| secureboot_ | how does one put scripts in /usr/lib/finish-install.d? | 04:35 |
|---|---|---|
| secureboot_ | it's obviously not on the CD, and grep -r finish-install.d cddir doesn't give me anything either | 04:35 |
| cjwatson | create a udeb that ships them there | 04:35 |
| cjwatson | dpkg -c blah.udeb and you'll see them | 04:36 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: oh - is there a guide to making udebs? | 04:36 |
| cjwatson | there's a primer on how d-i is put together linked from the URL in the topic, which you may find useful | 04:36 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: thanks - i'lll look at that | 04:36 |
| cjwatson | you can write scripts out from preseed files if you like, but it's less neat | 04:36 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: yeah - this is a fairly long one too... | 04:38 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: i see the link you sent as a reference to a link with creating a udeb | 04:38 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: thanks | 04:38 |
| secureboot_ | in the alternate installer, if you use the apt-install command, will it fetch debs from the intarweb? | 05:23 |
| secureboot_ | basically, is it roughly equivalent to in-target apt-get install package? apt-install package is similar? | 05:23 |
| secureboot_ | and is there a good way to see a .deb or .udeb, and know where it is supposed to go in the pool? | 05:25 |
| cjwatson | apt-install is a bit like chroot /target apt-get install except that it has more logging and queueing and stuff, yes. | 05:28 |
| cjwatson | the script is really short; cat it | 05:28 |
| cjwatson | packages conventionally go in pool/COMPONENT/PREFIX/SOURCEPACKAGENAME where PREFIX is libLETTER if the source package name begins with lib followed by LETTER or else the first letter of the source package name. | 05:29 |
| cjwatson | however it makes bugger-all difference if you're generating it yourself, as long as COMPONENT matches the subdirectory of dists/RELEASE where the corresponding Packages files are. | 05:30 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: oh - neat | 05:37 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: so if the udebs were in pool/main, they can go anywhere in pool/main | 05:39 |
| secureboot_ | so i could put them all in pool/main/u/unzip if i wanted? | 05:39 |
| cjwatson | sure | 05:40 |
| cjwatson | bit confusing for you later, but it's up to you :) | 05:40 |
| secureboot_ | why later? do i have to do anything with those? | 05:42 |
| secureboot_ | if i put them in somewhere, and Packages and Release get generated, they'll be installed, right? | 05:42 |
| cjwatson | sure, I mean if you come back to the image later and try to figure out what it's doing | 05:46 |
| cjwatson | if it's a one-shot, then whatever | 05:46 |
| secureboot_ | do all kernel build targets support file preseeding? | 07:19 |
| secureboot_ | i'm using a monolithic kernel successfuly, but the preseed file isn't loadking | 07:20 |
| secureboot_ | loading, rather | 07:20 |
| secureboot_ | "configuring file-preseed failed with error code 1" | 07:22 |
| secureboot_ | i changed to build_isolinux_cdrom, and preseeding gets loaded | 07:45 |
| secureboot_ | but the installer doesn't do anything - there's nothing worthwhile in the menu | 07:45 |
| secureboot_ | why might that be? | 07:45 |
| secureboot_ | is there a list of udebs that are to be installed somewhere on the CD? | 07:59 |
| secureboot_ | one sec | 07:59 |

| secureboot_ | actually, i figured out that Installer-Menu-Item: 70 isn't in my new packages list | 08:24 |
| secureboot_ | how do i get those in there? | 08:24 |
| secureboot_ | by "those", i mane the Installer-Menu-Item lines... | 08:31 |
| secureboot_ | where do they come from? The package descriptions themselves? | 08:32 |

| secureboot_ | actually, i figured that out too... | 09:21 |
