Heads up: transient jhalfs failure due to missing Expect package and patch

Hi everybody,


The latest LFS SVN trunk version was revised in the last day such that jhalfs won't build against it at the present moment. The reason is that right now LFS points to non-existing locations for the Expect tarball and patch. I would expect (no pun intended) the LFS trunk to get sorted out soon. In the meantime I am using revision 9304 from a couple of days ago.

Regards,
Troy

To use jhalfs, you need the lfs xml.  Just change packages.ent on your 
local system to get jhalfs to work.

Hi Bruce,

I think I'm using jhalfs correctly. The problem is that the urls specified for Expect in packages.ent and patches.xml are invalid. So jhalfs bails out when it checks if it has downloaded the sources and discovers that the Expect tarball and patch are missing. I'd expect (again, no pun intended!) that somebody is going to fix the packages.ent and patches.xml files soon and jhalfs will once again be happy.

Thanks.

Confirmed, there's a extra / in the expect url causing a 404 error when 
attempting to download the package.

It currently looks like this in the book: 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net//expect/expect-5.44.1.15.tar.bz2

I don't think so. The HTML Standard explicitly allows for repeated
slashes, I think.

This is not an error in the book, but in the canonicalization
(or rather, lack thereof) at sourceforge, and should be reported
to them. See, for example,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_normalization

Resolved problem with jhalfs downloading Expect source and patch

The urls for the Expect downloads in the latest LFS book ( subversion revision 8311 ) are  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/expect/expect-5.44.1.15.tar.bz2 and http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/lfs/development/expect-5.44.1.15-no_tk-1.patch.


jhalfs happily downloads both the Expect tarball and patch. The patch wasn't on the linuxfromscratch.org sever when I posted the message yesterday but it is now.

Excuse me, that should be URL, not HTML.
