after moving from lrpkg.cfg to leaf.cfg and the new linuxrc, which I hopefully did right... I found something weird in my backdisk file after manually loading bash using lrpkg -i /disk/bash (/disk being the mount point of my CF)
mhttpd=-t msdos /dev/hda1 webconf=-t msdos /dev/hda1 bash=-t console=ttyS0,38400
It looks like lrpkg did not handle the file system and the device correctly. The reason I believe lies in the lrpkg command which scans for the boot parameter in the command line and tries to find the boot.fstype file too. Is there a more recent version available?
This is a known bug, resulting from the elimination of the boot.fstype file.
It's considered 'cosmetic' (and hasn't been fixed by me) for a few reasons:
- If you actually want to backup a manually installed package, you'll have to specify a backup target. It's not possible for lrpkg to know which of the available targets you'll want to use to backup the pacakge. You could default to the first entry in /var/lib/lrpkg/pkgpath.disks, which should be right most of the time, but might not be the right thing to do all the time.
- Currently, if you try to backup a manually installed package, you get an error (due to the malformed backdisk entry), 'prompting' the user to select an appropriate backup path.
- As soon as you manually specify a backup path in lrcfg, the backdisk file is corrected.
- I haven't had time to re-work lrpkg to extract the backup information from pkgpath.disks if boot.fstype doesn't exist.
There's no newer version available that I'm aware of. If manually setting a backup destination is enough of a problem, feel free to hack on lrpkg. I'll help as time allows.
