Add make-boot-image service #11
Conversation
|
Hi @XECDesign , would it be possible to get some feedback on this packaging approach? This service aims to create replacement images for linux-image--2712 packages that include the kernel directly into a signed ramdisk. I suspect I'll probably need a replacement linux-image-rpi-2712 meta-package too? |

Sorry, afraid I can't be of much help here. |

No issues with the approach, but your point on systemd service restarting is taken.
We do, however, need it to support 2711 first - as CM4 is a commercially available platform, and there are no 2712 platforms where we actively support secure boot at this time.

Updated documentation, validator.py, inserted preinst script to remove /boot/firmware/config.txt This will have to be parked for-now as the cryptroot initramfs is unable to insmod the compressed .ko.xz modules. We can revisit this once the cryptroot image has been updated. |

Inconsistent formatting - maybe get this through a asciidoc preview tool?

Is this a core dep, or does it require an additional package?

It's part of the Python standard library. It's provided by libpython3-stdlib in Debian, but this is a hard-dep of the python3 package. Even if we were to use python3-minimal, we would still get email.utils as part of libpython3.11-minimal

Does this need to be expanded to include the vendor fields?

Apologies for the run-around, but I would prefer this was named 'kernel_v8' or similar. Not a blocker.

@roliver-rpi Is this ready to review in earnest? |
No, the current cryptroot initramfs is unable to insmod the compressed .ko.xz modules that we take from the linux-image package. This should be parked until we update the cryptroot initramfs. |
