Hello. I have manually completed two LFS builds before now (on amd64 and on Raspberry Pi, based on http://intestinate.com/pilfs/), just so you know I'm not a total noob! :)
I'm trying ALFS for the first time. I'm trying to build LFS (System V) 8.0 because that is the highest version that is described as being compatible with jhalfs-2.4, according to http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/alfs/wiki/SupportedBooks The main problem is jhalfs can't download this file because it doesn't exist: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/8.0/lfs-bootscripts-20150222.tar.bz2 I think this URL is coming from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/8.0/wget-list which I'm guessing ends up being used to generate my local file /mnt/build_dir/sources/urls.lst (?) When I use my browser to look at the directory http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/8.0 ... I see lfs-bootscripts-20170626.tar.bz2 instead. But when I look in wget-list in that same directory, it specifies downloading http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/8.0/lfs-bootscripts-20150222.tar.bz2. So I'm thinking that is a bug, but I'm not sure how to correct this problem in the jhalfs-2.4 build process. What should I do? Is there some way to hack the build process to use the 20170626 version of the file, or do I need to find the 20150222 version from somewhere else? Incidentally, the following URL is giving me a 500 Internal Server Error. (Maybe a temporary outage?) http://www.multiprecision.org/mpc/download/mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz I found the following instead, and it hashes to the same md5 checksum: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpc/mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz I just threw that in my $SRC_ARCHIVE, so I'm not worried about this one so much. Just thought the maintainers would want to know. Thanks in advance for any help. LFS is an awesome educational resource! - Don
