Debian Reproducible Live images Wiki page
Roland, et al,
Thank you for your important efforts creating and documenting
Debian Reproducible Live images!!
I have several questions, comments, and minor code improvements
for your excellent Debian Wiki page:
https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleInstalls/LiveImages
1) Configuration
What are the requirements for RAM and /dev/shm?
My 8G RAM laptop defaults to 3.64G /dev/shm.
This is fine for a standard image, but in order to build
a gnome-core image, I needed to increase it to 6.5G.
2) Updated preparation
Code improvements:
wget -qN http://snapshot.notset.fr/mr/timestamp/debian/latest
export SNAPSHOT_TIMESTAMP=$(grep result latest | cut -d\" -f4)
export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$(date -d $(echo $SNAPSHOT_TIMESTAMP |
sed -E 's/^(....)(..)(..T..)(..)(..Z)/\1-\2-\3:\4:\5/') +%s)
3) Hook scripts
You could change all instances of:
if [ ! -e FILE ];
then
exit 0
fi
to:
[ -e FILE ] || exit 0
4) Everything, or at least apt-cacher-ng and /dev/shm,
should be incorporated into the Debian Live Manual at some point.
Thank you again!
