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.

First instruction.
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.
Shouldn't have to reboot: '/etc/init.d/httpd restart' should do it
Did you look at /var/log/httpd/*.log ? Sounds like a permissions
problem to me, but it could be configuration.
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.
Just get 'ssh higgs.linuxfromscratch.org' to work. That's what svn is
doing under the hood (bonnet?).
That should really only rely on what is in ~/.ssh
In ~/,ssh/config. I have:
# Global
ServerAliveInterval 45
ServerAliveCountMax 10
Protocol 2
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/<key name>
Host *.linuxfromscratch.org
User <logname>
