Howdy pkg-discuss folks.
Does pkg now always create a UUID on full images?
Currently an ICT in the installer issues:
"pkg set-publisher --reset-uuid --no-refresh publisher"
I am attempting to confirm if this ICT is no longer necessary for an AI
install.
I had checked with Dave and he believes it is not... so I wanted to
confirm.
At the point of image-create, yes, it will now always set a UUID for the
publisher you named when creating the image.
It will now also do so whenever you add new publishers using set-publisher.
Right. The original reason for the --reset-uuid call was that the
installer was copying the initial image, and not using image-create
followed by install. If that's not changed, then the reset is still
needed, as the copy has the same UUID as the source image (which is
what everyone installing from would have...).
AI installs are primarily just a series of package operations, no
copying from the boot image, so that's the case that can avoid the
reset-uuid. Live CD will continue to need it.
