BlankOn live-build

This is repository for BlankOn live-build configuration. Before migrated to live-build, Blankon used to build the ISOs using custom-made script called pabrik-cc based on old debootstrap.

The Debian Live project produces the framework used to build live systems based on Debian and the official Debian Live images themselves.

Prerequisites and preparation

Need live-build version 20191222 or commit sha on 7360d50fa6b

Install tools:

sudo apt install debootstrap make git
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build.git debian-live-build
cd debian-live-build
git checkout 7360d50fa6b
sudo make install
sudo lb --version

Clone Repo and Preparation

• Clone repo

  git clone https://github.com/BlankOn/blankon-live-build.git
  

• Install blankon-keyring

  cd blankon-live-build
  sudo dpkg -i config/packages/blankon-keyring_2020.10.29-1.0_all.deb
  

• Create file /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/verbeek with this content

  mirror_style release
  download_style apt
  finddebs_style from-indices
  variants - buildd fakechroot minbase
  keyring /usr/share/keyrings/blankon-archive-keyring.gpg
  
  # include common settings
  if [ -e "$DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR/scripts/debian-common" ]; then
   . "$DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR/scripts/debian-common"
  elif [ -e /debootstrap/debian-common ]; then
   . /debootstrap/debian-common
  elif [ -e "$DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR/debian-common" ]; then
   . "$DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR/debian-common"
  else
   error 1 NOCOMMON "File not found: debian-common"
  fi
  

• Create symlink in host files to satisfy udeb packages (?) see this issue. (no need symlink if using docker for building images)

  sudo ln -s /usr/share/live/build/data/debian-cd/squeeze /usr/share/live/build/data/debian-cd/verbeek
  

Build

• sudo lb clean --purge
• sudo lb config
• sudo lb build

There is build.sh script that could be used to export the result to BlankOn's jahitan-harian directory.

Simple way

bash build.sh

Using Docker for build

On host:

• docker build -t blankon-live-build:verbeek .
• docker run --rm -ti --cap-add sys_admin -v $(pwd):/src blankon-live-build:verbeek bash Inside docker container:
• lb clean
• lb config
• lb build

Troubleshooting

• P: Begin installing local package lists...
  E: You need to install apt-utils on your host system.
  E: An unexpected failure occurred, exiting...
  P: Begin unmounting filesystems...
  

  Solution: apt install apt-utils inside your host or docker container
