[Devil-linux-develop] Possible to build util-linux earlier?

[Stefan E. <ma...@en...>]

Hi,

for our firewall distribution I tried to upgrade apcupsd to the latest
release (3.14.8) and stumbled over a problem cause by /usr/bin/col of
the LFS system (lfssystem-SVN-20070314). This version seems to be a
little bit too old and has problems dealing with some characters when
generating the man pages of apcupsd.

/usr/bin/col can be found in the package util-linux. util-linux already
gets build and installed in the underlying LFS system, but this is late
in the build order. To work around my problem I moved util-linux from
GROUP_24 to GROUP_17 and adjusted the dependency of util-linux to
GROUP_16 in Makefile.build.

Is it possible to change this in Makefile.build or are there any
problems when using a current version of util-linux during the early
stages of the build process?

Regards,
Stefan
