- Rather than defining the urls where they are gotten (python sysa,
python sysc, inside sysc), a spec file is now used that is easily
interpretable and tool-independent.
- This is interpreted by rootfs.py and inside sysc.
- This is also used to make sources available and extract sources.
- Manual dirname selection is no longer required as is tarball renaming
upon download - all of this is handled automatically.
Fixes#188
- disk to be created (blank disk given to live-bootstrap) (default)
- disk to already exist but sources downloaded within live-bootstrap
- sources to be downloaded outside live-bootstrap (non-blank disk given
to live-bootstrap)
Also migrate sysb to use sys_transfer in QEMU mode also.
Note that this means copy_sysc is now irrelevant. sysc is *always*
sourced from sysa.
* Bzip2 was manually installed directly into filesystem, so bzip2 package was empty.
Fixed by installing it to destdir. bzip2 moves out its binary before installing
its own package.
* sha256sum from stage0-posix was not checking any checksums because it does not
accept piped input. Fixed by using temporary file.
* grep was broken for a short time (but with fixed bzip2 package this caused failures)
due to touch creating grep file of zero size (egrep symlink was touched).
Fixed by implementing touch -h
Resolves#156, resolves#166, resolves#167
- Rename sources to distfiles for clarity.
- Per sys(a/c) distfiles to reduce rootfs.py processing and reduce RAM
usage in sysa.
- Canonicalise early kaem mes/tcc files to kaem script conventions.
- Cleanup unused setup in python.
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.
1. Add named args to make this more clear and avoid unnessecarily
setting default values for certain values ot set others positioned
later.
2. Add support for multiple tarballs in rootfs.sh.
3. Add support for extracting multiple tarballs (name dosen't matter
anymore) in helpers.sh.
4. Add comment for 4th arg to build.
1. Adds sha256sum stage to the bash build harness.
2. Adds a third argument to build(), the checksum file name. This is
used where there is more than one checksum file, most notably
in multi-stage compilations.
3. Adds checksum files to all remaining programs.
4. Adds appropriate 3rd argument where needed (coreutils, tcc-musl,
bison).
