Hi all,
I reconstructed BLFS as it stood right before the LFS/BLFS-7.4 freeze in August 2013 - the "BLFS-7.3" that never got a numbered release, since the project jumped straight from 7.3 to 7.4.
The reference point is Bruce's "Planning ahead" mail from August 3, 2013:
https://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/sympa/arc/blfs-dev/2013-08/msg00049.html
That mail says both books were already caught up and complete as of that date, with the freeze starting August 15 and gcc/binutils/glibc locked for the duration. I pulled the book and patches from the project repos at the commits immediately after that mail (Aug 4, 2013), so this is the exact state the mail describes as finished - built against LFS-7.3's toolchain (gcc-4.7, kernel-3.8.1), not the 4.8.1/3.10.10 toolchain BLFS-7.4 was later re-verified against.
Book, readable: https://daniil-gusev.github.io/blfs-7.3-reconstruction/
Repo (patches, source package tables with checksums, provenance/commit info): https://github.com/daniil-gusev/blfs-7.3-reconstruction
All checksums in the book and tables are the original 2013 ones. Some of the original download links are dead by now, so I replaced the dead ones with working mirrors in the package tables - checksums stay the same, so you can still verify you got the package that was current in 2013.
Note: I haven't actually built the system from this yet, so I can't confirm everything compiles cleanly end to end. This is the book/sources reconstruction, not a verified build report. If anyone tries it and hits problems, or spots something wrong in the commits/provenance, let me know.
Daniil
