 I don't know if someone really cares about this, but there are packages in
 LFS that still install their man pages into /usr/man, even tough mandir
 has been defined as /usr/share/man in FHS. I know that LFS still makes
 symlinks /usr/man -> /usr/share/man and such, but I think it is time those
 symlinks go away. I found 2 packages which install their man pages into
 /usr/man

 bzip2: Following sed fixes that

 sed -i "s@(PREFIX)/man@(PREFIX)/share/man <at> g" Makefile

 ncurses: Just use --mandir=/usr/share/man

 I'll find some more when I get to them. Don't close this bug untill then.

 New version for the new kernel, release announcement at e.g.
 [http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg199243.html]

 Testing the existing build instructions on a 7.1 system, without
 installing this version,'make alltests' appears to do nothing (maybe
 that's normal, I'm uncertain) and 'make install' barfs because it cannot
 stat arpd.8 in man/man8.

 Adding  sed -i 's/arpd.8 //' man/man8/Makefile allows the install to
 complete.

 Programs as for 3.3.

 procps-ng is a fork that could be found on http://gitorious.org/procps
 used by Debian, Fedora, openSUSE.

 the announce of v3.3.3 release is at
 http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/procps-333-released

 What is better is a standard configure, compilation with less warnings, a
 test suite, some bugs fixed.

 But the package is not distributed bootstrapped actually. The git tree
 with v3.3.3 tag could be downloaded from gitorious or you may wait to pick
 a bootstrapped copy of the package from a distrib that use it (Debian,
 Fedora, openSUSE)[[BR]]

 Due to the non-boostrapped package, that's an issue for LFS build order as
 build before autoconf/automake. I was using debian package and patches
 with 3.3.2.

 Test suite had many issues in 3.3.2 on my configuration. v3.3.3 now work
 for me with a 32-bits kernel and userspace but fail on a 64-bits kernel
 and a 32-bits userspace in one test where free -b give bad values for
 swaptotal.

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Hello,

 I would like to point out several inconsistencies on these two scripts.
 Nothing harmful, and I believe the main responsible is the recent change
 in the Udev engineering regarding the Devtmpfs FS. 

 Mountvirtfs :
 1- For the "Short-Description" & "Description" items, we should have :
 "Mounts /sys, /proc and /dev virtual (kernel) filesystems."

 Udev :
 1- For the "Short-Description", I think it would be more accurate to tell
 : "Populates /dev with additional device nodes."
 2- Same as 1- for log_info_msg in the "start" case
 3- "Description" item should be : "Starts the udevd daemon. Device nodes
 are created as defined by udev."
