[PATCH] Standardize to machine readable package manifest
Hello,
Please accept this patch to the binary_manifest helper to standardize to a machine readable package manifest file for both casper and live-initramfs builds. The rationale for this change is to make it easier for scripts to parse build manifests in a standardized fashion which in turn makes it easier to do things like build manifest comparisons.
Changes this script introduces:
1. The binary_manifest helper will produce a manifest in the same format with the same filenames for both casper and live-initramfs.
2. The format of the manifest file will be the output of 'dpkg-query -W' (ie. <package_name>\t<version>\n...).
3. The manifest file will be stored at binary/casper/filesystem.manifest and binary/live/filesystem.manifest for casper and live-initramfs respectively.
4. The manifest file will also be copied to binary.manifest.
5. The binary/${INITFS}/packages.txt and binary.packages file ('dpkg -l' with some explanatory text) will no longer be generated.
Cheers,
