It's not particularly hard.  Just use the old udev-lfs tarball, see 
where the problems are and update the Makefile.  Generally it's just 
adding a couple of new files to compile and add to the library. 
Sometime there's nothing.

Pff, that's quick. I knew they where preparing for 210, but expected 
that it would take another 2-3 months.

Oeps, how about continuity in case you are not able to extract udev for 
any given period of time?
By the way, you just enhanced my former argument 'systemd vs vsysinit' ;)

We are in a package freeze until the 7.5 release.  We have all of these 
as tickets.  Note that systemd is now at version 210.

The udev-lfs tarball is done manually by me for each release.  The 
package changes too much to automate it.

Coming to the kernel configuration, There could be an explanation. I 
understand you used an Unbuntu 32 bit distribution on a virtual machine 
with 64 bit CPU. Doing that, as Bruce says, you get a 32 bit LFS. But 
the kernel configuration system may have seen the 64 bit CPU, and I 
think that is the source of the problem (from your original post):
-

kernel/bounds.c:1:0: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in
make[1]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 1
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2
-

Can you check that "64-bit kernel" is not ticked when making the configuration 
of the kernel?
Also, if you have run "make defconfig", try instead "make i386_defconfig".

Pierre

[lfs-support] Updates development?

2014-02-27 Thread Frans de Boer
 From last week until yesterday - Wednesday - there where several 
updates like linux-3.13.5, grep-2.17 and 18, psmisc-22.21, bash-4.3 and 
readline-6.3 and of course systemd-209.

In todays online documentation update, all mentioned packages are not 
included. It tried to compile all (except the new systemd) and ended 
without any failure. Of course, some patch files needed to be removed. 
Am I that far ahead or is development behind? ;)

By the way, since I use automated tools I no longer need a specific 
version adaption in my scripts, allowing for quicker re-builds. However, 
I still need to add or remove updated package specifics. Given time, I 
will resolve that too.

Is it possible to publish the extraction tool for udev? That way I can 
check that part too. I am also interested in testing the full systemd 
for the systemd branch, but need more time to delve into it. So, that's 
a future goal.

Regards, Frans.
