Package realtek-firmware 20240909-2 migrated to testing/trixie. The
removal of firmware-realtek-rtl8723cs-bt in #1085075 has not taken place
yet, so the workaround needs to be applied to trixie too.
There is a file conflict in the non-free-firmware realtek packages,
which prevent the sid live images from being built.
This workaround will be removed a soon as the bug is resolved.
* zsync was orphaned 2021-09-19 #994648
* zsync FTBFS with GCC-14 #1075710
* zsync was only available for iso and iso-hybrid
* zsync output is ignored by the live-setup package which generates the
official live images
Work together with Emanuele Rocca during MiniDebCamp Hamburg 2024
* rebuild: New command line option: --architecture
* installer: Enable the GTK installer
* bootloader: Set a default bootloader
* no qemu-binary in chroot
This makes the default value of --parent-debian-installer-distribution
the same as --debian-installer-distribution, like the other
--parent-distribution-* options.
This previously undocumented value for '--chroot-filesystem' creates the
uncompressed folder 'live/filesystem.dir'.
This will speed up the generation of live images a lot, because the
squashfs compression is skipped.
Example command line:
lb config -b hdd --chroot-filesystem plain --binary-filesystem ext4
Notes:
- No bootloader is configured; images must be booted via direct kernel
- Tested via qemu + opensbi fw_jump.elf + kernel/initrd
- As riscv64 is currently in ports, the following options are required:
--distribution unstable
--mirror-bootstrap http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/
--security false
--debootstrap-options --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg
- Normally ports require stacking two dists, unstable and unreleased.
debootstrap does not support doing this, but as of this writing, there
is nothing in riscv64 unreleased which is required to bootstrap.
However, this would not have been possible a year ago.
There are two main scenarios:
1) The host with live-build is configured to use a proxy
This proxy will automatically be used by live-build
2) The user of live-build explicitly specifies a proxy
2A) With the environment variable 'http_proxy' (preferred)
2B) With the command line option --apt-http-proxy
Any inconsistency in the setting of a proxy results in an error message of 'lb config'
All internal tools (apt/apt-get/aptitude, wget and debootstrap) use the environment variables 'http_proxy' and 'no_proxy', which are passed along to the chroot where needed.
Test scenario:
- A virtual machine with all out-going traffic blocked, except for the proxy.
MR !173 removed the export of several variables moving/renaming them.
Continue to export both the new name and older compatibility name.
Closes: #992572
1) lb config rejected multiple checksum types
2) When using the installer, cdrom-checker requires a md5 checksum file,
use 'Check the integrity of the installation media' in the installer
3) The comments in the first lines of the checksum files caused
cdrom-checker to fail the integrity of the image
Moved includes.chroot to includes.chroot_after_packages and added
includes.chroot_before_packages. includes.chroot does still work as before.
We also now use rsync for copying files if it is installed.
This improves runtime and space consumption for large includes.
Gbp-Dch: Short
Closes: #927128
We want to be resilient to small network hiccups and when you download
a large number of packages, the probability of a network hiccup are
increasing... as are the chances of hitting one of the apt bugs
(cf "Undetermined error"...).
