2019-03-14Fixed foreign architecture package support to linux kernel flavoursAdrian Gibanel Lopez
Before Stretch there was an special amd64 kernel in the i386 arch repo. So if you wanted to install an amd64 kernel alongside an i386 system you did not need an additional arch repo. Debian added multiarch support. That way you can install library packages from multiple architectures on the same machine. So there is no longer a need for having an amd64 kernel in i386 arch repo. You can add an amd64 arch repo to an i386 arch system and fetch the amd64 kernel from the am64 arch repo. live-build can be setup to use several linux kernel flavours in a single image. So in the days previous to this patch you could issue: lb config --linux-flavours "486 amd64" to use both 486 and amd64 kernel flavours. Adding additional arch support to linux flavours poses two problems: * Packages need to have its arch suffix (e.g. amd64:amd64). If the suffix is not there apt-get insists on search amd64 kernel package on i386 arch repo and, of course, fails to find it. * The rest of the code which handles labels (bootloader config files) or installed filenames (kernel images themselves) do not use the arch suffix. This patch adds foreign architecture package support to linux kernel flavours having taken those problems into account. Practical example usage: i386 system and extra amd64 kernel. First add amd64 foreign architecture in your i386 system thanks to: dpkg --add-architecture amd64 apt-get update . Finally enable amd64 kernel from amd64 arch alongside the i386 system's 686 kernel thanks to: lb config --architectures i386 --linux-flavours "686 amd64:amd64"

2018-09-19UEFI: remove the EFI/debian/grub.cfg, not necessary anymoreLuca Boccassi
Turns out gcd works fine after adding /boot/grub/grub.cfg in the img, as that's the path that gets hardcoded, and adding the EFI/debian/ grub.cfg was not necessary, so remove it.
2018-09-19Use gcd{x64.aa64}.efi.signed for amd64/arm64 arch.Steven Shiau
For secured boot in binary_grub-efi, the gcdx64.efi.signed is the boot loader for removable device, like CD or USB flash drive, while grubx64.efi.signed is for hard drive. Therefore for live system, use gcdx64.efi.signed for amd64 and gcdaa64.efi.signed for arm64.

2018-07-27Handle includes.chroot files installed over symlinked directoriesRaphaël Hertzog
With the merged /usr feature now enabled in debootstrap, we have /bin and /lib which are symlinks to /usr/bin and /usr/lib. If the live-build configuration provides files in config/includes.chroot/lib/ or config/includes.chroot/bin/ then lb chroot_includes will replace the /lib or /bin symlink with real directories having only the content provided in chroot.includes and problems will follow... the build will usually fail later with a cryptic error message (for example a hook failing to execute /usr/bin/env). Work around the issue by creating a tarball of the files to install and by unpacking that tarball from within the chroot with appropriate options.

2018-06-07UEFI: parse vendor from Grub package metadataLuca Boccassi
When using Secure Boot, grub2 as built by Debian will now load a config file from EFI/$VENDOR instead of having EFI/debian hardcoded. $VENDOR comes from dpkg-vendor or from the user building grub2. The vendor string is stored in the control metadata as Efi-Vendor, so retrieve it when building the EFI image.
2018-06-03Avoid apt-key add and just drop the key in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.dLuca Boccassi
Only gnupgv is part of the deboostrap set these days, but apt-key needs the full gpg (with gpg-agent) which is just a recommends. Instead just drop the key with an .asc suffix in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d which is supported since apt version 1.4

2018-04-10Reconfigure bootstrapped packages after preseeding.Luca Boccassi
live-build supports preseeding configuration, but the configuration has to be installed after bootstrapping since it needs the debconf tools to be applied. But packages that have already been installed and configured in the bootstrap step will then ignore those preseeded configs. After applying each preseed file, parse the package list and manually reconfigure the relevant package(s) so that the configuration will be applied.

2018-04-05Print an error and exit if a host package (dependency) is missing.Luca Boccassi
Check_package will just add a missing dependency to the LB_PACKAGES todo list if it doesn't find it, when build-with-chroot is true, even if the check was not for the chroot. Instead error out if the check is not done for the chroot, e.g. Check_package host /bin/foo foo

2018-04-05ONIE: add Recommends for programs needed by binary_onieLuca Boccassi
The binary_onie script needs a few programs to run, and it uses them on the host rather than in the chroot, so add them to the Recommends list.

2018-04-04ONIE: Check_package in the host, not the chrootLuca Boccassi
The binary_onie script works on the host, not in the chroot (if used), so don't check that the required packages for the script are installed in the chroot (if present) as they won't be useful. Check instead on the host.

2018-03-23Add Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories to fix apt-secure in sidLuca Boccassi
The apt-secure option does not work anymore when building a sid image, as with apt 1.6 the existing options are no longer enough to get apt to accept an unsigned repository, which is necessary when using a local cached repository (offline build). Pass Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories "true"; together with the other options when --apt-secure false is used to fix the issue.
2018-03-22Add options to build ONIE imagesLuca Boccassi
Open Network Install Environment is an open image format used by networking vendor to ship a standardised image for networking white box switches. ONIE hardware takes this image at boot and a script to chain load into the final environment via kexec. We can support Debian and derivatives on such systems by packing an ISO which then gets unpacked, kexec'ed and live-booted. A base ONIE system can be tested in QEMU by building a VM following these instrunctions: https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/blob/master/machine/kvm_x86_64/INSTALL Once built, boot onie-recovery-x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0.iso in QEMU/libvirt and on the console there will be the terminal prompt. Check the IP assigned by libvirt and then scp the live image (ssh access is enabled as root without password...). Then the .bin can be booted with: ONIE-RECOVERY:/ # onie-nos-install /tmp/live.hybrid.iso-ONIE.bin The implementation is inspired by ONIE's own scripts that can be found at: https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/blob/master/contrib/debian-iso/cook-bits.sh A new option, --onie (false by default) can be set to true to enable building this new format in addition to an ISO. An additional option, --onie-kernel-cmdline can be used to specify additional options that the ONIE system should use when kexec'ing the final image. Note that only iso or hybrid-iso formats are supported.

2018-03-09UEFI: use uppercase EFI directory name for TianocoreLuca Boccassi
The Tianocore reference UEFI implementation, used for example by Qemu, wants the EFI directory name to be uppercase in the fat32 partition when Secure Boot is enabled, and will fail to load otherwise.
2018-03-09UEFI: add support for Secure Boot on amd64 and arm64Luca Boccassi
Support for UEFI Secure Boot is modelled after how it currently works in Ubuntu and on how it is going to work on Debian. A minimal bootloader, shim, is used as the first-stage and it then loads grub. Both have to be signed. shim-signed is already available in Debian so the filenames are already established, and the grub2 repository and packaging is common between the 2 distros so we can already be reasonably sure of what it is going to be. So if both are available, copy /usr/lib/shim/shim[x64|aa64].efi.signed as boot[x64|aa64].efi so that UEFI loads it first, and copy /usr/lib/grub/[x86_64|arm64]-efi-signed/grub[x64|aa64].efi.signed as grub[x64|aa64].efi. This grub2 EFI monolithic image is currently hard-coded in grub2's repository to look for a config file in efi/debian, so make a copy of the previously added minimal grub.cfg that loads the real one in that directory in both the fat32 and ISO 9660 partitions. The new option --uefi-secure-boot can be set to auto (default, enable or disable. In auto, the lack of the signed EFI binaries is intentionally left as a soft failure - live-build will simply fallback to using the locally generated non-signed grub2 monolithic EFI binary as the only bootloader. Given the difficulties surrounding the Secure Boot signing infrastructure this approach gives the most flexibility and makes sure things will "just work" once the packages are available, without the need to change anything in the configuration. This will also greatly help downstream distributions and users who want to do self-signing. The enable or disable options work as expected. Closes: #821084
2018-03-09UEFI: add minimal grub.cfg to fat32 partitionLuca Boccassi
On some UEFI implementations, like the AMI found in the Supermicro X10SDV-TP8F development board, the fat32 partition will be loaded first and so Grub will set it the root, and then drop to the console as it cannot find any config on it. Add a minimal grub.cfg that allows Grub to find the main config on the ISO 9660 partition and load it. Closes: #892406
