#2127: Module-Init-Tools-3.4 --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- New version, new aggravations (make distclean no longer removes the binaries after the tests, and it needs docbook2man to generate man pages from the sgml. Minor aggravations - it has moved again, to ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jcm/module-init-tools/ .
The 'home page' at kerneltools hasn't been updated in a long time. I think I've now sorted out the aggravations from this in clfs (heh, LFS can get some benefits from clfs!), and I've got a patch to add formatted man pages (the alternative is to add docbook-utils into LFS - with it's several dependencies (all of BLFS chapter 43), that seems a non-starter). But, I'm increasingly queasy about instructing people to run the testsuite: It produces binaries which aren't usable in the finished system (they reference environment variables, and seem to be purely designed for testing). I found that out because 'make distclean' still does something, it's just that it's no longer useful, so I ended up installing the test versions, and then wondering why my system wasn't usable (see clfs-dev, December). It seems to me that the testsuite here has now crossed the line from very-occasionally-useful to not-normally-worth-doing. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2127> 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
