[lfs-dev] Non-zero test result in acl

2014-04-01 Thread Ken Moffat
Since acl is now in the book, I decided to run its tests. I rather wish I hadn't (my scripts do not lend themselves to keeping the build directory around, and then going back to it later), but in case anyone else is tempted to try this I'm reporting that I got a non-zero return code, which

I've now got to section 8.3, and as-expected I need to change my kernel config from what I've been using, if I hope it will support booting with systemd. But I'd like to query if a few of these settings really are necessary, and also to suggest that we ought to distinguish between what is
