This reverts commit 89dcd1c. The commit didn't really solve the problem (it stopped making SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH available for all commands) and broke building using sudo by removing the SUDO variable for no apparent reason.
Previously, it would be based on the git version of this repo, which isn't quite correct. Also, when running the build using the Dockerfile, the .git directory of this repo would not be available, so no date could be determined, which might break the build. This should fix Webconverger#23 again.
When building a hdd image, syslinux is used. However, there seems to be some kind of locking or timing issue, that causes the "sylinux" command to fail: P: Copying binary contents into image... plain floppy: device "/proc/27467/fd/3" busy (Resource temporarily unavailable): Cannot initialize 'S:' Bad target s:/ldlinux.sys syslinux: failed to create ldlinux.sys Note that the first two error messages are normal, the "Bad target" error message is particular to this issue. I have never figured out what the actual cause is, but it turns out that adding a second sleep before the mcopy command (which is called by the syslinux command) prevents this problem from occuring. This commit adds a wrapper script for the mcopy command that does exactly this.
There was an extra pair of parenthesis which bash didn't mind, but breaks with dash.
It seems this script was written for an sha1sum command that only returns the sum, but my version also returns the filename. This should now work for both.

This command then shows the UUID from the VirtualBox database, which is exactly what we need (since that is the UUID that VirtualBox expects to be able to run without error). If the VDI file is not registered with VirtualBox, it just shows the UUID from the current file, if any. This change means the VDI file no longer needs to be kept around, it can be removed and recreated later without problems.

I just added two more commits that allow removing the VDI (virtualbox) file and recreating it later with the correct UUID. |

@kaihendry, did you ever have a look at this PR? It has some changes that make the build run better on some systems, I think (and makes it properly run using sudo again). |
Without this, binary_iso (from live-build 1:20191221) fails because this directory is missing. This is due to a change in live-build, for a fix and a reference to the breaking commit, see https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/219? This is a bit of a workaround, and it can be reverted if the above merge request is merged before bullseye is released (the buster version does not seem to have this problem).
This works like the build-vbox-hdd target, but creates a qcow2 HDD image for use with virt-manager.

I added one more commit to work around a bug in the bullseye version of live-build, and one to add qemu hdd build support that I still had lying around. |
