This is my logging problem. A while ago, I reworked my logging to get a list of everything "interesting" before a package was built, and again after. This uses a long pipeline to exclude things which are not interesting (in chroot I build in /building, log in /logs and keep internal markers in /misc). I also use ls -l on all the files of interest, to get changes.
What seems to be happening is that grep-2.23 used with -v discards too much, grep-2.22 was ok. There is a run just before each package, and another at the end. When I completed chapter 5 I did not pay much attention to the screen, I merely checked that it had all completed - but I think that there was no problem there (the logs contain both programs and symlinks, e.g. xz shows /tools/bin/lzcat - symlink, and /tools/bin/xz - program) I then left it building chapter6, with a command to suspend when that script finished. Came back to it this afternoon, saw error messages interspersed with the normal messages telling me what it was doing, e.g. testing man-db-2.7.5.tar.xz km_identify: directory is man-db-2.7.5 ls: cannot access 'Binary file (standard input) matches': No such file or directory configure make check install ls: cannot access 'Binary file (standard input) matches': No such file or directory At first I thought these messages were just an annoyance, but on looking further I discovered that files (but perhaps not symlinks) in /bin and /usr/bin were not being listed. When I completed chapter 5 I did not pay much attention to the screen, I merely checked that it had all completed - but I think that there was no problem there (the logs contain both programs and symlinks, e.g. xz shows /tools/bin/lzcat - symlink, and /tools/bin/xz - program) My commands have evolved, the listing comes down to the following, reformatted to one part per line with numbers added at end find -H / -xdev -type f -o -type l | \ # 001 sed 's%^/mnt/lfs%%' | \ # 002 grep -v '^/logs' | \ # 003 grep -v '^/misc' | \ # 004 grep -v '^/building' | \ # 005 grep -v '^/tmp' | \ # 006 sed 's/\x20/\\\ /g' | \ # 007 xargs ls -l | \ # 008 sed 's%\([^/]*\)\(.*\)%\2 \1%' # 009 Taking the files present after xz has been installed in chapter 6, I ran those commands to produce output in /tmp : first only the find (list001], then find and sed [ list002], and so forth. When I got to adding the xargs command I saw the error message ls: cannot access 'Binary file (standard input) matches': No such file or directory so I tried adding 2>/dev/null and confirmed that silenced it and threw nothing away. But that is a side issue - without the message, I would not have looked. All is fine in the first two steps, but removing any line which starts '/logs' does far more. root in chroot /# wc -l /tmp/list002 /tmp/list003 37121 /tmp/list002 1495 /tmp/list003 and the diff starts: --- /tmp/list002 2016-02-15 20:38:16.966065542 +0000 +++ /tmp/list003 2016-02-15 20:38:39.717790746 +0000 @@ -1492,35630 +1492,4 @@ /usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/iso8859-4.txt /usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/utf/utflist /usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/utf/ethiopic -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/utf/<E2><99><AA><E2><99><AC> -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/utf/utfdemo -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/utf/README -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/kbd.FAQ-21.html -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/iso8859-6.txt -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/kbd.FAQ-9.html -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/kbd.FAQ-1.html -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/kbd.FAQ-17.html -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/kbd.FAQ-13.html -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/kbd.FAQ-16.html -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/iso8859-14.txt -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/iso8859-1.txt -/usr/share/doc/kbd-2.0.3/iso8859-10.txt and finally gets to -/bin/cat -/bin/cp -/bin/bzcat -/bin/lsattr +Binary file (standard input) matches Can anybody confirm this sort of problem with grep-2.23 ? Or am I misusing those grep -v commands ? FWIW, the final sed rearranges the fields so that the filename comes first - that aids the comparison. -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
