For some reason, replies to this mail are dated earlier than the
original post. But I have seen all.
I am to far away from editing now to have any advice about LFS #5785.
But I think jhalfs is suboptimal in this case, because the test cannot
be disabled. It is easy to add the possibility to disable this
"mismatch test" (recall that it is detecting a mismatch between
extracted directory version and package version. This test is handy to
detect errors in the book, but almost of no use to non editors.)
Actually, there is a "TODO" comment in jhalfs, telling to add the
possibility to set "TEST_MISMATCH" during configuration. So I'll do
that... This will be an "all or none" option. Disabling the test for
only specific packages is more difficult, and maybe not worth the
hassle. But I am open to other views...
