Looking at the instructions for fop, we download fontbox-2.0.11.jar.
But I don't understand the command to copy this :
cp ../{pdf,font}box-2.0.11.jar fop/lib
What is this pdfbox-2.0.11.jar ? Is this just a typo for
'cp ../fontbox-2.0.11.jar fop/lib' ?

I guess this probably belongs on -support, but I'll ask here first.
Tried building 8.3, except with a 4.14.67 kernel and headers this

configured as a server (to check for problems before doing a real

Took a while, I didn't see any point in doing it until another
top-level module was added (DateTime::Calendar::Julian in this case)
and that had a lot of dependencies.
I will note now that for some of the early modules
I've just started to look at this, and I've got a query about the

Digging my way through the perl modules, I've got to libwww-perl.
At the moment, we have it as a "first class" module (i.e. we keep
track of new versions). But looking at what uses it, AFAICS it
should be "demoted" (i.e. only used as a dependency).
Looking at the book's source I can see that URI

First, my apologies for not noticing that the shared lib did not get
reinstalled when I disabled the static lib.
I think cmake has been a bad move from beginning to end, and even
though most of the idiocies have by now been worked out, from time
to time cases like this one emerge.

I've now made some fixes to the perl modules branch, and uploaded
up-to-date rendered versions of the book to
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ken/perl-changes/
Since my previous announcements, the following things have changed:
1. Dependencies have been updated for DateTime::Locale,
One of the things which has gradually begun to upset me while
reworking the perl modules is that we head each module's section
using the form of the name with double-colons, but then follow it
with the version number, e.g. DateTime::Locale-1.22 instead of
DateTime-Locale-1.22.

I tried using clang - as I said, in the beta I used
last weekend it saved a lot of space in the build, but now it FTBFS
so whether or not it would save any disk space is irrelevant.
Of course, their version of clang might be different (if so, probably
older).

I think I'm going to upgrade the book to rustc-1.32.0 this week.
For people who don't follow -book, this has been as much pain as
with some previous versions, and I need to do a lot more testing and

required - both of them turned out to be affected by the
side-channel vulnerability, see
Picking up on recent changes:
1. fdk-aac-2.0.0
Tim reported that this breaks ffmpeg-4.0.2 and attached a patch.
