...and also elfutils requiring 3 extra packages and some patches, just to build.

i found another space eater... /usr/lib/python

ahhh... and building Python with PGO is a mess

but sofar overall its at 2.3G, gonna see how much the kernel modules add

The Musl Python Build w/ PGO: `make PROFILE_TASK="-m test --pgo --ignore 'test.test_re.ReTests.test_locale_caching' --ignore 'test.test_re.ReTests.test_locale_compiled'"`

I'm hijacking the testsuite to ignore failing tests

o_O

see ya

oh boy, ran into a catch 22 ... need to generate a new initramfs to mount the filesystem

Moody: wow that is nice bpa.st/OUHQ

ugg mkpasswd variations :)

the latest changeset to lfs systemd has a date set in the future, is it supposed to be 2025-06-15? linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/systemd/chapter01/changelog.html

it is the june 15, 2025

heh must be a typo

the date actually says 2025-06-25

well the 1 and 2 are beside each other :)

hey

Hey SuperPizza

:)

For sure a typo. Date fixed.

hi

Hello SuperPizza

whyy

Moody: thanks

I'm ready to build systemd (amost), but I can't

I'll use other things...

Do I have a 1GB LFS build???

1,837,594,409 bytes - 741,193,815 bytes (sources)

yep, /usr is 908MiB

post-strip

you could check out mdevd

anyway, there are 2 things missing )mostly)

1 - Init and 2 - kernel

Sup3rPizza: have you checked out my init, and i have tryed busybox too

no?

i have been playing around with init and squashfs

oh. I saw that there's another option to systemd.

cool

i have been using system-v, but you can replace the udevd with mdevd

I know there's eudev too?

yea haven't looked at that yet

i just pushed a couple of new ones i was just testing yesterday.... init-simple

And if you need systemd for some reason, there's another option too, but it lacks a few things.

It seems to not be maintained much currently.

well i did start with a systemd

hmm it looks like my new squashfs without python/test and gcc debug is gonna be small

SuperPizza: i have 2 versions of live iso

okay

cool a cd size 690M

Without the kernel, I had 908 MB total.

you could try it out bit.ly/4l2cyV7

hmm

hmm maybe dropbox isnt good, you have click download

hmm nice just fits: Blocks total: 359849 Blocks current: 359849 Blocks remaining: 6459

just had to add : nomodeset : to the kernel grub line

hi :(

nsITobin: hi some new updates gitlab.com/zed-linuxfromscratch/live-iso :)

man cds are slow

nsITobin: tho i gotta go thru the config and remove the kms modesetting modules

i'll check it out in a little bit

that elderly cat did pass away last night

so its been kinda sucky today

oh. I know this

I had one of our cats die sometime ago.

hopefully it was quick :(

I looked at it, and there are a lot of discussions about GCC15 issues

yea that is why i stuck with gcc14 for the live isos

Almost all packages work OOTB, but Bash needs a beta version, and Musl causes some more packages to fail.

yea i went down to bash 5.2.37 for the iso version cause of issues with rc versions

its nice to have a stable iso that fits on a cd with git, rsync, wget, and a full build suite

nsITobin: the biggest thing is to get a good kernel config for a live iso

zedmatrix: it was a peaceful passing though the process is not quick but he had planned out what he wanted to do and I made sure he got where he wanted but it is tough

this cat had a very distinct presence and personality

if it had been tramatic or was in pain that is one thing but this wasn't that but it was hard.

yea like 8 years or so i lost my spca rescue, its tough

nsITobin: old cat just being old type thing?

damn it has been so nice using the zlfs-chroot script

djph: he had a few problems but this decline happened very suddenly

so what is your recommended kconfig for live compact discs?

nsITobin: aw, shame. Had one cat that just woke up dead on us. That was ... a morning ...

natural death has a distinct process once it begins as long as there is no suffering it is best to let it run its course anything else would just be tramatic

and do whatever you can to make it as comfortable and stress free as possible

nsITobin: yeah, I mean she was fine on sunday(?) night, and then next morning "uhhh, she didn't come running for food... wtf??"

what..

now i just need to check out using the firmware blobs

blobs

love that word

not for this meaning just the word in general

it is fun to say and even type

blob blob blob

or maybe trim this one a bit more and haveit like a minimum cd size builder

possibly have the lfs docs on it

since links works

just get nochunks

tthat way they can just scroll

tho is was so slow coping the squashfs to ram on my hp pavilion using a cd

*it

did some readme work too gitlab.com/zed-linuxfromscratch/live-iso

the major strip > gcc and removing /lib/python/tests

i also removed usr/share/doc

i left the man pages so they would have offline man checks

woah about 5minutes to copy to ram

autotools make no sense to me... They make absolutely HUGE shell scripts/Makefiles, and in one case, it took LONGER to configure than to build the actual package...

lol yea the configure script sometimes runs like 4 -5 times just like in binutils :)

SuperPizza: macros

is why autohell

m4 macros

yea

get a handle on m4 and you can master autohell

but have to admit configure with prefix make make install with destdir is rather nice to have standard almost universally amongst the stuff

and I don't see why configure must do most of what it does. Like, why check if x function or header exists?

SuperPizza: so that it can properly create the makefile ...
