[lfs-support] systemd versus sysvinit

2014-02-16 Thread Frans de Boer
Dear All,

It looks like most Linux distributions are switching to systemd from 
sysvinit. As Bruce is even one of the (co-?)authors of systemd, the 
knowledge is already in the house. Why would (x)LFS stick to sysvinit 
while the rest of the world is moving to systemd?

Of course, simplicity might be one reason. After all sysvinit system is 
much easier to understand then the somewhat more complex systemd system. 
However, if everybody was thinking like this, there would be no progress 
ever.
I also think that in order to keep (x)LFS attractive to new followers, 
the project should go with the flow.

Since my days of programming are long past, I can only offer my system 
resources for (test)building development versions - much as what I do today.

Regards, Frans.

I doubt he ever contributed any code to upstream systemd. If you by 
systemd mean the LFS systemd book, then no, he is one of the 
maintainers of LFS with sysvinit, on which LFS systemd is based.

A POS always has its attractants.

Bear in mind that Linux start by going, at least substantially, against
the flow. You may wish to lookup the von Neumann / Hilbert quote about
the flow of rivers.

Yes, that's taken as read. But it's not the central point there. The
central point there is that you seem to advocate a plain'n'simple
follow-the-herd mentality.

You seem to advocate a switch simply because (you don't give any
other reason there) 'everyone else is doing it': i.e. because there
is a majority, within a given set of people, doing a thing, then you
advocate following suit. If that's the basis for your reasoning, then:
apply it to another set, e.g. computer use in general, and then ask why
don't you advocate using windows/mac ? Why stick to linux when the vast
majority of the rest of the world is with windows/mac?

Your exhibiting a behaviour within one context, does not preclude folks
pointing out to you at least some downsides of that: and illustrating by
pointing out to you things like, for just one example, 'well what would
be the outcome if you behaved the same way - took the same attitude -
in this slightly wider and related context'.


  There is of course the systemd-lfs branch. ((It's apt to be known as
  'systemd-lfs' rather than 'lfs-systemd', to get correct the order of
  'drivers' - i.e. dictating what you will do.))

 I was not meant to take on the whole world so don't take it too literally.



I think you miss the point, namely ( again): your 'However ...' sentence
appears to contain multiple fallacious assumptions, leaps of 'logic',
c: it doesn't really follow from or tie-in well, with what you say
anywhere else; could you detail a bit more your line of thought there?


 
  I also think that in order to keep (x)LFS attractive to new followers,

 Hello there,

 I have been spending my time on LFS IRC for a long time now and have
 noticed that most users who come for help there get stuck at configuring
 their kernel.

 Thus, I have written a rather basic guide on how to configure the kernel
 to get your machine to boot for the first time (disk controllers and
 filesystem drivers), but not other hardware specific stuff.

 You can see it here:

 http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~krejzi/basic-kernel.txt

 Any suggestions or additions are welcome.

 Cheers.

  Just a couple of suggestions:
 

Thanks for your input.

 1. SATA etc
 So I select the first two modules below.
 s/modules/drivers/ - people coming from a distro might be used to
 building everything as a module and take it too literally.
 

Yeah, that makes sense. I've also added a note at the beginning that
everything should be built-in.

 2. filesystems -
 I would be inclined to drop specific mention of reiser3, and cover
 it by Additionally, any other filesystem not listed here., but
 perhaps some distro(s) used to use it in the last couple of years.
 

That was first in my mind, but I realised that BLFS still provides fs
tools for reiserfs and that's why I added it. I've removed it now though.

  I guess that defconfig covers almost everything else that is
 commonly needed to get a bootable .config.
 
 ĸen
 

That is mentioned at the beginning. But then again, some might try to
strip the kernel as much as possible, that's why I've covered the
basics only.

 Regards, Frans.

Please do not try to ignite a holy war. LFS has been, for the most
part, a very peacefull place and I think everyone would like it to stay
that way.

As for why we would stick to sysvinit? It exposes the underlying gears
and pipes to the user. That way, servicing it is easy. The only really
good (yet still apologetic) argument for systemd that I heard is that
some people do not know shell scripting and for them there is no
difference (AKA preference) between systemd and sysvinit - they need to
learn either from scratch.

Systemd, in my humble opinion, has been paid for, written as is being
pushed by Big Server. They ofcourse need it because they can use it to
quickly boot virtual machines when they need to and, presumably, manage
them all from a single place.

For LFS, whose stated mission is to teach people the internals of a
Linux system, systemd offers no tangible benefits apart from a dubious
line in some (but not all) CV-s (to the effect that so-and-so knows how
to configure systemd) yet has a major drawback in the shape of hiding
the inner workings of system boot from an LFS reader (because LFS is
first and foremost a book).

Just to check, were you aware in saying the above, that also
Ubuntu/Shuttleworth have now seemingly decided to switch to sysd:

  'Losing graciously'

  http://www.zdnet.com/after-linux-civil-war-ubuntu-to-adopt-systemd-726373/
  'After Linux civil war, Ubuntu to adopt systemd'

  http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=MTYwNDE
  'Ubuntu To Abandon Upstart, Switch To Systemd'



One silver lining, as noted muchly, is that if there is linux dev input
on sysd that is much wider than just the present cabal, then that might
accelerate the bashing into shape of it, splitting it apart into genuinely
modularised form, extracting and improving the reasonable ideas, letting
go the duffs, and generally being less of an asshat's type of software:
'adopting' of course doesn't necessarily mean 'accepting as-is in its
present and future upstream forms' indefinitely; folks won't stand for
one-way dictats.

i686-BDUX seems to the cause.

You are modifying what is in the book, and this is the second problem,
just in the beginning of the tools. It is good, modifications and
mistakes, so one learn a lot. But the first time building, just try to
copy and paste and only fill the places where asked.

I don't know if it's your first time. A frequent mistake is not
considering the vii. Host System Requirements. Each line from the
output of the script is relevant, difference probably will cause errors
somewhere.

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/prologue/hostreqs.html

Probably better to restart.

[lfs-support] CLFS eudev vs LFS udev

2014-02-16 Thread Alexey Orishko
Hi guys,

I have an old LFS 6.3 system I'm going to upgrade.
I've noticed that LFS-7.4 and CLFS 2.1.0 have two different udev variants.

A few questions related to that:
- Will CLFS and LFS go different ways in package selection? (udev in particular)
- Which one udev variant CLFS Eudev-1.3 or LFS Udev-206 (Extracted
from systemd-206)
  would you recommend?
  I'm aiming at minimum changes needed while moving from legacy udev.

[lfs-support] LFS-7.5-rc1 is released

2014-02-16 Thread Bruce Dubbs
The Linux From Scratch community is pleased to announce the release of 
LFS Version 7.5-rc1. This is the first release candidate on the road to 
LFS-7.5. It is a major release with toolchain updates to binutils, 
glibc, and gcc. In total, 32 packages were updated from LFS-7.4 and 
changes to text has been made throughout the book.

We encourage all users to read through this release of the book and test 
the instructions so that we can make the final release as good as possible.

You can read the book online at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/7.5-rc1/, or download from

There are a few issues with a new release for me at this point:
- I need a kernel which has a long term support (3.10.x used in LFS-7.4 does)
- I've switched from LFS to Cross-LFS and building on 64-bit Intel

 Any approximate date for a final release?

The target is March 1st.

 There are a few issues with a new release for me at this point:
 - I need a kernel which has a long term support (3.10.x used in LFS-7.4 does)
 - I've switched from LFS to Cross-LFS and building on 64-bit Intel
 Core2 for 32-bit Intel Atom...

For your host, LFS should be fine, but you can substitute 3.10.x.  For 
the Atom, you may want to use CLFS.  I don't have any experience with 
the Atom.
