First, it's perfectly fine to ask about problems building the dev book on this list. But, based on what I note below I'll Cc: the -dev list because I didn't expect this. > Thanks, > > Nate > > File path: > > http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/development/lfs-bootscripts-20170626.tar.bz2 > > Supposed Correct Hash: > > 4d886e7f5c3b092991cd0c56f3d8aa31 > > Listed at: > > http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter03/packages.html I wonder if we have somehow switched to regenerating these ? My local copy (downloaded on 19th July) has c8c20c854d7590662ae04f21949566ea The 8.1 book, which uses these, says d4992527d67f28e2d0c12e3495422eab and my last local svn version (20171219) says 18d03cfa9259542b918cc14c43bdaa9e Looking at the files in trunk/BOOK I have that tarball there, with that (18d0...) md5sum. Comparing the extracted files, nothing has changed but the tarballs are very different. Hmm, extracting both local tarballs, and running ls -lR, I can see that some timestamps differ, e.g. lfs/init.d is dated 29th June in my last local version, but 19th July in trhe earleir version. Similarly the dates of checkfs vary by 10 days, and for cleanfs by 24 days. That is bizarre. I first suspected that for some reason we have changed to recreating this tarball even when nothing has changed. But I'm surprised nobody has commented on this before, at least as far as I remember. But those random date variations (both dates for cleanfs are in 2012) look very odd. ĸen -- Truth, in front of her huge walk-in wardrobe, selected black leather boots with stiletto heels for such a barefaced truth. - Unseen Academicals -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
