I've done intensive testing with ICA lately, and the results are as good as before. On systems which have CONFIG_AUDIT enabled in the kernel, perl thinks that the user who builds it is "tester". That may seem surprising, but since it only appears in the documentation system, it has no consequence. Not tested, but I think it is the same in the regular (development) book with the recent changes. I am currently testing whether moving iana-etc before gcc may allow tests to pass, as reported by Joe Locash. If so, I'll commit it. Pierre PS: in relation to another thread: making an arm build would require just a few changes to the main build (at least on aarch64). Of course, one of the hard parts would be choosing the correct bootloader and kernel options: there are zillion of arm architectures! -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
