The main motivations to have this are:
* Detect checksum changes with chroot/bwrap builds
* Avoid removing checksums from `SHA256SUMS.pkgs` when unsing `--update-checksums`
* Find crashes that would otherwise be missed in `builder-hex0`
The source tarball is provided as part of sysa distfiles and copied to sysc, which resolves the issue of finding a reliable plain HTTP mirror for curl.
Splitted from https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/pull/253.
Now that we have the Linux Kernel built, we move to a full-disk (rather
than initramfs) setup in sysc. However, we cannot assume the seed kernel
has support for mounting hard drives. So, first we need to kexec into
sysb, which is used as a jumping off point to create the hard drive for
sysc.
Additionally, since 2.6.16 does not have support for on-demand initramfs
(initramfs must be built into kernel), we will have to rebuild the linux
kernel within sysb without the initramfs.
All of this process is not performed for chroot mode. Instead, we skip
sysb and jump straight to sysc, copying over appropriate data.
The python scripts have been changed slightly. Each sys* inherits
SysGeneral, which contains various functions which are not specific to
any sys* and simplifies those files. rootfs now also handles sysb and
sysc.
bootstrap.cfg also gives an indication whether we are running in a
chroot to avoid attempting to kexec/mount within a chroot.
* Properly define coreutils versions, so that it is available in --version
* Move after tar. Later we can move this after gettext/texinfo too.
* There are no prebuilt files in git archive, remove function to delete info files.
