Pages to download are specifies in Makefile. Of course, I test these scripts in old and patched variants. Old scripts are almost unusable, services file generated incorrectly.

Of course, it is mainly a proprietary junk, but I don't know how to separate really useful entries. For me, I add rpcbind as alias for sunrpc, sunrpc 111/tcp<----->rpcbind # SUN Remote Procedure Call sunrpc 111/udp<----->rpcbind # SUN Remote Procedure Call There also can be some other aliases, see, for example, services and protocols files from Gentoo baselayout, http://de-mirror.org/gentoo/distfiles/baselayout-2.2.tar.bz2 I don't know the authorized source of these aliases. And about CLFS patches. First patch, iana-etc-2.30-get_fix-1.patch, correct only download url. It is not enough, because format of IANA data also changed and services file can't be regenerated without changes in scripts. Second patch is just a snapshot of IANA data on 2012-06-08. I think, we may combine two ways in one: provide patches on scripts for people living on the edge, and provide some snapshot of data for regular use. > -- Bruce > -- > http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ > Unsubscribe: See the above information page >
