (point to the patched LFS-XML) Configure it to build the sources, and close the menu. 9. Once the build begins delete the jhalfs/lfs-commands/chapter0{6,7,8} so the build doesn't continue past the temporary system phase. (I haven't changed any commands beyond chapter 5.) Some highlights of the changes to the book include the following: Build order change to conform with HLFS. Don't use a cross compiled build as it causes issues with HLFS build order. There are a few cases where patches have not been added to the book because upstream hosting is either gone, or the patches themselves have issues. (I will be looking into fixing this) I am still working on moving past the temporary tools. The second pass binutils instructions may need some tweaking because I am having issues with ld breakage when I do the re-adjusting step. More to come on this later. I have built everything through chapter 5 on both 32bit and 64bit without issue. I am sure there is more to cover, but off the top of my head those points are the most important to mention.
