Re: DocBook XML DTD-4.4
Randy McMurchy wrote these words on 03/31/05 11:22 CST: I am updating BLFS to the current version (4.4) of the DocBook XML DTD. This will render tonight on Belgarath and be available on the mirrors Friday morning. So, once I hear from Matt, I'll know that everything is good and I'll perform the update on *all* the BLFS XML sources in trunk. What this means to the Editors and anyone else who wishes to render the BLFS book is that you'll need to install the 4.4 DTD on your local systems. I've not heard back from Matt yet, but I checked the LFS source files in SVN and they reference the 4.4 DTD. I checked on Belgarath and the 4.4 DTD is installed. Everything appears to be a go with the conversion of the BLFS sources to the 4.4 DTD. One thing for you folks that have build scripts. Update your scripts to add a new Element to your script. There's a new element, the htmltblx element. I'm not sure if this is/would be referenced by anything but it is a new addition to the build script. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 02:14:00 up 29 days, 12:18, 4 users, load average: 0.03, 0.14, 0.33 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: lesstif 0.94.2
roger21 a écrit : hi, just a feedback about trying to install the last stable release of lesstif (0.94.2) : * the ./configure failled because of the abscence of autopackage/default.aspec.in and autopackage/Makefile.in a touch on these files fixes the probleme (as explained in a bug-repport answer on SF) * make failled with the --enable-production option (bug report sent) (the --enable-build-21 option is set by default according to --help=recurcive and FHS compliance is not fixed) when these two issues are circumvented it seems ok ... 0.94.4 out -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
LFS News Server
Hi all: Posting this to the main lists so that all can see. As you're likely aware, there has been some trouble lately with our news server here. As of Wednesday, we had the server back online and the mail news gateway was working effectively. However, the news mail gateway was still not functioning properly for all lists. In order that as few postings as possible are lost, at least for the time being, the news lists have been made read only. If you want to post to a list, you can still do so via email at the corresponding list address. Apologies for any trouble this may cause, but hopefully you'll agree that this is better than having lost posts that show up on the newslists, but are not reflected in the mailman archives or to email-only subscribers. -- Jeremy Huntwork -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: DocBook XML DTD-4.4
Matthew Burgess wrote these words on 04/01/05 09:52 CST: 1. The 4.4 DTD renders the BLFS book just fine. I've been using it for a month with no issues I can notice. Yep, the DTD shouldn't affect rendering at all - it simply states what elements are allowed within other elements, and what general type of content they can contain is. i.e. it's only going to cause problems when validating the sources against the DTD using something like `xmllint'. Having said that, the 4.x series are well into maintenance mode now, and won't contain any backward incompatible changes so your 4.3 Docbook sources will be compatible with the 4.4 DTD too without changes. This may be true with the XML DTD, however, I found out on the SGML side that there are compatibility issues. I just recently updated the libusb package and they switched from the 3.1 DTD to the 4.2 DTD. I didn't think too much about it, as I had the rewrite statements to point the 4.2 DTD to my installed 4.4 version. The make puked during the creation of the docs. I then installed the 4.2 DTD, removed the rewrite statements from the catalog and the make was successful. Not trying to argue your point, just passing along what I found out. I put the specific 4.2 SGML DTD version as an optional requirement for the libusb package. 2. Belgarath has the 4.4 DTD installed. Yes, it has. 3. The LFS book is using the 4.4 DTD in current SVN trunk sources. Yes, it is. Thanks for the info, Matt. This makes it official that the conversion of the XML BLFS sources to the 4.4 DTD will happen Sunday night. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 15:17:00 up 30 days, 1:21, 4 users, load average: 0.84, 0.32, 0.11 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Broken commands in the DocBook XML DTD instructions
Hi all, I updated the DocBook XML DTD instructions to 4.4 yesterday and just now noticed that I forgot to remove the ampersands in the commands inside the new for loop I put into the instructions. So the currently rendered instructions will fail because if it. I've committed the change to fix this, but wanted to pass along the temporary breakage so that you'll know that I'm aware that it was wrong. It will be sometime around 9:00am tomorrow (- GMT) before the mirrors will sync up with the changes. The fix is simply to remove the ampersands on the commands inside the for loop. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 15:26:01 up 30 days, 1:30, 4 users, load average: 0.83, 0.58, 0.34 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
DocBook XSL Stylesheets
Hi all, I've updated BLFS to the newest (1.68.1) version of the XSL stylesheets. I have been rendering the [B,H]LFS books for quite a while now using these stylesheets, and as best as I can tell, it renders the same as the 1.67.2 stylesheets. Except in PDF. Our custom FO stylesheets will need some work. For the time being, Anduin has the 1.67.2 stylesheets installed (as does Belgarath), so rendering PDF for installation on the website download areas won't be an issue. However, for locally rendered PDF using the 1.68.1 stylesheets, it simply doesn't format correctly right now. Nothing really horrible, just the left margin is messed up in a bunch of places. Hopefully, after Manuel is finished with the BLFS-6.0 translation he is working on, he can devote some time to performing his magic on the custom FO stylesheets and fix the PDF rendering issue. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 17:50:00 up 30 days, 3:54, 4 users, load average: 0.34, 0.13, 0.06 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Re: Iptables/Firewall
Andrew Benton wrote: In response to a post on BLFS support I looked at the pages in my current version of BLFS (svn-20050331) and I can't see where it says to install the iptables bootscript. Is it just me, or is this a bug in the book? Yes. It is a bug that I will fix soon. Whilst I'm here on iptables business, in the personal firewall script it sets the rule iptables -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT which as the comment says, is the same as setting the output policy to ACCEPT, but in the same script it also explicitly sets iptables -P OUTPUT DROP which sets the output policy to DROP. Is that not a contradiction? Not really. If the default is set to DROP, then the onlt thing to change is the rules. If you set to ACCEPT and then want to change the rules later, it would be easy to forget about the policy and the rules would then not do what you want. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
