archbootstrap 0.4 with tarbuild

oran001 · 2006-07-07 13:27:01

well, I think a page in the wiki about quickinst can be very helpful to other pepole who have trouble with your (?) script like I had. Is it possible?

You had trouble with my script? Please explain - maybe I can improve it!

As to the wiki: anyone can add stuff to it, that's the point. Please feel free to do so.

In fact, maybe the best thing to do would be to extend the existing page:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usi … Arch_Linux

oran001 · 2006-07-07 16:12:36

a few things:
First, about your script, I'v coied it from the first page of this topic and tried to run if from arch and got this error:

[root@arch ~]# ./archbootstrap oran/ ftp://ftp.archlinux.org
archbootstrap 0.4
No pkg cache found, fetching all pkg files...
Fetching ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686/setup/pacman.pkg.tar.gz.
Fetching ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686/setup/packages.txt.
Error: Could not untar /root/oran/tmp/bootstrappacman.pkg.tar.gz.
[root@arch ~]#

When I tried to run it from knoppix (i think) i got another error, i will check later.

About the wiki, i think my english isn't good enough for this kind of writing. what do you think?

that's it.

Oh ... it sounds like a bit of confusion might have crept into this long thread.

I am not responsible for archbootstrap, but for newarch, which I published when I saw that people were having trouble getting archbootstrap to work. So maybe you should rather try newarch.

About the wiki, i think my english isn't good enough for this kind of writing. what do you think?

I think that's not so important - someone can always tidy it up a bit, if necessary.

oran001 · 2006-07-08 14:37:38

ok, I'l what i can do.

:?

I use archbootstrap and got some problems

[root@sgu ~]# ./archbootstrap /mnt/tmp/ http://download.ourlinux.net:81/Linux/ArchLinux
archbootstrap 0.4
Using existing pkg cache...
Fetching http://download.ourlinux.net:81/Linux/ArchLinux/current/os/i686/setup/pacman.pkg.tar.gz.

warning: cannot find chroot binary - unable to run scriptlets
loading package data... done.
error: unsatisfied dependencies:
  glibc: requires kernel-headers>=2.6.19.1

Error: Could not add a package.

I have chroot in /usr/sbin/chroot, and my kernel-headers' version is :

[root@sgu ~]# pacman -Qi kernel-headers
Name           : kernel-headers
Version        : 2.6.19.1-1

I've no idea why these errors occured.

I mount my rootfs to /mnt/tmp, and copy /bin/bash to /mnt/bin/bash (and with some necessary lib files). Try to chroot:

[root@sgu ~]# chroot /mnt/tmp/
chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory

[root@sgu ~]# ls /mnt/tmp/bin/
bash

[root@sgu ~]# ls /mnt/tmp/lib/
libc.so.6  libdl.so.2  libhistory.so.5  libncurses.so.5  libreadline.so.5

Is there someone who knows why?

that's it.

see this in the script:

tar xzf ${PKG_PACMAN##*/}|| error "Could not untar ${BOOTSTRAP}${PKG_PACMAN##*/}."

Maybe your "tar" command return 0 if it untar the tarball successful, so I think you should change this to:

if [ tar xzf ${PKG_PACMAN##*/} == 0] then
   error "Could not untar ${BOOTSTRAP}${PKG_PACMAN##*/}."

Just to alert prospective Archers that this seems to be outdated.

The Script looks for /setup/packages.txt, which does not exist in the repositories.

I'm wondering about how I should modify it to adapt to the new db.pkg.tar.gz file. If anybody has any pointers, they're more than welcome!

no, not those kind of pointers: http://xkcd.com/138/

int *ptr;

Seriously, I really liked that script. Now I just copy my / partition around :-D
