Bootstrapping LFS 12.2 (SystemD) with RPM
|
|
|
|
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This git contains the RPM spec files and text sources/patches not retrievable
|
|
|
|
|
|
easily from a hyperlink for RPM bootstrapping my LFS 12.2 SystemD system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The is ‘Phase Four’ of [`THE-PLAN.md`](THE-PLAN.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many of the spec files are ported from my previous (incomplete) RPM bootstrap of
|
|
|
|
|
|
my LFS 11.3 SysV Init system but due to a hard drive failure, some of those RPM
|
|
|
|
|
|
spec files were lost and I need to start over.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The RPM spec files committed today (20 October 2024 UTC) all build *except* for
|
|
|
|
|
|
the GCC RPM which is being worked on. With GCC, currently there are installed
|
|
|
|
|
|
files that need to be put into the correct place. Also, I need to add `m2` to
|
|
|
|
|
|
the list of compilers and create a sub-package for it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Perl spec file builds packages but needs to be split up into lots of smaller
|
|
|
|
|
|
packages. For RPM bootstrapping, that does not matter. That is a lot of tedious
|
|
|
|
|
|
work but the value is a small bug fix in a bundled module can then be updated
|
|
|
|
|
|
via RPM without needing to rebuild all of Perl.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GLibC spec file has a bug. Other packages detect they need `rtld(GNU_HASH)`
|
|
|
|
|
|
which I believe is provided by GLibC but the packaging of GLibC does not detect
|
|
|
|
|
|
that it provides it. I could auto-specify that it provides it, but part of me
|
|
|
|
|
|
wonders if there actually is a runtime dependency for RPM missing that prevents
|
|
|
|
|
|
RPM from automatically picking up that GLibC as compiled?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, `binutils` is compiled with `--enable-default-hash-style=gnu` and clearly
|
|
|
|
|
|
it is working as RPM detects `rtld(GNU_HASH)` as a needed dependency, but for
|
|
|
|
|
|
whatever reason, the RPM build of GLibC does not auto-detect that GLibC is
|
|
|
|
|
|
providing it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many of the spec files undoubtedly need work. Many undoubtedly have missing
|
|
|
|
|
|
`BuildRequires` and other packaging mistakes.

Duplicate Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, LFS/BLFS does not compress man or info pages. By default, RPM uses
|
|
|
|
|
|
gzip compression on man and info pages. Thus when RPM bootstrapping an LFS
|
|
|
|
|
|
system, you will likely end up with two copies of each man and info page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The shell script [`remove_duplicates.sh`](remove_duplicates.sh) can be used to
|
|
|
|
|
|
remove the duplicates. Run it once a day or so during the RPM bootstrap process,
|
|
|
|
|
|
definitely after installing RPM packaged Perl for the first time.
