Hi Vladimir, jacques and all,
I am plannig to use a cramfs image (like wisp-dist) in LEAF/Lince to include
all the basic binaries from the distribution and a lrp package as the
configuration backup file. the system boot will be like:
GRUB or Syslinux --> kernel + initrd -->
--> linuxrc --> lince.cfs + lince.lrp + extra lrp packages --> init 2 ...
At the beginning, only one cfs package will be in the core dist (like a
firmware) but my intention is to grant support for any kind of cfs package.
The structure of the cfs will be the same as LRP: a special /var/lib/lrpkg
directory with all the configuration files and a new package.inst file to
content a script that the system will execute untill the symbolic links are
created (for example, to create the nedeed directories not considered in the
system until the package.list is parsed). In wisp-dist, in the linuxrc script
there are a block program to install the cfs packages, mountig the cfs images
and creating the simbolic links, but it considers only some predefined
directories (/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, ...) restricting the use of another
directories not considered from the beginning.
I like the wisp system, so I want to extend it and use a core cfs package
like a firmware system. This core cfs pack will contain the main lince
software: core system (modules, ulog, dhcpd, sshd, ...), VPN (ipsec), content
filtering (squid, dansguardian), firewall (shorewall), QoS (htb.init), virus
scanner (pop3vscan). The Lince system will be LEAF compliance, so any lrp
packages will be installable. Any software update in Lince system will be
treated as a firmware update (only the lince.cfs).
Suggestions are wellcome.
Regards.
