By using --cores argument to rootfs.py, JOBS= is set in the
live-bootstrap environment, and -j${JOBS} is used on builds. This speeds
larger packages up significantly.
A fair number of packages do not build properly with parallelism. Most
of these, at least for now, are disabled with -j1.
- 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
This makes the order of objects in archives created by libtool
consistent.
It is known to affect cases where the *_LIBADD automake variable is
used to add extra objects from a separate archive.
Fixing this allows us to remove a few workarounds.
Include:
- Not regenerated man pages.
- Automake tarball with bad time (and completely useless).
- Ordering of files within tarballs.
- Resetting timestamp various fixes.
- Older tars not properly overwriting files leading to many issues.
- Weird lack of reproducibility in libtool scripts paths to tools.
- and more
- This is much more standard and replaces /image in sysa and is the
standard in sysc (avoids many issues).
- GCC needs to have a file created for some unknown reason.
- Checksums updated.
