[lfs-dev] sysvinit 2.94 adds logsave (already installed by e2fsprogs)

Hello all. I noticed that the latest sysvinit 2.94 adds a new program called "logsave." This program was installed previously by e2fsprogs. I don't know if sysvinit's version is any different from e2fsprogs' but I'm sure one of them needs to be removed. Regards, -- Ryan -- http://lists.lin

[lfs-dev] Check doesn't honour "docdir"

Hello all. check-0.12.0 doesn't install the documentation to a versioned directory, even though the "docdir" switch is used. The solution is to specify the directory at the installation phase: make docdir=/usr/share/doc/check-0.12.0 install Cheers, -- Ryan -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.

[lfs-dev] Typo in util-linux (chapter 6)

Hello all. In Chapter 6's Util-linux, there's a line that reads: rm -vf /usr/lib/{blkid,fdisk,mount,uuid}.so* That should be: rm -vf /usr/lib/lib{blkid,fdisk,mount,uuid}.so* Cheers, and keep up the great work! --Ryan -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfr

[lfs-dev] Libcap 2.34 will not install .pc files in correct location

Hello all. Even though Libcap 2.34 has not yet been updated in the LFS book, this is just a heads up: Libcap 2.34 installs the pkgconfig directory under /lib (and not /usr/lib as in previous versions). I diffed the top-level Make.Rules file from both libcap 2.33 and 2.34 and noticed this: [...
