I have already asked this but i figured i should make a dedicated post for this, plus my question still hasnt exactly been answered
Using LFS 7.10 stable, Chapter 5.3, the part where you extract all the downloaded packages before compiling. When i extract the tzdata2016f.tar.gz archive, it puts all the contents into the source directory /mnt/lfs/sources , aka the folder where all the downloaded packages are. it doesn't create its own "protected" directory for all the files like all the other packages make. so im a bit confused if thats normal or not. i was told that the book extracts tzdata from within the glibc-2.24/build directory. so should i just move on, and let the extracted files rest inside the "root directory" of the location of all the extracted sources (/mnt/lfs/sources), or do i need to create a directory for tzdata2016f and change the permissions to what the others are? im sorry, this stuff is just a bit confusing to me.
