2020-04-23config: remove spurious secondary validation checkLyndon Brown
it is already done just before writing the config to disk; this check is happening just after doing so and is thus pointless. Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23config: add --validate optionLyndon Brown
running `lb config --validate` causes the script to stop after running the validation check on the config compiled at that point, prior to writing the config to disk. this gives users the ability to check the validity of a config without modifying or rewriting the saved config. note that if users provide new config options alongside --validate, these are taken into account in the check performed. the 'check complete' message will not be seen if an error is reported by the check function, while it will be seen if only warnings are given, but it would require a redesign of the validation check function to make any improvement in that area, and it's perhaps not worth it. Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23config: rename Set_config_defaults() to Prepare_config()Lyndon Brown
it mostly applies defaults where a value does not exist, but does more in some cases. the new name better reflects its usage and functionality. Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23config: rename Check_config_defaults() to Validate_config()Lyndon Brown
this is used after applying user settings on top of the defaults, so is not specific to checking defaults; it's a validation checker. Gbp-Dch: Short

2020-04-23--binary-images can support only a single typeLyndon Brown
whilst some parts of the codebase were set up to work with multiple types specified, others did not work with it and would not necessarily be easy to adjust. this thus makes some tweaks to adjust things accordingly. - option renamed to singular form (maintaining backwards compatibility) - a validation check has been added - unnecessary glob style type references fixed - checks with In_list changed to a direct singular comparison - typo of type "netboot" written as just "net" fixed (though unreachable so of no consequence; really the code could be removed but it's trivial) Gbp-Dch: Short

2020-04-23manpages: fix typoLyndon Brown
bad escape, '-\' should have been '\-' resulted in test showing "--mirror-tstrap" instead of "--mirror-bootstrap" Gbp-Dch: Ignore

2020-04-23fix incorrect handling of -c|--conffileLyndon Brown
this option actually only has an impact when used for `lb config`; it thus was incorrectly accepted and captured by Arguments() and the documentation was wrong. going back through git history, this has been incorrect since the v0.99 days. also, reorganised the list alphabetically (no-color was inserted in the wrong place). Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23manpages: fixup synopsisLyndon Brown
live-build page: list of individual commands outdated (color options not added); incorrect (conffile is `lb config` specific as to be addressed otherwise separately); is unnecessary here; and the synopsis suggests usage without a command (e.g. `lb --help` is wrong when it is not). lb: consistensy fix in formatting. all: placeholders should be in capitals for consistency; "OPTIONS" is better the "live-build options" as a placeholder. config: unlike the others where "live-build options" is replaced with "OPTIONS", it makes more sense to specifically list the info (help; usage; version} options, since below the full list of other options including other generic options are given.

2020-04-23config: support comma and space separated list of source image typesLyndon Brown
2020-04-23manpages: document that multiple source image types can be requestedLyndon Brown
the same is not the case for binary images since although some parts of the codebase support it, others do not. Gbp-Dch: Short

2020-04-23bootloaders: improve bootloader list handlingLyndon Brown
two parts of the code worked with both comma and space separated lists, while two others only worked with comma separated. swapping out commas with spaces when we setup the var in Set_config_defaults() means that individual scripts no longer need to worry about it and everything supports both; and that we can avoid the IFS/OLDIFS mess. Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23manpages: fix mistakeLyndon Brown
the bootloader list should be comma separated not space. i do not know what possessed me to write space based in aed4e0fef2b87e20ea13ea86d36b9b12ac23426d. fix "booloader" typo while at it. Gbp-Dch: Ignore

2020-04-23frontend: fix use of config/environment[.binary]Lyndon Brown
the environment variables when held in a variable need to be used via `env` otherwise you get command not found errors. example: ``` $ echo "AA=aa" > config/environment $ lb config /usr/bin/lb: 83: AA=aa: not found $ ENV="AA=aa" $ ${ENV} true bash: AA=aa: command not found $ "${ENV}" true bash: AA=aa: command not found $ env ${ENV} true ``` Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23chroot_prep: warn if running archives helper for bootstrap stageLyndon Brown
to protect against simple mistake of using 'all' instead of 'all-except-archives' when manually executing scripts (e.g. during development) at the bootstrap stage level. (the bootstrap stage does not and should not use the archives helper). Gbp-Dch: Ignore
2020-04-23binary_rootfs: use new chroot_prep helperLyndon Brown
2020-04-23binary_rootfs: fix missing handling of chroot_tmpfsLyndon Brown
2020-04-23bootstrap_archives: remove useless paramLyndon Brown
2020-04-23chroot_prep: expand coverageLyndon Brown
it now covers: - `lb chroot_apt install-binary` - `lb chroot_archives {chroot|binary|source} {install|remove}` by expanding usage from: `lb chroot_prep {install|remove} HELPERS [ARGS]` to: `lb chroot_prep {install|remove} HELPERS [MODE[ MODE..]] [ARGS]` where `[MODE[ MODE..]]` is an optional set of one or more of: - archives-chroot, which specifies to use 'chroot' as the first param to the chroot_archives script - archives-binary, which specifies to use 'binary' - archives-source, which specifies to use 'source' - apt-install-binary, which specified to pass 'install-binary' instead of 'install' to chroot_apt thus _all_ chroot prep scripts can be run through this helper now! note, in the case of the binary stage, 'archives' is deliberately not added to CHROOT_PREP_OTHER, this is not a mistake! Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23binary: add missing use of chroot_tmpfsLyndon Brown
2020-04-23add bulk chroot preparation script execution helperLyndon Brown
rather than explicitly running one helper after another in the major build stages, or by hand (e.g. while testing things during development), they can be run in bulk via this new helper. it essentially just takes a list of helpers to run and runs them one by one. it supports running all helpers except chroot_archives because that one has different parameter requirements to the rest and supporting it would make things messier. helper scripts can either be named by their full script name or without the 'chroot_' prefix for brevity. you can also just specify 'all' to refer to all helpers (except chroot_archives, per above). it automatically reverses the order of the list when run in remove mode. Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23binary: remove useless execution of `lb chroot_debianchroot remove`Lyndon Brown
it was not run in install mode so should not be run in remove mode. (whether it should in fact be run in install mode is another question; as is whether chroot_tmpfs should be being used) Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23remove some unwanted quoting of list parametersLyndon Brown
there are additional instances in binary_* scripts that are left here because they are covered by changes in MR #157 Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23fix $@ parameter expansion issuesLyndon Brown
$@ when unquoted is subject to further word splitting. this fixes a bunch of instances where it was incorrectly being used unquoted. Gbp-Dch: Short
2020-04-23packages: remove auto-installed on removalLyndon Brown
i've been noticing that in the binary_syslinux stage a wholebunch of packages get installed whilst installing isolinux, and then upon removing the installed packages at the end of the script, apt is listing a large number of those that were auto installed as no longer in use and can be removed via `apt autoremove`. this then persists through package installation and removal steps throughout remaining scripts. adding `--auto-remove` to `apt-get remove --purge` and similarly `--purge-unused` to `aptitude purge` instructs apt to get rid of the unused auto-installed packages at the same time as removing specific package that brought them in in the first place, and thus resolves the problem.

Closes: #956131
2020-04-23grub-efi: fix partial broken boot capabilityadrian15
when used alongside syslinux and when a single kernel flavour is used, things work correctly. otherwise booting from EFI is broken. the problem comes from the fact that syslinux, for a single kernel flavour creates the file /live/vmlinuz, which is used by the minimal EFI grub.cfg to locate the device and partition containing the live image. when multiple kernel flavours are used, it instead creates /live/vmlinuz1, /live/vmlinuz2, etc. which thus is a problem. similarly when syslinux is not used, you are left only with long filenames for the kernel files, for example /live/vmlinuz-4.19.0-8-amd64. in these situations grub cannot find the device containing the image and thus fails to display the boot menu. the solution here, instead of dynamically changing the filename searched for depending upon bootloader configuration, switches to doing a search for the file /.disk/info instead. this file is generated by binary_disk, and is present for iso, iso-hybrid and hdd images types, though grub-efi cannot be used for the hdd type. it is not created for the netboot type, but again, grub-efi is not compatible with that anyway. it is not created for the tar type, which the grub-efi script does not block as incompatible, but is this not a mistake? furthermore, switching to searching for /.disk/info helps avoid issues for systems that happen to actually include a real /live/vmlinuz path other than on a removable live disk or CD/DVD, as is the case with a HP system discussed in #924053. this patch was written by adrian15sgd@gmail.com, as per the authorship, who attached it to the #924053 bug discussion. this commit message however has been re-written by jnqnfe@gmail.com, prior to submission via an MR, as part of the fix towards the issues reported in #956131.
