Karsten Behrmann a écrit :
And one day, we might even support
4. automagical chroot maintenance:
The scripts should one day detect outdated spells and recast them,
making sure no dependencies creep in, using the spell config from the
official cauldron stuff and so on. Using cast in ISO creation would
be a beginning. Of course this will make the scripts require to be
run in a chroot (or another environment that doesn't care having
sorcery configs changed and sorcery code patched)
Maybe a simple sorcery system-update could be enought?
It is not.
As you may or may not be aware, the ISO requires some strange configurations
that would not normally happen. For example for ISO generation you'd
need to set install_root.
We need a full depends file even though not all the spells in it are
installed, so we need to hack libdispel, for example, not to reap depends
info.
Furthermore, as the "openssl required by irssi" bug showed, extra care has
to be taken to check for unneccessary depends. And even if you say "n"
in spell config, an overly assy ./configure might detect some lib
being installed and include it.
Therefore, we do need special stuff. A sorcery system-update is
insufficient except when we have all ISO-related stuff cast at the same
time, which is not an option.
So Far,
Karsten
Maybe my words were not correct. It was a suggestion. sorcery system-update has been designed to detect outdated spells and recast them appropriately. So, I was thinking that i could be used.
However, could you elaborate a bit about hacking libdispel? I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are talking about (and would like to understand :-)).
