Tails will only include changes that are in Git, and will refuse to build when you have uncommitted changes -- the ignorechanges option is just for disabling that check (only recommended if you know what you are doing), and proceeds to build without those uncommitted changes. If you are not too familiar with Git, you can try this (at the root of your tails folder) to add all files to Git: git add . git commit -m "Did some stuff" And then just `rake build` as usual. Cheers!Ok, I could do this. But does this not kill the original stuff?
Nothing is ever lost when using Git. :) It keeps the history of how files have changed.
My purpose is, to build my own tails version with XFCE and kali-undercover and without gnome. Just to make it as small as possible.
Understood. That is compatible with the instructions I gave you above. However, removing Gnome is likely very hard. I suggest you install XFCE in addition to Gnome to save you tons of work (potentially weeks, I'd guess). Are saving ~100 megabytes really worth it? :)
If I commit my personal changes to git, as you requesting, then (please correct me, if I am wrong) my changes will change the sources in github, what is the last thing I want to do.
Don't worry, your local changes are not published anywhere by default (that requires the `git push` command). And you do not have permission to publish changed on Tails' GitLab any way. :)
I still do not even know, if this, what I want to do, is really working. At the moment I am trying things, step by step. And I want to be sure, these things are only done on my own systems. This must be confirmed.
That's awesome! "Try, fail, repeat" is a surefire recipe for learning! :) If you didn't already, have a look at HACKING.mdwn for some quick explanations of how to modify Tails!
