Speaking of cdrtools, please get the new signing key

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils...1.0.6.tar.sign

The one in Current/source was revoked a while ago.
https://www.kernel.org/signature.html

Pray! delete this as soon as it falls into your mailbox.

Nevermind, kernel.org has version 1.06, current is 1.08.

Wow :) I didn't notice when i build lilo,the compiled binary package didn't include lilo command.

Hello all :) Successfully rebuild all packages with new glibc-2.18

This is an amazing project.
Apart from glibc and gcc, what other packages have you upgraded?
I finished rebuilding my base install with glibc-2.19 and kernel-headers-3.12.15. After that I followed your sum-up the LFS book chapter 6 and dependencies according to salix to get the build order.
There are a few packages that were a bit hard and some I could not or haven't tried to update.
Some examples: gdbm, texinfo, readline, python and a few others.
Could you post which versions you are using and did you use the slackbuilds or did you build/compiled it another way?
I used original slackbuilds as much as possible.

If you upgrade readline to vers 6.3 you need to rebuild bc to work correct.Well i rebuild about 230 packages.Which package versions do you neeed ?

I again rebuild my slackware the past week with the new kernel-headers. I changed the order a little bit and continued up to xorg-server-1.15 succesfully.
There are a few packages I did not update but only rebuild because the change might be to big or they gave me problems I am unable to fix, yet.
A shortlist of rebuild packages I would like to upgrade:

Code:

procps (procps-ng 3.3.8)

bash 4.3

kbd 2.0.1

texinfo 5.2

readline 6.3

man (man-db 2.6.6)

python 2.7.6

binutils 2.24

Of course, upgrading binutils will need a complete rebuild but I still am perfecting/improving the build order for a rebuild so I don't mind to try.
My goal is to have a way of upgrading an existing linux install (here it is Slackware) with currently available buildscript (mostly original slackbuilds I used).
Finding out what is needed for my system to work and being able to update this, if there would ever cease to be support or a big change, is a good feeling.
In the meantime I might help the developers by trying out things they did not thought users might try.

Well i build binutils 2.24,upgrade gmp to 6.0.0 ,upgrade readline to 6.3 ,texinfo to 5.2 ,xorg-server to 1.15.But you need xproto -7.25,you need to build presentproto,you need to upgrade libxcb to vers 1.10,you need to add libxshmfence-1.1 ,add dri3proto,upgrade glproto to 1.47 and then upgrade xorg-server :)

What symlinks do I need to create when I update gmp to 6.0?

Seems a new rebuild is needed on my laptop with all this info.

No you don't need to create any symlinks,just upgrade the package.

Hmm, interesting.. Is there any noticeable performance gain?

Only gmp itself should be a speed-up:
https://gmplib.org/gmp6.0.html

By rebuilding your packages or even upgrading the toolchain and rebuild everything from there, I guess there will be a performance gain. If you are interested in that, you could even change the CFLAGS but I kept them standard. For me the education part is more important.

This is what I am going to try, I already build in this order but only did a rebuild for binutils and gmp. Rest is the same so this hould do the trick.

Code:

U kernel-headers-3.12.15

U glibc-2.19

R zlib-1.2.8

U file-5.17

U binutils-2.24

R oprofile-0.9.7

U gmp-6.0.0a

R mpfr-3.1.2

U libmpc-1.0.2-1

Create symlink:

cd /usr/lib64

ln -s libmpc.so.3 libmpc.so.2

Install gcc-gnat, gcc-go and gcc-java

R gcc-4.8.2

R libtool-2.4.2

R kernel-headers

R popt

R glibc

R binutils

R oprofile

R gcc 

R libtool

@tuxbg:

My previous rebuild had this order but used rebuilds for readline, bash, net-tools, kbd, make, texinfo, man and python instead of updates.
Do I need to alter the slackbuilds for those packages and are there newer packages you are using? I could have made some mistakes and the build-order might not be optimal. I rebuild some packages twice because they depend on eachother according to salix slapt-get dependencies.
I would also like to try out uedev or an extracted udev from a recent systemd tarball. Anyone tried this?

After this I also did a rebuild/update of xorg but I will try to improve the build-order and update even more. If I can get there, everybody can try it out, I will provide detailed steps/slackbuilds. At this point tuxbg's input would help me a lot.
I start with a 14.1 slackel-openbox 6.0 install :).

Could you post your binutils-2.24 buildscript, my attempts are unsuccesfull.
Perhaps you could also provide the slackbuilds for gmp-6.0.0a, readline-6.3 and texinfo-5.2. Unless they are no different from the official ones apart from the version.

Thanks!

I used original ones SlackBuild scripts except readline.And for binutils i use ld.gold to be my deffault not ld.bdf.

ps
Do you want to share my binutils,gmp,readline and texinfo packages ?

Ok, somehow I tried with the official slackbuild for 2.23 but with the 2.24 source, what did you edit? Removed patches, extra sed-commands?
If I manage to upgrade/rebuild my entire system again with even more upgrades, I will try the binaries on a different testbox and then I am planning on trimming down the amount of packages and setting up a repo.
