Re: Little note on psmisc
So, I'm nearly ready to commit a patch to fix up the list of files and libraries for each package. However: And while you're fixing, 2 other notes: genl is installed by IPRoute, but not in the list Hmm, looks like a new program...didn't exist at the time of LFS 6.2. Indeed, and there's no man page for it, and no useful info in --help for it either. I'm certainly not going to go and try to grok the source to figure out what on earth it does. In the same boat as that is groupmems, which is installed by Shadow. Again, no source of info as to what it is supposed to do. Any insight from other list members welcome!

Looks like is related to generic netlinks control and inet socket monitoring,
but I don't know what it actually do.

Again, no source of info as to what it is supposed to do.
This one have a man page. At least it XML source can be found in
{shadow_sources}/man/groupmems.8.xml

Looking at the source and then running `genl -help` I get
$ ./genl -help
Usage: genl [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT | help }
where OBJECT := { ctrl etc }
OPTIONS := { -s[tatistics] | -d[etails] | -r[aw] }
But I have no idea what that means.

Well, something's screwed up with Shadow then (surprise, surprise!):

Can someone with more Automake/Makefile foo explain to me why those 5 man
pages aren't being installed please? It might just be a conincidence, but
they all appear on the same line in the definition of man_MANS in
man/Makefile! Other man sections that shadow installs files to look OK using
a similar script to the one above.
Thanks,
Matt.

After looking also at include/linux/genetlink.h, looks like genl is a tool for
monitoring generic netlink linux sockets (what is that??), similar to what
ip monitor do for devices, addresses, and routes.

I had the same problem, and now I figured out why. The sed we do is
way too aggressive.
find man -name Makefile -exec sed -i '/groups/d' {} \;
In man/Makefile.in, groups appears on the same line as all the other
group* manpages. So, we've conveniently told make not to install them!
This only in a couple subdirectories.
Untested, but I think this would work:
find man -name Makefile.in -exec sed -i 's/groups\.1 //' {} ';'

Seems to work. Before configure, of course. s/Makefile.in/Makefile/ to
keep the command in the spot it is now.

Oops, I corrected this in CLFS six months ago but it seems I forgot to
email LFS-dev as well...sorry...
Anyway, it seems two commands are now needed, due to changes in the
Makefile in the latest Shadow verison. We don't use the find command for
all the various translations in CLFS (though maybe we should) but other
than that it should be the same...here's what we've got...
sed -i '/groups.1.xml/d' man/Makefile
sed -i 's/groups.1//' man/Makefile
Actually, I believe the groups.1.xml line is only in the Makefile in the
man directory so the find should only be needed for the 2nd command...

The following is a bit safer:
find . -name Makefile -exec sed -i 's/groups\.1 / /' {} \;
Otherwise we end up with another change on line 225 of Makefile
where 'groups.1.xml' becomes '.xml'.
Oddly enough, I've ended up with groups.1 being installed on my most recent
jhalfs build. The script seems sane enough (it has the sed in it) - we'll
see what happens with the next run!

Matt.

Netlink is a method of communicating between kernel and userspace I
believe - the netfilter modules use this new technology to replace the
old logging methods. Basically you setup a socket in the kernel, and
then userspace can use that to communicate to a kernel module - this
can be bi-directional and multi-cast too, so you can hang a userspace
process on a netlink socket and receive output from the kernel module
- useful for accounting, audting, etc.
