Just a quick (but functional) mock-up using
update-ca-certificates as an example. Can clean it up if this
would be good for the book. Would need to move to chapter 7,
after networking configuration (won't work without
/etc/resolv.conf).
This is an interesting idea, but I think for LFS it would be
better to host the files on anduin for download. The update is
really not very critical. After all we have been working with the
current version since 2008 without issue.
(Looking at the current XML files, protocols was last updated
2017-10-13 but services was updated 2019-07-02 (yesterday). )
Right now we create a tarball with all packages that is available
for download. After that, for LFS, an internet connection is not
needed. I'd like to keep it that way.
We could but the script on anduin to keep the files updated like
we do with firmware. We could also put the update script into
BLFS similar to make-ca.
Another thought for BLFS is to just download the xml files with
wget and use xsltproc and a custom .xsl file to parse the xml.
https://github.com/djlucas/iana-etc <-- In the interim. I emailed
Seth, haven't heard from him in several years.
Are you going to update the book?
Okay, I've heard back from Seth, and he is cool with me taking over
maintenance (he hasn't used it in some time) if we'd even like to
keep it in the book. I've created a 4.0 release (per his suggestion,
since somebody else has long ago done an unrelated 3.0 release and
forgotten it). Whether we continue to use it is up to y'all. I'm fine
with just downloading a static copy for LFS and making mention of the
two awk scripts at some point as well, or putting a script in BLFS to
update them occasionally.
My preference would be for the last suggestion.
End of Glibc?
I was thinking of a very simple separate page where the iana-etc page is
now.
tar -xf iana-oages.tar.xz -C /etc
Perhaps a page in Chapter 7 right after the bootscripts would be better.
