Hello,
as you probably know, the x86_64 CD is unmaintained, and there were even "don't
use, it's broken" notes in IRC logs (that I can't confirm or disprove due to
lack of hardware). Since I cannot maintain this myself, I propose to invite Matt
Darcy to the LiveCD team as a developer from CLFS (we already discussed this on
IRC with Matt, the only issue to solve is with SVN permissions, but AFAIK that's
Archaic's territory).
The suggested change:
* Since CLFS and LFS LiveCDs are too different, Matt should primarily work in
a branch, not in trunk. The branch that reflects the state of the repository
before removal of the unmaintained CLFS instructions is at:
svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/branches/cross/
* This branch will not be merged to trunk (because it is based on a completely
different book), but useful fixes can be easily ported.
The branch needs some cleanup:
* the x86 non-cross CD builds fine, but it is a wrong branch to build this CD
from
* the cross-x86 arch was never functional
* the instructions for x86_64 don't match any available book (they are an
attempt to UTFize CLFS)
* Sparc64 was never buildable because the boot loader is not in SVN
* there are many BLFS packages that were never built on non-x86
* the book on CLFS CDs is still the regular LFS book, which is wrong
The config.site file is not used (because rejected by Ryan Oliver), but it would
be a good idea, because it allows one to write BLFS Makefiles without care about
/lib{,64} differences and thus port packages between the branch and trunk
easily. The config.site example in the tree is old, there is a better attempt
attached.
