Previous changes enabled gzip compressed Linux kernels, but not 100%
sure that it works on all systems. Disable this compression for now.
Switch hppa to use xorriso by default instead of mkisofs. Xorriso
supports kernel command lines to be up to 1023 bytes, better than
mkisofs. mkisofs only supports the older palo version 4 header format
which can hold only 127 characters which might be too small.
Call cpp directly on our input task file instead of using it in a
pipeline. Not clear why this was ever done, and it obscures errors
like ENOENT (if the specified task file is missing).
Use "apt-cache show" instead of "dumpavail" in the Makefile.
Using "dumpavail" dumps all packages, while we're only interested in one
specific package. This wasts a log of cycles and time when many packages
need fixing.
Use "show $pkg" to directly dump only the requested package.
Use "--no-all-versions" to show only the candidate for installation.
Closes: #759343. Thanks to Philipp Hahn for the patch.
The correct path for debootstrap code is /usr/share, not /usr/lib; use
that and assume it now.
Cope with the $(CODENAME) script not existing, and create a symlink to
sid where necessary. Just found in jessie - debootstrap needs
updating.
--no-check-gpg option; we're not going to support debootstrap versions
so old that they don't support this flag, *and* the dpkg-query call
doesn't give us the right version anyway - we're using an extracted
copy from the archive, not the one that (might be) installed on our
build machine.
Use ARCHIVE_KEYRING_PACKAGE and ARCHIVE_KEYRING_FILE parameters
and always use the unpacked keyring instead of the system-wide one.
Thanks to Robert Spencer <rspencer@lbsd.net> for the patch.
+ Makefile: Add support for overriding the MKISOFS and MKISOFS_OPTS
variables on a per-arch basis
+ CONF.sh: add working examples for this
+ tools/boot/squeeze/boot-x86: if configured to use xorriso, add the
extra command line options to add the isohybrid MBR. Also work
around a difference in ISO directory naming between genisoimage and
xorriso.
