[lfs-dev] A small patch to make sysklogd work on startup

2020-11-16 Thread Joel Bion via lfs-dev
It's always bothered me that for some time (perhaps as long as I have been using LFS?) that I could not get the kernel symbols properly loaded by sysklogd, producing a message sequence like this: Nov 15 15:45:38 www kernel: klogd 1.5.1, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Nov 15 15:45:38 www

m the line that says iana-etc-20201110.tar.gz - then you get the pre-built protocols and services file. Are these files typically DIFFERENT? I've not seen that before. -Joel On 2020-11-14 06:58, Pierre Labastie via lfs-dev wrote: On Sat, 2020-11-14 at 06:18 -0800, Joel Bion via lfs-dev wrote: The

[lfs-dev] IANA-ETC protocols/services file problems

2020-11-14 Thread Joel Bion via lfs-dev
There's a bit of a mess with protocols/services in the latest builds from IANA-ETC. 1) They require that Python-3 be installed, because you need to generate these files in these latest releases by running a script 'update.py', instead of just being given them in the release. 2) The Python-3

Upgrading Perl was the trigger for me building my own package dependency tracker utility. With tons of manual configuration, I am able to upgrade any subset of packages at one time. It tells me what I need to rebuild, in what order. Some packages trigger no or few rebuilds. Others, like

Re: [lfs-dev] Future for LFS

2020-06-15 Thread Joel Bion via lfs-dev
I must agree with James’ spirit! I got IPv6 (static addresses) working with LFS and gave my changes back - it’s easy to do. And with ARM, the interesting thing about it is that at this point there isn’t much interesting about it. I haven’t built LFS on ARM, but if I did I would probably do

Re: [lfs-dev] Modified build of LFS using pure cross-compilation and sysroot

2020-05-01 Thread Joel Bion via lfs-dev
As a user of LFS, I appreciate the cleanliness of building the “/tools” directory in Chapter 5, for this simple reason: I can pause and log out midway through executing chapter 5, and come back - without worrying about re-establishing a “context” like a chroot in chapter 5 would require. If I

If the upstream decides to use cmake or meson, things have to change anyway. But, each are entitled to their opinion, and the editors will decide. :) Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 4, 2020, at 7:34 AM, Xi Ruoyao via lfs-dev > wrote: > > On 2020-01-03 09:42 -0800, Joel Bion via l

Stick with the x.y.0 is my vote, but my vote is tempered by this uncertainty: usually, when a team declares a “release” there’s a feature freeze, then testing with only bug fixes, etc. in other words, a release is different than a patch. But, is that the case with vim? Or is the “release” just

I agree with what Uwe is saying 100%. IPv6 use is increasing - right now Google is seeing 24.9% of its incoming daily traffic is IPv6, of course a lot of that has to do with mobile devices. But nobody can really ignore it any more. Ubuntu, Fedora/RedHat, Mint, etc. - they all support the

So, to summarize: 1) Allow the syntax for if[up,down] to list multiple interfaces (why not?) 2) For each interface: 2a) process all ifconfig. files - such as ifconfig.eth0, ifconfig.eth0.ipv6 one by one - ignoring both .bak as well as ones ending in ~. 2b) at the end, perform any needed link
