Let’s me to investigate… I’m using a clean machine like you, formatted ext4 branch stable, and don’t get this error. Until now I tried selecting fast compression.
regarding
mount --bind --make-slave /a /home/eggs/ovarium/filesystem.squashfs/a
I tried creating a /pippo on root, and don’t evidences result.
I discovered a problem in calamares configuration /etc/calamares/modules/packages.conf when I use --fast option, the resulting installation fail
I think I will solve this in the afternoon, it’s just a misconfigured yaml. Anyway becouse the problem arise at the end of installation, the system was installed with the presence of /pippo.
BTW: it’s nice to have finally feedback. Good sunday @linux-aarhus!
@artisan@Yochanan, i think we have a misunderstanding here: i think is not necessary to remove penguins-eggs from our repo because if we remove this we have to remove 99% of our program from the repo since anyone can build itself from the source. I think what @artisan wants to say with “hack” is to build directly from the source when a developer wants instantly test the changes made by him for helping the development of penguins-eggs. Indeed if the packaging is not the best because the directive of npm ( or pnpm ) for building the project is wrong from a system-wide perspective we can improve it…
Yep i understand but if your program is in our repo the program have more visibility and is plus easy to attract more developers. In other hands you don’t have visibility
For now it is until we can package it properly. Dumping the whole repo into /usr/lib/ is not acceptable. This project is not meant to be installed to the system at all. The only thing that should be in /usr/lib/ is the node_modules. Perhaps the main files can be installed to /opt/.
That’s not why as I already corrected that, remember?
In the meantime, a user should do the following:
git clone https://github.com/pieroproietti/penguins-eggs
cd penguins-eggs
pnpm i
pnpm run build
Trying to remove manjaro-tools-iso from dependencies
We use very little from manjaro-tools-iso, so I’m trying to remove it from dependencies.
Mostly we need hooks for mkinitcpio, I’m getting this error:
==> ERROR: Hook 'miso_shutdown' cannot be found
==> ERROR: Hook 'miso' cannot be found
==> ERROR: Hook 'miso_loop_mnt' cannot be found
==> ERROR: Hook 'miso_kms' cannot be found
how to fix it?
We can find them on manjaro-tools. under /usr/lib/inipcpio
It’s neccessary to copy manjaro-tools/initcpio
sudo cp manjaro-tools/initcpio/ /usr/lib -R
We need too /etc/initcpio/miso_shutdown. I don’t remember now it from where come, I just copied it inside this repo, so:
cp miso_shutdown /etc/initcpio
Not too orthodox, but It seem to work!
Advices for doing it in a more orthodox way are welcome,
I just arranged this page on sourceforge with the main indications for eggs on manjaro.
this week trying to optimize the PKGBUILD of the package I made a lot of progress and tested eggs with the new stable and and testing updated.
On my PKGBUILD I cleaned it up, reintroduced penguins-eggs.install and removal of the various files that eggs generates for its configuration.
Also, I configured for manjaro, the automatic removal of both calamares and penguins-eggs at the end of installation.
That leaves, the problem of how to “inherit” from manjaro-tools-iso the various hooks that eggs needs without taking everything else with it. I rely on those who know more about this than I do, but it should not be impossible.
I’ve attempted to improve the PKGBUILD, but I can only do so much when the upstream repo is neither organized nor actually designed to be installed to the system. A Makefile to assist packagers would also be nice.
I still think it would be best to use this tool in userspace as it is. However, it is nice to be able to have all dependencies tied to the package that requires them instead of having to explicitly install things for user space program.
Of course, you are right… Unfortunately, I’m used to work mostly alone so, this is my foult!
My problem in all the ways is not so much - to have or not to have the package on community - but to make eggs usefull for users.
The idea is to bring here, where I see a little more interest, the capabilitis of eggs: give to the system the capability of reproduce and reinstall. In short:
remaster/install both CLI/Desktop base or finished system;
I want Include too a wardrobe of costumes too: a repo with collection of preconfigurated configurations.
I did that on Debian - and it’s already included but not working in manjaro version - I have another repo penguins-wardrobe with pre-created costumes (desktop configurations), servers (servers configurations) and accessories (used for common things).
Nothing so great, customizing a system takes time and need to do so, mostly just samples except for my development machine “colibri” who I really use every day, and other birds who can be build on Debian/Devuan or Ubuntu.
The “great hope” is to add manjaro, spread eggs and assist to an evolution… I’m just a dreamer perhaps.
Thanx a lot for your answers, I will try to define a Makefile to install eggs, to help mantainers.
Ok, I was finally able to get a naked version of manjaro.
This is just a CLI system, but capable of reproduction. The image is about 800M and can be used to create a server, to install and try a different desktop and so on.
Of course, we need again to clean and improve things, I hope here to get interest, feedback and help.
I think eggs can be already good to build servers, and remaster custom GUI systems (something like the old systemback in Debian or the venerable Remastersys). Here I tryed to replicate that and dress with a nice metaphora: penguins, eggs and reproduction.
Well, the composition is starting to work and be usable, there are again things to do but it’s possible to install and remaster a manjaro CLI system using eggs.
I think can be usable enought, I heard about peoples wanting use manjaro as server, eggs let to install, change and remaster your CLI system as much you need. BTW: it work with desktop too and in that case, it’s prerefible to use GUI installer Calamares.
All the methods of class krill-install, are now on individual files under ./modules. This is not a difference of beaviour, but was made in the hope to help peoples experts in calamares to try/use/collaborate in krill
krill: command install became krill
krill: added autoconfiguration from internet for timezone;
krill: now /etc/locale.gen seem to be OK on manjaro
krill: command localectl set-keymap [map] in krill-sequence don’t update /etc/default/keyboard, I tried to force that, but again don’t work. As workaround it’ possible to reconfigure keyboard after the installation.
