I have just committed an update to LFS that clears all the tickets for the
book. The package freeze is scheduled for two days from now and I know
of no impending upstream releases between now and then.
If anyone has any changes that need to be addressed, please post them here
or open a ticket.
I do have one concern that I'd like to discuss. When doing an update, I
usually build the entire LFS system, including all checks in Chapter 6. I
started this process last night, but the checks for perl hung for about
six hours. Killing the process and just re-running the perl build/checks
and continuing completed the rest of the build without further issue.
I've seen the perl tests hang before after glibc-2.24 was installed, but
not every time. The fact that just rerunning the checks passes points to
a timing issue. To me the most likely culprit is glibc, however I can't
be sure.
My first question here is whether anyone else has seen this problem? The
second issue is how we should address it, if at all.
Suggestions welcome.
