cb pointed out minifai doesn't get installed into the deb. @zeha need to fix this |
done! |
Just short of 700 new lines of Python, but covers running mmdebstrap and lots of workarounds go away. I've titled it "minifai". grml-policyrcd gets removed, as minifai handles installing its own policy-rc.d. This is necessary regardless if we want grml-policyrcd or not, and then grml-policyrcd provides no value anymore. The variables FAI_ARGS, FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS and ZERO_FAI_LOGFILE are no longer supported. The grml-live parameter -V is now always enabled and the option is deprecated. minifai logs to stdout/stderr, and aborts on the first error it encounters. All log messages now end up in grml-live.log. These log/data files are no longer written: debconf.data, fai-monitor.log, fai.conf, fcopy.log, nfsroot.conf, scripts.log, software.log, status.log, task_error, task_local_error, variables.log. Notably missing: packages can only be "install"-ed, which works like "install-norec" in FAI. "hold", etc are not implemented at all.
Somewhat easier to deal with, as grml-live ensures this will not exist in the packed chroot.
minifai should never write logs as another user.
Also set zfs-dkms/stop-build-for-unknown-kernel to avoid zfs-dkms.postinst failing when it cannot identify the running kernel.
