- Add a target 'example-distro' which must be manually invoked
This creates an example.sqfs with a minimal binary distro
based on the build hosts's /bin and /lib.
The purpose is to provide a simple test image which the
default configuration of the unpackfs module can use to
create a system within which the *other* steps of the
installation can run.
Example files are some zoneinfo's (remember to choose an
existing zone when using the example distro), groups and
sudoers files, etc ..
The example distro has a special /xbin which contains bogus
binaries for many system-administration tasks (e.g. useradd
which would otherwise come from /usr/sbin).
A new option BUILD_TESTING is available; you can turn this off at
CMake-time, but building the tests themselves is harmless (although
it takes some CPU time).
The main advantage of doing this is that running the tests becomes
simple:
make test
Instead of figuring out which tests there are and how to run them
individually. Note that the partition-manager tests will normally
fail, because they require an additional environment variable to
be set to tell them what disk to destroy.
The INSTALL_CONFIG is "on" by default. When set to off,
no *.conf file, both global and related to a single module,
will be installed. A warning message is printed by cmake too,
and the module description is edited to make this visible.
This is useful for testing, when we want to install our
own libraries and binary but keep the configuration of the
live system we are testing on (e.g. path to distro image).
Tested on the master branch.
We need master to have a higher version than the stable branch. I used
2.4.80 so that it can be bumped again to 2.4.90 when starting to do
alpha/beta/RC releases.
