Hint update cryptrootfs part 1

This is a resubmit as the list moderator has obviously not reviewed my
submission dated 9 April 13. It is being held because of its size, so
I'm braking it into two parts.

Original message:

I have updated my hint on how to encrypt the file system on an (B)LFS
machine. Major changes include an adjustment to LFS 7.2 (I know the
latest version is LFS-7.3, but I just can't keep up with the spare time
I have.)
Also, the scripts have been removed from the hint and into attachments.
The locations of the attachments need to be changed in the hint.

Please find attached the hint and all attachments.

Cheers,
Lars

Installing and using pacman as a package manager for LFS

SYNOPSIS: Installing and using pacman as a package manager for LFS

DESCRIPTION: This hint tells you how to add a basic pacman setup to LFS
and provides some tips on using it. It assumes that you are in the process
of building a LFS system or are willing to rebuild it, but it could apply
to a working system with modification. It is for people who intend to build,
use, and maintain a LFS/BLFS system over some period of time. There isn't
much use for package management if you don't.

PREREQUISITES: You should have built the LFS at least once. You need enough
general Linux knowledge to solve typical system setup issues. Building and
installing packages with a package manager will require changes to the book
directions, occasionally substantial changes. It is not that difficult, but
expect some trial and error and browsing for answers to be necessary. I
assume you can easily edit text files on the LFS partition as you are doing
the hint; how you do that is up to you. Read and understand the hint before
starting it.

HINT:

General notes:
The information herein is based on my opinion/understanding of things. I
could well be wrong in places, or your ideas could differ. I used the
development version of LFS as of 7.3, and the latest sources of the pacman

su in more control and pkg man hint

Hi,

Hint
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/more_control_and_pkg_man.txt
needs a little correction i think.

In section '6. Pre-Chroot Phase (Chapter 5)' informations about su and
coreutils are outdated. From about year coreutils dont provide su.
Program su is now in package shadow in LFS Book.

After install all packages from Chapter 5 i suggest to install
additionaly package shadow with instructions from Chapter 6 (without 'mv
-v /usr/bin/passwd /bin' and configuration)

I modify only 'configure' switches. They should be:

 ./configure --prefix=/tools --sysconfdir=/tools/etc

Next in Chapter 6 after chroot and before install first package some
files related to shadow must be copied:

cp -r /tools/etc/default/ /etc/ 
cp /tools/etc/{limits,login.access,login.defs} /etc/

Hint Submission: How to install Systemd on LFS

_AUTHOR:_ Chris Wagner <wagnerlia-lists at yahoo.com>

_SYNOPSIS:_ How to install Systemd, an alternative system and service
            manager, on LFS

### DESCRIPTION:

I wanted to better understand the inner workings of systemd. Just having
finished a LFS install on a test server, I thought LFS 7.2 might be a
good basis for this. My goal was to eventually replace SysVinit
completely with systemd. I fully expected lots of things to break, but
was pleasantly surprised, that getting systemd to work was not all that
hard. I started out with a guide from Lemon Lime which he posted on this
list a year ago. Because LFS 7.2 is using a customized non-standard
installation of Systemd/Udevd, additional steps were required. Systemd
has matured quite a bit since last year and more distributions are using
it, among them Arch Linux. Having lots of unit files available from
other distributions, makes the switch a lot easier. 

I have everything working on my test server with a Plone CMS installed
and find the built-in monitoring and logging capabilities of systemd
quite remarkable. Bootup and shutdown times are considerably faster than
with SysVinit. The following guide was put together as I documented the
steps I took, and is intended help others to get started with systemd. I
have put it in a similar format as instructions in the BLFS book to make
it easier to apply. 

Re: a hint

Hi,

I don't remember what was the answer for my last message with this
subject. So I decided to submit you the hint project attached. Don't
hesitate to review it as it's a translation into English. If you accept
it, I'll put online the French release after the English one release.

Please tell me if you Refuse it and why.

Best regards,

DESCRIPTION :

Hint update - cryptrootfs, adjust to lfs-7.1

After many headaches, I've upgraded my system to lfs-7.1, so here's the new crypt-rootfs hint in diff -aur
and as the new version.

SYNOPSIS: How to setup an encrypted file system including the rootfs.

DESCRIPTION:
This describes one possible way of encrypting your hard drive, including the
root file system. It is intended for experienced users and tries to
circumnavigate the pitfalls of encrypting your root file system in a
straightforward way.

PREREQUISITES:
This hint requires that you have sufficient knowledge of BeyondLinuxFromScratch
and reasonably up to date software. You must be comfortable building software,
finding, reading and understanding other pertinent documentation.
You must know how to set up an initramfs. (See
'filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt' in the kernel's documentation.)
You must be aware why you'd want an encrypted file system and you must
understand the nature of the threat you're trying to protect yourself against.

more control helpers

Hi,

1. Link to attachments in line 20 is
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/attachments/more_control_and_pkg_man/more_control_helpers.tar.bz2
should be
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/ATTACHMENTS/more_control_and_pkg_man/more_control_helpers.tar.bz2

2. Script $LFS/etc/pkgusr/build does not support xz compression. There
should be additional line 55:

z*.tar.xz)  dir=$(tar tJf "$archive" | grep / | head -n 1) ; tar xJf
"$archive"  ;;
