The easiest thing to do, is first just fork the repo, then: cp beagleboard.org_image.sh custom_image.sh Then edit the "chroot_script" line, so you can run your own chroot customization script.. For example we are calling: ( chroot_script="beagleboard.org.sh" ) https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L342 dump your script here: https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/tree/master/chroot_script The main chroot script does set some sane defaults, https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/scripts/chroot.sh#L289 Just ping us if something is enabled by default that you need off.. Doing that other then just do a git pull everyonce in awhile to get updates.. git pull --no-edit git://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder.git master If your project gets big, i have issues with adding it to the readme.md list like I did with MachineKit then i just randomly pull from those tree when they have updates..
