Package: hal
Version: 0.5.9.1-2
Severity: minor
Hi,
I think it would be useful to be able to install hal in a chroot, this
currently fails when the host already runs hal. IMO the same logic as
udev could be useful here:
chrooted() {
if [ "$(stat -c %d/%i /)" = "$(stat -Lc %d/%i /proc/1/root 2>/dev/null)" ];
then
# the devicenumber/inode pair of / is the same as that of /sbin/init's
# root, so we're *not* in a chroot and hence return false.
return 1
fi
echo "A chroot environment has been detected, udev not started."
return 0
}
[...]
case "$1" in
configure)
[...]
if [ -z "$2" ]; then # first install
[...]
if ! chrooted; then
enable_udev
fi
...
The use case are:
- satisfying build-deps (which might directly list hal or stuff
depending on hal for other reasons)
- creating chroots in order to prepare filesystem images (this popped
up on the dev at moblin.org list:
