--- Begin Message ---Package: di-netbot-assistant Version: 0.36 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch di-netboot-assistant should be able to run as a non-privileged user. * di-netboot-assistant downloads and manipulates data from the network * the tftproot does not actually need to be populated by the superuser * it's often nice to build up a tftproot (or more than one!) on a comfortable machine as a non-privileged user and then rsync it to a canonical tftproot. The attached patch adds a couple of config variables that can be overridden in the config file, and allows the DI_NETBOOT_ASSISTANT_CONFIG environment variable to override the default /etc/di-netboot-assistant/di-netboot-assistant.conf configuration variable. It works for me if a point it at an alternate config file that looks like this: ------------ TFTP_ROOT=~/.di-netboot-assistant/tftpboot DL_CACHE=~/.di-netboot-assistant/cache STATUS_LIB=~/.di-netboot-assistant/lib MIRROR_REGEXPS="s=://ftp.debian.org/=://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/=" ------------- and of course i have to make the subdirectories before the initial invocation: mkdir -p ~/.di-netboot-assistant/{tftpboot,cache,lib} But maybe these directories should be created by the invoker automatically anyway if they don't exist? Thanks for providing this handy tool, --dkg PS the patch also drops an unneeded trailing slash from the default value for DL_CACHEdiff -ruN di-netboot-assistant-0.36/debian/changelog di-netboot-assistant-0.36.1/debian/changelog --- di-netboot-assistant-0.36/debian/changelog 2008-07-23 02:38:08.000000000 -0400 +++ di-netboot-assistant-0.36.1/debian/changelog 2008-10-24 20:58:12.000000000 -0400 @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +di-netboot-assistant (0.36.1) experimental; urgency=low + + * allowing di-netboot-assistant to be run by a non-privileged user. + + -- Daniel Kahn Gillmor <[email protected]> Fri, 24 Oct 2008 20:58:12 -0400 + di-netboot-assistant (0.36) unstable; urgency=low * Implement the command rebuild-menu. diff -ruN di-netboot-assistant-0.36/usr/bin/di-netboot-assistant di-netboot-assistant-0.36.1/usr/bin/di-netboot-assistant --- di-netboot-assistant-0.36/usr/bin/di-netboot-assistant 2008-07-23 02:08:07.000000000 -0400 +++ di-netboot-assistant-0.36.1/usr/bin/di-netboot-assistant 2008-10-24 21:17:32.000000000 -0400 @@ -29,7 +29,9 @@ SYSLINUXMENU=menu.c32 SYSLINUX=/usr/lib/syslinux/ ELILO=/usr/lib/elilo/ -DL_CACHE=/var/cache/di-netboot-assistant/ +DL_CACHE=/var/cache/di-netboot-assistant +STATUS_LIB=/var/lib/di-netboot-assistant +CONFIG_DIR=/etc/di-netboot-assistant TFTP_ROOT=/var/lib/tftpboot REWRITEPKGPATH='\(debian\|ubuntu\)-installer' UMASKOLD=`umask -p` @@ -37,8 +39,8 @@ #MIRROR_REGEXPS=# Not defined on purpose, so user can pass the variable umask 0022 -if [ -f /etc/di-netboot-assistant/di-netboot-assistant.conf ]; then - . /etc/di-netboot-assistant/di-netboot-assistant.conf +if [ -f "${DI_NETBOOT_ASSISTANT_CONFIG:-/etc/di-netboot-assistant/di-netboot-assistant.conf}" ]; then + .
