Package: live-build
Version: 5.0~a2-1
Tags: patch
Patch attached to disable the early exit in chroot_archives removal when
chroot and binary mirrors are identical, which incorrectly prevents some
of the removal code being executed.
I've had this sitting around in my WIP 'restructuring' branch for a
while, and a mailing list discussion just prompted me to extract and
submit it.
As noted in the fixme comment it introduces, the implementation of the
patch is just a quick fix and there are additional issues to be
addressed in this script, which I intend to resolve as part of the
restructuring work.

+# Temporarily disabling this early-exit code that was put here for efficiency,
+# but which causes a lot of code to be skipped that really shouldn't be
skipped.
+# To elaborate, the regeneration of the archive source file isn't needed if the
+# mirrors are the same, however blocking the rest causes the following issues:
+# - Small bits of code towards the end, such as that needed to honor the
+# --apt-indices parameter when set to false, are not executed.
+# - This script is executed multiple times throughout the process, and should
+# toggle the apt config cleanly between chroot and binary modes. It does not
+# do this perfectly though. Part of the problem is this early exit, however
+# the issue also extends into the install (chroot config) code above not
+# removing the remove (binary) config components correctly, and neither
+# removing the keys each other installs.
