I wouldn't bother with Chapter 5.  Just enter chroot and follow the 
instructions in Chapter 6.

Re: [lfs-support] How to upgrade a single package?

2013-01-03 Thread JIA Pei
Hi, Chris:

I understand now.. The reason why I'm asking this question is because
yesterday I was preparing the tools in Chapter 5 using coreutils-8.19, but
today, the SVN manual has already been changed to coreutils-8.20 , however,
I still haven't finished chapter 6 yet...

But, I guess I got what you mean . I found release 7.2 which is also using
coreutils-8.19. I may be able to continue and finish building the whole
system first, before upgrading coreutils-8.19 to 8.20 ...


Cheers

You can't even get a basic LFS system built right, you don't have any 
hope of successfully upgrading anything. Further, you've asked one 
question ("how to upgrade a package") that's answered in the FAQ, and 
another ("how to re-enter chroot") that's answered in the book itself.

[lfs-support] How to upgrade a single package?

2013-01-03 Thread JIA Pei
Hi, all:

sorry for my naive question again.
I now noticed coreutils has been upgraded from 8.19 to 8.20 . I'd love to
upgrade it without rebuilding everything from scratch, but just this single
package.

I can always chroot into the environment required by chapter 6, but how can
I re-enter chapter 5 to prepare the tools coreutils using version 8.20
rather than version 8.19 ?



Cheers
