In rootless boostrap, dev nodes must be mounted before starting the
bootstrap process. However, some of these aren't necessarily mounted,
such as when relying upon BuildStream's sandbox.
Since these are not actually required for either a rootless or
chroot-based bootstrap, simply avoid them.
- The date reproducibility issue was not actually set to any date, which
could cause issues in the fiture, fix that sed.
- Fix a reproducibility issue (under QEMU), where the ordering of files
within libguile can be random. This also affects guile binary so we
need to rebuild that.
- Some change in kernel versions means that guile binary is
significantly different in newer kernel versions. Because we cannot
know the version of the host under chroot mode we must disable guile
checksum entirely.
- Update checksums accordingly.
- Add parts.rst documentation for Linux kernel.
- Completely fix problems caused by new bootstrap, update checksums for
/usr.
- Globalise populate_device_nodes.
- Enable deblobbing.
- This is much more standard and replaces /image in sysa and is the
standard in sysc (avoids many issues).
- GCC needs to have a file created for some unknown reason.
- Checksums updated.
Now that we have the Linux Kernel built, we move to a full-disk (rather
than initramfs) setup in sysc. However, we cannot assume the seed kernel
has support for mounting hard drives. So, first we need to kexec into
sysb, which is used as a jumping off point to create the hard drive for
sysc.
Additionally, since 2.6.16 does not have support for on-demand initramfs
(initramfs must be built into kernel), we will have to rebuild the linux
kernel within sysb without the initramfs.
All of this process is not performed for chroot mode. Instead, we skip
sysb and jump straight to sysc, copying over appropriate data.
The python scripts have been changed slightly. Each sys* inherits
SysGeneral, which contains various functions which are not specific to
any sys* and simplifies those files. rootfs now also handles sysb and
sysc.
bootstrap.cfg also gives an indication whether we are running in a
chroot to avoid attempting to kexec/mount within a chroot.
