Bug#500677: live-helper: update lh_binary_rootfs to better support wildcards in file exclusion

2008-09-30 Thread Frederic Boiteux 
Package: live-helper
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


I'm interested in file exclusion mecanism when building Debian Live
filesystem from chroot. I've looked at 1.0.0-2 live-helper version about
using -wildcards to mksquashfs to achieve this, but it is used only
when LH_CHROOT_BUILD=disabled. I use the default value of this
parameter, enabled (I don't understand what it stands for), and I see
in config :

# ${LH_CHROOT_BUILD: control if we build binary images chrooted
# (Default: enabled)
# DO NEVER, *NEVER*, *N*E*V*E*R* SET THIS OPTION to disabled.
LH_CHROOT_BUILD=enabled

So I didn't change it.

Instead, I've modified a bit the other mecanism set to exclude file in
Debian Live filesystem generation to also support wildcards, so that it
works wichever LH_CHROOT_BUILD's value.

...because if you build chrooted, you can just remove the files, since
the 'temporary' chroot inside the chroot to generate the rootfs is
trashed right after creating the rootfs image anyway.

 I use the default value of this
 parameter, enabled (I don't understand what it stands for)

it controls wheter the host systems tools are used to generate the
rootfs or not.

if you're using the host systems tools, you are possibly tainting the
image if you the host system is not the exact same distribution as the
target system is.

 Instead, I've modified a bit the other mecanism set to exclude file in
 Debian Live filesystem generation to also support wildcards, so that it
 works wichever LH_CHROOT_BUILD's value.

i'll have a look at that in the evening.

It was the missing information, thanks ! I'll indeed keep this parameter
with enabled, as I sometimes generate Live systems for other
distributions.

 
  Instead, I've modified a bit the other mecanism set to exclude file in
  Debian Live filesystem generation to also support wildcards, so that it

I've tested here succesfully.

  with regards,
Fred.
