Problem with live-update-initramfs
Hello!
First, thank you for Debian Live...
It really is a game changer for some applications.
Here is the problem: There seems
to be an issue with the "live-update-initramfs" script.
The script will not operate if it detects
that it is running from a read-only live system image. The detection
is performed using "/proc/cmdline".
Moreover, the same script is used when
building a live system image (lb build), from within the chroot environment.
Therefore it becomes impossible to build
a Live system from within a Live system. This used to work, and there
is no reason why it should not.
State detection from the "/proc/cmdline"
while working in the chroot does not work because it mixes two environments.
I am not sure what would be the best fix for this.
Moreover, since the script is part of
a package which is dynamically loaded from the net at build time (lb build),
it becomes quite difficult to do a quick patch locally ...
Thank you for taking the time to read
this!
