#1924: gzip-1.3.6 ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.3 Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
A couple of quick comments on this one. * The security patch is no longer needed, the vulnerabilities have been fixed in this upstream version * Although the ChangeLog mentions that the syntax to tail has been changed to meet POSIX requirements, there's still a couple of occurrences of the old syntax remaining. I've sent a patch upstream for this, but in the mean time, the current sed will have to stay in. * There is now a `make check' target * I also note that we move gzip to /bin but we don't mention why. A quick look at the FHS suggests it's to comply with their requirements. May as well add a quick note here, just so as it's clear. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1924> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
