Hi Benoit, Hi all!
Upon Benoits request, I file a few points in this (rather old) thread...
Mainly, my focus: The ISO generation scripts:
We currently have a set of scripts once written by Benoit. A few points I
don't actually like about them:
1. There is no seperation between code and config.
(e.g. If I want to include a specific file on the initrd, I have to dig
through the bash code looking for the loop where they are hard-coded)
2. Paths are hardcoded too.
3. All files are copied out of an installed system.
4. (not really belongs here, but well...)
we use simpleinit on the ISO.
(Why do we need an init system anyway? Do we need any services started
to install SMGL? No. Why not use smgl.install for an init?)
I have started thinking (and a little work) on the following, improved
scripts,
featuring:
1. config files to be parsed by the script
(there's a simple text file with a one-file-per-line list of files to put
on the initrd, and a one-package-per-line list of spells for the ISO)
2. (all) Paths should be relative to a variable...
3. While files for the initrd are (still) copied, spells should be unpacked
from cache (with maybe logs and docs cut out).
So Far,
Karsten
