Ah okay.

Also this thread can be used for all final system test suite issues.

I think my next commit will be moving shadow before coreutils.
Thanks to Martin and Chris for their input as well.

I was planning on doing that, and have been thinking about it for the  
last few builds I have been doing as far as testing the book for  
stability and no build errors.

I haven't tackled test suites, yet.

I have recently been using jhalfs (which doesn't like pkg-config or  
udev in our build as it doesn't create the Makefile properly to  
extract and remove the dirs) to log installed files and test suites  
and build logs, we need to start populating our test logs to our  
server, so if you have a full build of test logs from the final  
system, explain which CPU you were using and provide them as a  
compressed attachment or a place to download and I'll put them into  
the proper place on meander for others to look at.


Sincerely,

WIlliam Harrington
