http://www.mail-archive.com/lfs-dev< at >linuxfromscratch.org/msg18768.html

Patches are welcome though.


In my opinion, the intro should be fine as it is now. Since the circural 
dependency is mentioned, it should be clear that it should be built from 
dbus source package.

If desired, we can add a note like one on libstdc++ page though.

Patches welcome for this one, too.

A couple of comments about LFS systemd

John Burrell — 2013-06-15T17:38:22

In the systemd branch, you have 

LFS-Network-Scripts (20130518) -
              22 KB:

but it doesn't appear to be mentioned at all in the networking section (may be I missed it)
which is probably just as well as the link:


http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/systemd/lfs-network-scripts-20130518.tar.bz2

is broken.

What are these scripts for?

You've added libdbus in the list of installed packages but you don't mention that the source package is dbus. You could modify the intro at the top of the libdbus page like so:


It is installed, using the dbus source file, to satisfy a circular
          dependency between Systemd and D-Bus.

It would make it clearer for someone meeting this for the first time.

I guess I was right about your mail server not liking my e-mail address. 
Resent.

Matt Burgess — 2013-06-13T21:00:34

There were a few rendering processes still lying around, both of the
systemd branch and trunk.  I've killed those off, and ran the systemd
rendering script which pointed to an issue with it that I've now fixed
up.  A manual run of both the systemd branch and trunk rendering scripts
both completed successfully, so the cron jobs should now keep on top of
things again.

Regards,

Matt.

It appears that systemd book rendering is broken on the server. Matt, 
can you take a look at this? Last rendered version is from 20130529, but 
I've merged some changes after that - it should be 20130610 at least.

Bruce, can you take a look at message I sent you few days ago (your 
server doesn't like my email addresses I guess) which contains partial 
fix for LFS ticket #3350.

Re: Raspberry Pi

Rob Landley — 2013-06-06T04:50:28

Not hugely.

My aboriginal linux project cross compiles the simplest native  
development environment I could make, then boots it under qemu and  
builds things like Linux From Scratch under the result.

   http://landley.net/aboriginal

My automated LFS builder (http://landley.net/aboriginal/control-images)  
is still 6.8 because I haven't had time to update it recently, but it's  
target-agnostic and runs the same on arm, mips, powerpc, and so on.

I do one bit on non-obvious magic:

http://landley.net/hg/control-images/file/63663cdfbe32/common/bootstrap/build-one-package.sh#l31

But only because autoconf is useless and I've used this to build on  
prototype architectures like the Qualcomm Hexagon before they went  
upstream, so the config.guess block copied into each package didn't  
know that one existed.

It's back online with double the RAM (8 GB now). Checking services and 
all that to make sure it's running properly.

Migration is well underway. If the transfer speed doesn't drop from its 
current 93 MB/sec this should be done in about an hour. Fingers crossed.

Re: LFS Server Upgrade

Gerard Beekmans — 2013-06-04T16:40:06

I had to leave town on business and did not have enough time while away 
to take care of this so it's come down to the wire. The maintenance 
window is happening tomorrow starting at 8:00 PM PDT (server's local 
time). This is not ideal. If I initiate the upgrade tonight we will get 
the free RAM upgrade and a shorter outage window.

The virtual server migration is estimated to take 3 hours once it 
starts. I'm going to start this process around 9:00 PM PDT (which is 
around 11:00 PM my own time) so it'll complete overnight.

LFS email shouldn't be affected (backup DNS still runs on the current 
mail server) but websites will be unavailable.

I'll send more info tonight when getting closer to pulling the trigger 
on the upgrade.

File page lists libmagic.a under installed libraries but building the

That's right.

That's why I mentioned running in qemu.  First, load an ARM distro 
inside qemu and then start building using LFS techniques.  At least 
that's the idea.

One step at a time.  A base LFS on new hw like this would take a while 
to figure out.
