That way, if/when util-linux-ng get release an upstream version, we just remove it at the same time as the version bump, without touching other packages. > I need to do more testing on the coreutils build before I start a full system build, I had some odd errors yesterday (e.g. invocation of autotools, which failed at the lzma identifier), and it appeared to not install arch even though I had not mentioned it in my override of --enable-no-install-program. I've not tested the syntax for --enable-no-install-program out yet, but do remember seeing some emails flying around regarding whether it was a space-separated or comma-separated list. I'd like to see 6.10 in the book too. To that end, I think we should proceed with a modified Fedora version of the i18n patch, `hostname' script added on to util-linux-ng's page, and the mktemp package removed. I'd appreciate it if you could find the time to test that combination out Ken. If not, I'll certainly get around to it at some point. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2133#comment:12> 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
