Sorry Daniel, but I don't understand -d and -m options
========<cut>==============
--mode debian|emdebian|ubuntu
defines a global mode to load project specific defaults. By default
this is set to debian.
-d|--distribution CODENAME
defines the distribution of the resulting live system.
========<end cut>==============
This is not clear for me.
is ubuntu a debian project on live-build parlance?
I understand -d is the codename. If I "create" a new distro
(mydistro), is the codename mydistro or a mode??? I don't understand
the concepts.
Why is ubuntu a mode not a codename (distribution) ?
If I need other mode (mydistromode), what I have to do?
Yes, I needed to do some links (ln -fs
/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/squeeze
/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/mydistro) and the version hack above
but It is running, I think.
The question :
I will have a local repository, obtained with reprepro, with my
distribution (mydistro squeeze based firstly) and I will have a live
USB. What is the best way to proceed?
Do I have create a new mode (mydistromode) similar approach to ubuntu mode ?
When I use the -m option to "ubuntu", I have to put the option -d
squeeze or -d maverick?
To many questions?
Sorry and thanks in avance.
