Environment variables "pollute" the build environment of packages and
can affect their output.
This change results in the removal of some files from packages that
were not meant to be packaged. It also removes the need for a
workaround in automake 1.10.3 to manually remove such files.
Variables are now saved in an .env file for each system and included
in scripts that need them using the dot operation.
Also remove redundant autotools stages.
Early manpages in autoconf 2.52-2.59 are removed from output.
Later ones are regenerated with help2man.
Fixes#182
- 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.
This allows creating *.checksums files instead of checking against
them when UPDATE_CHECKSUMS is set to True in bootstrap.cfg.
The checksums are also copied to /usr/src so they can be accessed
easily after the bootstrap completes.
* 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
These variables should only affect live-bootstrap's scripts, yet they
currently "pollute" the build environment of most packages during the
bootstrap unnecessarily.
This change also makes bootstrap.cfg keep the same format between the
different bootstrap stages, which simplifies the input to each step.
This improves the readablility of the scripts. It also helps avoid
cases where a variable could be set twice in bootstrap.cfg, such as
the DISK variable.
- 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.
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
Utilising previously introduced DESTDIR support, everything is installed
to aformentioned DESTDIR.
Prior to the building of XBPS, we use gzip compressed tarballs as
packages. This requires a lot of strange hacks especially for old tar +
gzip (timestamps, etc causing reproducibility problems). Then we use
XBPS once built.
For further RAM savings, we want to create sysb -without- having linux
tarball extracted at the same time. To accomplish this, we move the
gen_init_cpio + related script out of the tree and create it afterward.
Also use hard links to free up some more space.
- Add parts.rst documentation for Linux kernel.
- Completely fix problems caused by new bootstrap, update checksums for
/usr.
- Globalise populate_device_nodes.
- Enable deblobbing.
- We do not use latest 4.9.x because it relies on a new version of
binutils, while older versions do not. (Note: we should be able to go
a bit newer but I didn't bother testing >50 versions to figure this
out).
- We do not use newer kernel versions because they require one or more
of (new perl, new binutils, new make, new gcc, new bison, new tar).
- sysb and sysc are updated to use the SATA (libata) subsystem (aka sda)
instead of IDE-emulating SATA subsystem (aka hda) which is now
available to us.
- While theoretically according to docs 4.9 should work OOTB with our
version of binutils this is not the case, so we have to do a bit of
(interesting) patching. But this does not break anything.
- Thankfully serial support in 4.9 is not screwed over like it is in 2.6
so we can revert to that.
- 4.9 has the linux-libre project at our disposal, instead of gNewSense.
So we use this. Unfortunatley that takes forever because we have to
use sed because our version of gawk is too old/buggy. :( I plan to
introduce very shortly 1. parallelism 2. 'sysc snapshot' which will
start from sysc to avoid this. I do not want to use linux-libre
tarballs because they make modificiations directly from this script
(aka not easily verifiable, use the source!) and this script allows
for much greater flexibility.
- We compile the initramfs ahead-of-build using the in-tree cpio
generator instead of also building cpio to use less packages. We do
NOT build the initramfs into the kernel like 2.6 (unsupported).
- Oh and fix a kexec-tools checksum.
