I was getting ready for a fresh build (I need a system with minimal
perl modules, for tracking their dependencies), so I gave this a
whirl. The removal of util-linux from chapter 5 caused me some
grief, but only because at some point I'd tried building from fedora
and obviously something had caused /dev/pts to not be mounted in
that situation, so I was using mountpoint to check that it had been
mounted. That problem is mine, all mine.
The build seemed to go ok (I haven't looked at the test results
beyond noticing that I'm still seeing failures in elfutils although
a run on a completed 8.3 system was ok - I had guessed maybe it
needed more static libs, but apparently not).
But apart from the weird build failure with nfs-utils (see blfs-dev)
my attempt to successfully boot failed - device eth0 not present.
My kernel config (was 4.18.6, now 4.18.9) and the general setup is
unchanged from 8.3, but perhaps something has changed in the new
eudev and I missed it ?
For the moment, my polite view is "double plus ungood", but for
people not scared of normal language my view is actually "sod this
for a game of soldiers".
Yes, maybe this problem is at my end, but I couldn't see anything
obvious from looking at yesterday's changes in trac when I updated
my scripts.
