Current versions of the project files are built upon versions published
and licensed by Daniel Baumann, but are modified copies of those files and
thus need to be marked as such per licensing requirements (afaik he did
not pass along ownership / licensing rights to anyone when he left the
project). We should also be careful to not be misrepresenting such
modified copies as being attributed to Daniel.
Adding a new copyright line referring to "The Debian Live team" should
suffice for this.
The authorship block in man pages has also similarly been updated.
Notes:
- tweaked a copy of daniel copyright lines stating 2014 instead of 2015.
both of these cases were in files that i had personally introduced in
some of my past merged commits that moved some code around. i don't know
why they stated 2014.
- binary_onie was introduced in 2018, so that has a 2018 date instead of
2016 unlike the rest.
- 'efi-image' is a 3rd-party (Canonical Ltd) work that we bundle, but it
has been modified by 674794a8f4 and
36a3ba7634 so I similarly added a
debian live copyright line.
- 'grub-cpmodules' is similar. it was only changed by the indentation fix
of 36a3ba7634 but modification is
modification, and this does help cover any possible future changes that
might be made.
With the merged /usr feature now enabled in debootstrap, we have
/bin and /lib which are symlinks to /usr/bin and /usr/lib. If
the live-build configuration provides files in
config/includes.chroot/lib/ or config/includes.chroot/bin/ then
lb chroot_includes will replace the /lib or /bin symlink with real
directories having only the content provided in chroot.includes and
problems will follow... the build will usually fail later with a
cryptic error message (for example a hook failing to execute
/usr/bin/env).
Work around the issue by creating a tarball of the files to install
and by unpacking that tarball from within the chroot with appropriate
options.
Previously, we needed to keep the lb_* prefix as the scripts
could also be executed standalone. Since the lb wrapper is
mandatory since squeeze, we can drop this now.
