Since commit fdc9250bc (Changing package dependency checks within chroot
to work outside as well), Check_package automatically checks for
LB_BUILD_WITH_CHROOT and works inside as well as outside of the chroot,
so no need to check LB_BUILD_WITH_CHROOT before calling them.
Install_package and Remove_package are just a no-op when building
without chroot, so they can also be called unconditionally.
Restore_cache and Save_cache do not check LB_BUILD_WITH_CHROOT but it
it should not hurt to call them when not needed (which already happened
in some cases).
This commit makes all Check_package calls unconditional on
LB_BUILD_WITH_CHROOT.
For binary_syslinux, this fixes the check (which used outdated paths
outside the chroot since 7b6dfd9d1), for binary_grub-efi,
binary_package-lists and chroot_package-lists this simplifies the code
(but also causes the check to become package-based instead of file-based
on apt-based systems), and for binary_loadlin and binary_win32-loader
this adds the check outside the chroot which was previously missing.
Previously, Check_package would only show an error when host packages
are missing on a non-apt system. On apt system, the packages would be
added to _LB_PACKAGES, which causes them to be installed in the chroot,
not in the host (or not at all if Install_package is not called). This
behaviour could break the build.
This applies to either packages that must be present in the host (as
checked with `Check_package host ...`), as well as packages that can be
either in the chroot or host (as checked with `Check_package chroot`)
when LB_BUILD_WITH_CHROOT=false.
Recent versions of Linux, parted or some other bit of software cause
partition devices, like /dev/loop0p1 to be created when running parted
mkpart. However, these devices are not cleaned up when running
losetup -d to remove /dev/loop0 later, so they linger around and confuse
mkfs (which refuses to make a filesystem, thinking there are partitions):
mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24)
mkfs.vfat: Partitions or virtual mappings on device '/dev/loop0', not making filesystem (use -I to override)
To prevent this behaviour, pass --partscan to losetup when adding a new
partition, to clean up any lingering partitions. It seems losetup does not
accept --partscan when deleting a loop device, to clean up at that point, but
since binary_hdd mounts the partition last, there should not be any lingering
partition devices after live-build is done.
The --partscan option is available since util-linux 2.21 (released in 2012), so
it should be fairly safe to pass it unconditionally.
* Use only long kernel names.
* Put advanced options in a submenu.
* Use distro-agnostic labels.
* Don't generate entries with kernel version when we have a single
version.
This option lets you use an alternate bootstrap script when running
debootstrap. Thanks to Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd@debian.org> for the initial
patch.
