How 001-core.xzm is created

Post#1 by **edward** » 12 May 2022, 13:25

Hi, I would like to create a new 001-core module with glibc> 2.34 (2.33 has some issues) a hint how can I do this, I saw that the current version (kiosk 5.4.0) is (GNU C Library (Gentoo 2.33-r7 p6) release release version 2.33.) is there a list of 001-core packages somewhere? can I set up a buildroot (or something else) to rebuild the module?

Edward,

Development section is for feature requests.
Your post fits more to the kiosk ISO customization. Moving to the appropriate forum category.

In short you would need to:

1) install Gentoo linux as kiosk is based on it:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64

2) emerge new glibc version using portage:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage

3) export glibc package using 'qpkg' utility

4) remaster the ISO and update 001-core.xzm following our documentation (replace relevant files manually):
https://porteus-kiosk.org/kiosk-customization.html

Please do not report any bugs to us if you use kiosk ISO which you customized yourself.

Thanks

Doesn't Porteus kiosk use package modules similar to normal Porteus for adding apps and drivers?

Yes - its the same:

You need to get the packages from Gentoo in order to keep them fully compatible with the rest of the system.
(package manager does not exist in kiosk)

Thanks
