Bug#411251: live-package: Alternative handling for LIVE_HOOK

[nebyah at gmail.com (Ben Hay)]

Package: live-package
Version: 0.99.21-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


Where LIVE_HOOK is a file the current implementation uses: Chroot_exec "`cat ${LIVE_HOOK}`
In my experience this breaks easily. Code below copies the file into the
chroot and executes it.

13chroot.sh

if [ -r "${LIVE_HOOK}" ]
then
	# FIXME
	FHOOK=`basename ${LIVE_HOOK}`
	cp "${LIVE_HOOK}" "${LIVE_CHROOT}"/root/
	if [ -x "${LIVE_HOOK}" ]
	then
		LIVE_DEBCONF_FRONTEND="readline" LIVE_DEBCONF_PRIORITY="low" Chroot_exec "/root/${FHOOK}"
	else
		LIVE_DEBCONF_FRONTEND="readline" LIVE_DEBCONF_PRIORITY="low" Chroot_exec "sh /root/${FHOOK}"
	fi
	rm "${LIVE_CHROOT}"/root/"${FHOOK}"
elif [ -n "${LIVE_HOOK}" ]
then
	LIVE_DEBCONF_FRONTEND="readline" LIVE_DEBCONF_PRIORITY="low" chroot_exec "${LIVE_HOOK}"
fi
