live-sdk

live-sdk is simple distro build system aimed at creating liveCDs

Requirements

live-sdk is designed to be used interactively from a terminal. It requires the following packages to be installed in addition to the dependencies required for libdevuansdk.

zsh cgpt xz-utils gzip schroot debootstrap curl rsync squashfs-tools sudo debmirror
reprepro wget xorriso isolinux patch dialog sed cpio syslinux dosfstools grub-efi-amd64-bin [amd64]
grub-efi-ia32-bin [i386]

sudo permissions are required for the user that is running the build.

Find documentation inside the docs directory of libdevuansdk. The following packages need to be installed to compile the documentation:

python-markdown ruby-ronn

Devuan

xorriso squashfs-tools live-boot syslinux-common

Gentoo

dev-libs/libisoburn sys-fs/squashfs-tools sys-boot/syslinux

Initial setup

After cloning the live-sdk git repository, enter it and issue:

git submodule update --init

Updating

To update live-sdk, go to the root dir of the git repo and issue:

git pull && git submodule update --init --recursive

Quick start

Edit the config file to match your needs. Sensible defaults are already there. Then run zsh. To avoid issues, it's best to start a vanilla version, without preloaded config files so it doesn't cause issues with libdevuansdk/live-sdk functions.

; zsh -f -c 'source sdk'

Now is the time you choose the OS, architecture, and (optionally) a blend you want to build the image for.

Currently supported distros

• devuan

; load devuan amd64

Once initialized, you can run the helper command:

; build_iso_dist

The image will automatically be build for you. Once finished, you will be able to find it in the dist/ directory in live-sdk's root.

For more info, see the doc/ directory.

Acknowledgments

Devuan's SDK was originally conceived during a period of residency at the Schumacher college in Dartington, UK. Greatly inspired by the laborious and mindful atmosphere of its wonderful premises.
