About
This project builds a Debian bootstrap for use as a base for
building TurnKey GNU/Linux appliances.
A bootstrap is the minimal root filesystem in which packages can
be installed. As of v16.0 / Debian 10/Buster TurnKey uses a default
"minbase" variant Debian bootstrap, with the addition of a couple of
packages.
For further info please run:
make help
Build & copy to bootstraps directory
If you are building a bootstrap for local use only, then it is not necessary
to do a complete make (which will generate a tarball as noted below).
Instead you can just build to the removelist target.
That will build the bootstrap and remove the pre-set list of files noted within the removelist file. You can then copy the generated bootstrap across to the bootstraps directory:
export RELEASE=debian/::CODENAME:: make clean make removelist rsync --delete -Hac build/bootstrap/ $FAB_PATH/bootstraps/$(basename $RELEASE)/
Generate release tarball, sign and publish
These notes have been superceeded by buildtasks/bt-bootstrap but noted here for historical purposes:
ARCH=$(dpkg --print-architecture)
TARBALL=$FAB_PATH/build/bootstrap-$(basename $RELEASE)-$ARCH.tar.gz
ln build/bootstrap.tar.gz $TARBALL
cd turnkey-builds

export PUBLISH_DEST=${PUBLISH_IMAGES}/bootstrap/
