Bug#772522: live-build 4.0.3-1 does not install casper in ubuntu mode
Hi,
thank you for your prompt reply. The patch works perfectly but after
the live image boot it does not work because of the live boot options
(they were set for live-boot, not casper). The way to go is with
LB_INITRAMFS so we don't break all the other live-build options like
[--initramfs auto|none|live-boot|casper] and the boot options
live-build sets at build time.
So I've edited your patched /usr/lib/live/build/config file version
and changed 3 things: "LB_MODE" for "LB_INITRAMFS", "debian)" for
"live-boot)" and "ubuntu)" for "casper)".
I've then clean up the build tree, ran "lb config" again and finally
"sudo lb build". At the binary stage zsync package could not be found
because it is in the "universe" repository. Atfer updating auto/config
with the option --archive-areas "main universe" the ubuntu live image
was finally built.
The image booted correctly and configured with casper.
Could you please update your patch with those 3 changes? It worked
perfectly and as expected in my tests. Thank you.
Cheers.
