[Devil-Linux-discuss] Fixing 1.4x build system

[<gd...@tx...>]

I recently needed to add an app to My Devil Linux 1.4x (previous last update and
 build was ~ May 2011) and while checking the repository packages noticed that
 there were several packages (last ~ Oct. 2011) I needed to update so I did an
 update-src during which I noticed that it downloaded a 3.0 Linux kernel. After
 unpacking I did a make menuconfig to add the app I needed as well as a couple
 of other apps I decided I might need and dropped a few that I no longer needed
 and then through the entire configuration menu. When I got to the menu entry to
 select the kernel revision it only had an entry for a 2.6 kernel. I went ahead
 and did a "make prepare build install iso dist" which failed in prepare because
 it failed to find a (2.6) kernel.

I then did a CVS update using cvs update -d -P which did not produce any error
 messages and then attempted to build it again:

 root:/data/build# make prepare build install iso dist
 mount: proc already mounted
 mount: none already mounted or /sys busy
 mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /sys
 make: Entering directory `/data/build'
 prepare: prepare                      log: /data/build/tmp/LOGS/prepare/prepare
 make: *** [prepare] Error 1
 make: Leaving directory `/data/build'
 make: *** [prepare] Error 1

 root:/data/build# cat tmp/LOGS/prepare/prepare
 ERROR
 The lfssystem you're using is not correct
 Please download version 1.1

I tried to list the projects in the sourceforge repository to see if there were
 separate repositories for the 1.4 and 1.6 versions but the server does not
 support the ls command. I also tried checkout -c and it appeared to show two
 different sets of the same directories (1.4, 1.6 ?) but I have no idea how to
 differentiate between them.

How do fix or I re-install a fully updated DL 1.4 build environment ?

Thanks,
