Thanks a lot. I'm amazed you keep talking about destdir installs in blfs
tools: there is no possibility for that, is there? Oh, I see, you use the
packInstall.sh for dpkg or pacman, don't you? I've never tested that, I use
porg. I even believed there was no way to use destdir installs in blfs tools,
because some directories have to be created before some instructions are run.

Concerning texlive, the binary build could be added if you request it, but for
texlive, the build time is not very long compared to the download time anyway,
so I always install texlive from source.

Normally, now, all commands that depend on texlive or doxygen are commented
out as being remap='doc' instructions, so there are no circular dependencies
for those. Scripts need to be edited to use doxygen and/or texlive instead
(uncomment the corresponding instructions).

I have the same issues (I think just not breaking it up into parts). The 
sgml stuff all fails when adding catalogs, these must be edited prior to 
running, killing off the destdir catalogs, otherwise you will need to 
edit /etc/sgml/catalog.cat before proceeding. Another thing is that 
binary texlive probably needs to be installed to avoid editing files 
that depend on it because we do not have a concept of dependencies for 
command blocks in the book. I've taken to install texlive manually. That 
said, blfs-tool has come a long long way. Looking good. In addition to 
the list you posted above, I have the following:


GTK2 and GTK3: the commands to update the iconcache and db should be 
removed from the DESTDIR install
QT5: set QT5PREFIX and required configuration changes if you want to 
install into /usr
Postfix: this was mentioned, but to be a bit more clear, make sure you 
have your link and C args in there for rebuilding the makefile


Even with this number of issues, I have to congratulate you on the work 
you've done. A very large portion of the book can be built using it. 
Yes, there are some issues, some of these could be addressed in the book 
source while staying on db4.5, but the tools have come a long, long way.

The main things to remember before starting a jhalfs build are:

1. All necessary tools are installed.

2. You are either connected to the internet or you have all the necessary
packages in your archive and you have a local copy of the book xml files.

3. You have mounted the partition you intend to install on.

4. The user you are logged in as has write permission on the mounted
install partition

5. If you are using package management, make sure you have created or
copied the two necessary scripts.

If I remember those things, I usually don't have any errors.

If you need anything, please tell me. I think a full blfs can be built by
editing at most 30 scripts, most notably:

- PAM (choose which "system-password" file)
- openldap (choose between server and client)
- mariadb and posgresql (add a sleep 1 after starting the daemon, and some
  config files for mariadb)
- kerberos (the config needs to be done manually)
- aspell (choose a dictionary)
- sendmail, postfix, and exim (choose one, and verify config files)
- openssh (needs manual intervention for generating key and sending it to
  remote)
- rust (the instructions for creating /opt/rust are wrongly wrapped into porg
  instructions, if you use porg)
- bind, bind-utils, and unbound (choose one, and verify config files)
- cups, and some other packages, may have instructions like
  gtk-update-icon-cache or update-desktop-database before the corresponding
  program is installed.
- java binary (choose 32/64 bits)
- openjdk (unset MAKEFLAGS)
- gtk2 (check config)
- dhcp, dhcpcd (choose one, and check config)
- tripwire
- almost all the packages that install bootscripts which need some
  configuration in /etc/sysconfig (ftp programs, DM, and DE, network
  interfaces, etc)
- package using tex (need to add the directory of tex binaries to PATH when
  running sudo, not sure it is needed anymore, but I do it :)
- mozilla packages (edit config)
- the environment scripts (xorg-env, kf5-intro)
- kf5-frameworks and plasma (remove bash -e and exit, since they break
  scripts), and also edit some /opt settings.

Also, it is usually necessary to rebuild poppler after qt5 (if built before),
otherwise okular does not compile.

continuously thoughout the year. webkit and firefox seem to get them
quite often.

I was going to take the day off, but I can handle it. I have all of 
those built anyway. I'll have 'em in by later tonight or tomorrow 
morning. I'll start in around an hour and fetch the three tickets.


I'm going to do ruby first, then WebKitGTK+, and then libgcrypt. Going 
for libgcrypt last because it has the most to reverify.

Do we have any volunteers?

The alternative is to update after release and publish notification in 
the errata.  I'll note that we get these types of security updates 
continuously thoughout the year. webkit and firefox seem to get them 
quite often.

Sorry not volume-key but I can't recall which one now...  I built "that" package
a week ago I think.  Defer it to 9.1.

I'll try a full jhalfs build to verify 9.0 tomorrow.  I hope I can use jhalfs
correctly and my 16-core workstation will work fine.  But I can't guarantee any
success.

And volume-key can be built with Python 3 now.  It should be OK to move the P2
dependency to optional (for Python 2 binding).  Should it be done in 9.0 or 9.1?

It seems #12448 and #12459 contain various security fixes.  Should we 
backport

them to 9.0?

#12456 (Ruby) has a fix for two vulnerabilities - one from 2012 and one 
from 2015. The problem with backporting updates is that I believe that 
everything that links to them has to be retested. That being said 
though, I'd give a +1 to backporting them.

There are a few things that I'd like to suggest (my apologies for the 
text wrapping if it comes out wrong, using the webmail interface since 
I'm at a Windows machine).


One thing that I'd like to see addressed is the installation of systemd 
units in xfce4-notifyd and Thunar. That should most certainly be fixed 
before release.
