Bug#746413: live-build: DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTIONS not actually passed to debootstrap

2014-09-09 Thread Daniel Baumann
close 746413 4.0.0-1
thanks

there wasn't enough time to finish the python transition, hence, i've
reverted the python stubs to their previous shell script. we'll do the
move to python for jessie+1.

OK, noted. I'm mainly using 4.x because it seems I need the new
--hdd-size feature; the existing size estimation code doesn't seem to
allocate enough space, perhaps because my working area filesystem
(initially btrfs, now tmpfs) has lower overhead than the one I'm using
for the binary image (ext4).

 the general plan is this:
 
   * lb init would do more-or-less what lb config did wrt/ initialize a
 config tree in a previously empty directory.
 
   * lb config would be a set/get program only

Thanks, that's useful information.

 [cdebootstrap]
 options = --exclude=package1,package2
 
 into config/options/cdebootstrap

I can't devote enough time to this to implement the whole of your plan,
but now that I know where the goal is, I could make
bootstrap-(c)debootstrap read a file with that syntax if one is supplied
- that's a step forward at least.

any part/help to reach the goal is more than welcome ;)

 I see there's a TODO in bootstrap-debootstrap for reading options from
 config/options/cdebootstrap. Is that the new UI for a user to do what
 used to be done via --debootstrap-options, or is the idea that lb config
 should create that file?

general disclaimer: you're using 4.x, which has many rough edges and
such, so.. i'm aware that there are lots of things to finish before its
properly usuable, and any help getting it done faster is more than welcome.

the general plan is this:

  * lb init would do more-or-less what lb config did wrt/ initialize a
config tree in a previously empty directory.

  * lb config would be a set/get program only

this means:

  * if the user would do lb init, it would probably touch an empty
config/options/cdebootstrap

  * if the user then wants to set cdebootstrap options, he could use
e.g.

  lb config --set options.cdebootstrap --exclude=package1,package2

which would then write:

[cdebootstrap]
options = --exclude=package1,package2

into config/options/cdebootstrap

  * lb bootstrap-cdebootstrap would then read (if existing)
options/config/cdebootstrap and use the options specified there
when invoking cdebootstrap.

hope that helps,
Daniel
