I guess this probably belongs on -support, but I'll ask here first.
Tried building 8.3, except with a 4.14.67 kernel and headers this
week, on a box which usually runs as a desktop but is temporarily
configured as a server (to check for problems before doing a real
upgrade).
1. /var/lib/hwclock
For some reason /var/lib/hwclock does not exist, so I figured this
must be a kernel .config problem. Went into the kernel, but make
menuconfig moaned that I needed ncurses-dev : there was a similar
fix for 4.19-rc1 in the past day or so. When I built the kernel for
the first time I zcat'd /proc/config.gz to .config and made
oldconfig.
Anyway, all the expected RTC options appear to be present.
Looking at my latest 8.3-rc2 desktop, with 4.18.5, I see that there
too /var/lib/hwclock is missing - the difference is that I haven't
tried to shut that down, I hibernate it.
2. Unable to serve files with apache.
I screwed up the configuration (used to serve from /raid/www/ on my
old test server, but /raid doesn't exist here. Edited the configu
to use /srv/www/books/ and set that, and the directories within it,
to 755 all the way down. Rebooted, but trying to browse to
localhost, or to this machine from a desktop, still gets 403.
3. Cannot use svn+ssh to lfs - I've copied the keys from the old
test server (same as on my real server), and copied an old version
of the BLFS repo (from a few months ago). But svn up fails.
This latter seems critical - no point in me updating.
Sorry to not have time to find this out until we've released.
