| fsmithred | I can't figure this out. I was making excalibur live-isos in a VM. The VM was running chimaera, so I upgraded it to daedalus. Now the builds fail with errors on unpacking base-files - "file already exists" and the debootstrap log seems to be complaining about symlinks (usrmerge). The debootstrap command specifies "--merged-usr". | 19:13 |
|---|---|---|
| fsmithred | So I rolled up the build tree in a tarball and unpacked it on another Vm that began as daedalus. The build works. | 19:13 |
| fsmithred | I just tried the first VM again today and removed the --merged-usr option from the debootstrap command. The build worked. | 19:14 |
| fsmithred | The resulting isos both have merged-usr in the live filesystem. | 19:14 |
| fsmithred | wft is going on? | 19:14 |
| mason | fsmithred: Different versions of debootstrap is my initial guess. | 19:17 |
| mason | fsmithred: For one thing, default handling of merged-usr flipped at one point. | 19:17 |
| fsmithred | mason, is it kernel related? | 19:39 |
| fsmithred | mason, I think you nailed it. But I need to do one more test. | 19:43 |
| fsmithred | (The older version is the one that worked without --merged-usr but I need to try that with the newer version, which might work with or without that option.) | 19:44 |
| mason | fsmithred: I don't think it's kernel related. I just know merged-user stuff bit me a couple different ways in the last year or so. | 19:45 |
| mason | And how it bit me changed over time. | 19:45 |
| fsmithred | it's working. | 19:50 |
| fsmithred | debootstrap 1.0.128+nmu2devuan2 in devuan fails with --merged-usr and works without it. | 19:53 |
| fsmithred | ^^^ devuan/daedalus | 19:53 |
| fsmithred | debootstrap 1.0.134devuan2 in daedalus-proposed-updates works with or without --merged-usr | 19:54 |
| mason | I've got some work stuff that's going to block my attending the meeting today. No new status - I'm trying to puzzle out the EFI boot issue. I haven't looked at rrq's fix yet. (Not altogether sure where it is, as it turns out.) | 22:10 |
