It's been broken for years, and nobody has complained, so I'd say
it is not useful. If a user wants to use a mirror instead of upstream,
better use a wget-list directly on this server...
If all cores are used, it should be set to 0, which will use nproc
after the cpuset has been defined, and not nproc (which is the number
of cores/threads on the machine).
Previously, the "update" target was just added to the end of
the "all" target prerequisites, so that it was run at the end.
But now, we enter make with some -j value in MAKEFLAGS, so that
the "update" target may well be run before the other targets, which
is wrong: for example if it is run before the "xxx-z-libxslt" target,
xsltproc is not found and the update target fails.
To fix, define "update" as the default target, and have it depend
on "all".
- do not try to copy downloaded files to $SRC_ARCHIVE: they may
belong to another user, and so be non writable.
- trunk/BOOK is not used anymore in BLFS/Makefile
- do not make update a second time
The tracking file is needed for gen_pkg_book.sh as a first argument.
Since it is called to generate the initial scriptlets, it needs
to be passed the full path of the tracking file, including
$BUILD_DIR. The $TOPDIR is now the second argument (and still
needs to be passed too).
Now gen_pkf_book.sh depends on trackfile. This can be passed
as an argument, but to ease calling it standalone, we need to
set the default to the actual file used.
- Replace the menu system with the Kconfiglib, which has an ISC license
- Remove farce and any reference to it
- Rewrite the copyright notice, add the LICENSE files
- Adapt Config.in and a few other programs to the new menu system
with LFS pacakges. But packages installed only in tools should not be in
this database. As a side note, it would be cleaner to use an xsl stylesheet
for that.
Add instructions to copy to SRC_ARCHIVE in func_install_blfs, so that files
are kept in host repo, and not downloaded again, should a new build be
started.
when the user fstab and/or kernel config are the same as the ones in
$BUILDDIR/sources: avoid to cp on itself
- set SRC_ARCHIVE=/dev/null in BLFS tools download script if SRC_ARCHIVE is
empty
- Remove the download part of the book instruction for cacerts
- Separate download and md5sum instructions in "download-script" generation,
so that packages with no md5sum can still be downloaded.
- Add --preserve-timestamps when copying the local BLFS book working copy
so that if the book has already been validated it is not validated again
- Some scriptlet changes are not needed anymore
