oniguruma 6.4.0

Oniguruma is a regular expressions library. The characteristics of this library is that different character encoding for every regular expression object can be specified.

slang and hence slrn might benefit from this.

Completed in 29.929s.

Tcllib 1.18

Completed in 0.757s.

Exiftool 10.60

Completed in 14.668s.

leafnode-1.11.11

Using http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.3/server/leafnode.html as a guide, and add --with-spooldir=/srv/nntp.

Completed in 25.252s.

Sadly, leafnode is not written as a daemon at all (on the excuse of leaving security to others!), so the only way to run it seems to be to install xinetd just for this, which can be done from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.10/server/xinetd.html.

Install xinetd and set up for leafnode only.

Do not run fetchnews or texpire until changover, create cron jobs for them then. Also leave /etc/leafnode/config missing until then!

BLFS Book xinetd-2.3.15

Needed for leafnode only, from an old BLFS but still the latest released version. No TCP wrappers.

Completed in 25.742s.

Create /etc/xinetd.d.

Install bootscript from matching old BLFS.

leafnode-1.11.11

Copy /etc/xinetd.d/leafnode-nntp from host.

getmail-5.1

Build and install with:

        python setup.py build
        python setup.py install

Completed in 0.297s.

getmail will inherite the existing ~getmail at changeover, test each mail source and recreate the crontab then.

ledger-2.6.3

This is an old version (copied forward from the previous LFS build), which will do very nicely thankyou until a replacement turns up.

Need autoreconf -fi!

Completed in 3m 2.675s.

erwiz-0.9.0

This is the very-little-changed successor to erviz.

Install using:

        install -vd  -m755 /usr/share/erwiz-0.9.0
        cp -vR bin jar /usr/share/erwiz-0.9.0
        install -vd  -m755 /usr/share/doc/erwiz-0.9.0
        cp -vR doc/{examples,htmldoc} /usr/share/doc/erwiz-0.9.0
        ln -sv /usr/share/erwiz-0.9.0/bin/erwiz /usr/bin

libcanlock-3.0.0pre27

A possibly useless library for slrn.

Completed in 12.606s.

slrn-1.0.3

Add --with-canlock=/usr --with-canlockinc=/usr/include/libcanlock-3 . Completed in 35.173s.

Check and test configuration of slrn at changeover.

xapian-omega-1.4.4

Need to add --docdir=/usr/share/doc/xapian-omega-1.4.4 --sysconfdir=/etc.

Completed in 2m 12.835s.

Check config and functionality of omega at changeover.

xapian-bindings-1.4.4

Need to add

        --docdir=/usr/share/doc/xapian-omega-1.4.4

and

        --with-java --with-perl \
        --with-ruby --with-tcl

to ensure that the languages are found by configure - no python since it insiste on having sphinx - no php since the tests fail and I should never need it . Completed in 4m 11.862s.

remind 3.1.15

Apply the following patch:

patch src/custom.h <<EOF

> #define DEFAULT_PAGE {"A4", 595, 842}
EOF

Completed in 17.143s.

Test errors due only to changed paper size!

Copy /usr/share/remind/common from host.

incron-0.5.12

No configure, fix the makefile:

        sed -e '/^PREFIX/s;/local;;' \
            -e '/^INITDIR/s;init;init.d;' \
            -e '/incron.conf[^.]/d' Makefile -i   

(the last edit prevents installing a file which is useless on an LFS system). Completed in 17.474s.

Create bootscript (by copying and editing the fcron file and setting up corresponding links).

Check all incrontabs at changeover.

inotify-tools-1df9af4d6c

Using github head.

First

        sed -e '/AM_CFLAGS/s/-Werror //' src/Makefile.am -i

because the only warning affected is misleading indentation and harmless.


Start with autoreconf -fiv.

Add --docdir=/usr/share/doc/inotify-tools-1df9af4d6c.

Completed in 29.660s.

Password Gorilla

        rm /usr/share/doc/pho-1.0pre1/pho.1

halibut latest

The downloadable version (1.2) is rather old, the latest must be fetched by:

        git clone --recursive git://git.tartarus.org/simon/halibut.git

which creates a directory halibut containing the Git repository embedded in a checkout. Use this to make a halibut release, and then use it.

Add --docdir=/usr/share/doc/halibut-7ed66467ff to the arguments for ./configure .

Completed in 34.719s

Tclkit

Use KitCreator to build - download and expand Fossil Trunk Tip.

Fix build/pre.sh :

    sed '/boot.tcl.h/s///' build/pre.sh -i

and run it to set up the build (0m1.613s).

Build the kit:

    KITCREATOR_PKGS='tk itcl mk4tcl zlib tcllib tls tdom'
    export KITCREATOR_PKGS
    CC=gcc
    export CC
    ./kitcreator 8.6.6 --enable-64bit --disable-threads
    unset CC

(9m4.867s)

Install with:

    install -Dv -m755 tclkit-8.6.6 /usr/libexec/tclkit/tclkit-8.6.6
    ln -sv /usr/libexec/tclkit/tclkit-8.6.6 /usr/bin/tclkit

tDOM-f77454e666

Note:

    cd unix
    ../configure --prefix=/usr

Completed in 43.270s.

This will report itself as version 0.8.3 even though it is from a later point in the Fossil trunk. It is not possible to use the checkin id as a version since the format of a package version is constrained and making up another acceptable number would eventually cause confusion.

TkLib 51a28014e5

There is a ./configure && make install provision, but it does not allow correct directory selection. Instead (as root) do:

        ./installer.tcl -nroff-path /usr/share/man/mann \
            -html-path /usr/share/doc/tklib-51a28014e5 \
            -example-path /usr/share/doc/tklib-51a28014e5/examples \
            -pkg-path /usr/lib/tklib-51a28014e5

MHonArc 2.6.19

Install using

        perl install.me -prefix /usr

and specify /usr/share/doc/MHonArc-2.6.19 for the Doc directory.

xvkbd

No way to build on this system.

awl-0.57

Used by DAViCal.

Install with:

        install -v -dm755 /usr/share/awl
        tar xvf awl-0.57.tar.bz2 -C /usr/share/awl \
            --strip-components 1 --no-same-owner

davical-1.1.5

Install with:

        install -v -dm755 /usr/share/davical
        tar xvf davical-1.1.5.tar.bz2 -C /usr/share/davical \
            --strip-components 1 --no-same-owner

Temporarily activate new postgresql installation and (as postgresql)

        cd /usr/share/davical/dba/
        ./create-database.sh

The above needs Perl modules YAML and DBD:Pg.

The password for the 'admin' user has been set to *****.

Set up /etc/davical/config.php (from example and from host).

Test page and admin login work.

sphinx 1.6.3

Install with

        pip install sphinx

Since it is so easy to install, get it just to have the notmuch manpages!

notmuch-0.25

Built in 1m 10.355s

xdm-1.1.11

Not in BLFS any more, nor strictly necessary, but just sort-of familiar.

Built in 26.803s

And that appears to be the entire list. Of course, something else may turn up.
