Stripping nemesis to bare minimum and rebuilding with pman

[francois]

@jack:
Take all your time. We are just having fun, though this is serious stuff.

Going to bed now as I work early tomorrow morning.

guys....what about mc?

but.. what Blaze is getting at, is to save the script(in gui) to somewhere conveniant like / (in a module if need be or rootcopy) ,
make it executable: chmod +x script.sh
then when you boot into text mode , just run the script: sh script.sh so no copy/paste/ in console

as well there are some problems with the list:

Code: Select all

error: target not found: cower
error: target not found: eudev-systemdcompat
error: target not found: ipw2100
error: target not found: ipw2200
:: There are 2 providers available for libdbus:

   1) dbus  2) dbus-x11
error: target not found: ntfs-3g-fuse

:: Replace eudev-systemdcompat with community/libeudev-systemd? [Y/n] y

heres a revised list: (not sure about the dbus and eudev-systemd stuff, might soon find out)

Is this a script or not? If it is then I can run it in text node and that would be great.

you might be asked to remove eudevsystemd-compat and libdbus ...y ..is your only choice...
EDIT: fixed nasty typo and added libeudev-systemd

[ncmprhnsbl]

well... i got an updated core to boot but was missing libeudev-systemd... some things didnt like it...
will rebuild with it and try again later...
fixed the list/script above to reflect this...

[francois]

@ncmprhnsbl:
So:

Code: Select all

root /home/guest # pacman -S <list of packages>

and then

Code: Select all

dir2xzm mnt/live/memory/changes/ 001-core.xzm

You do that from X environment?

[ncmprhnsbl]

You do that from X environment?

yes, this:

Code: Select all

unsquashfs 001-core.xzm

which gives folder squashfs-root (xzm2dir could be used but i forgot how)
then

Code: Select all

pacman -Sy

to update the database(actually did -Syu first which got the keyrings update first, but didnt go ahead with the whole upgrade)
then

Code: Select all

pacman -Sw <list of packages>

which downloads packages to cache (but doesnt install anything)
then

Code: Select all

pacman -Uddr /path/to/squashfs-root /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*.pkg.tar.xz

i had to copy the /var/lib/pacman/local/ALPM_DB_VERSION from the live system to squashfs-root first(it complains if i dont)
then strip some stuff(docs locales etc)(got the size to 98 mb (original=78 mb))
then

Code: Select all

dir2xzm /path/to/squashfs-root 001-core-1.xzm

some further research suggests dbus-x11 might be better than dbus (replaces libdbus)

[Blaze]

ncmprhnsbl, thanks for your reports.

do you have 002 files like you posted on 001?

No, because I did not think about this question. And list of 001 posted by you (not by me)

Run script (see below) in the Text mode as root user

Code: Select all

root
toor

For example. Copy update-core-nemesis.sh to /mnt/sdb1 (where sdb1 is partition of your usb drive). Then run this script via these commands:

Code: Select all

cd /mnt/sdb1
chmod +x update-core-nemesis.sh

dir2xzm /mnt/live/memory /tmp/001-core.xzm
cp /tmp/001-core.xzm /mnt/sdb1

a new 001-core.xzm you can find in the /mnt/sdb1 (root directory of your USB flash drive)

Will Blaze I use your script and it work great but when I replace it with the old 001-core.xzm then I rebooted and it error out and didn't boot up. The new 001-core.xzm was 441.6 M. My question do I need to do something else? I'm not what the error was.
Update:
I put back the old 001-core.xzm and rename the new to 001-update-core.xzm then it works. This is just let you know.

@jack:
twin (console window manager) and mc solutions with mouse cursor in console mode (out of X environment) with jssouza collaboration.

This will save us great pain.

@ncmprhnsbl:
For 001-core.xzm 98 mb (original=78 mb) is more than respectable.

@all:
So the only receipe missing is for the 000-kernel.xzm module.

Could it be just to xzm2dir 000-kernel.xzm of nemesis and simply replacing /64bit_nemesis/porteus/base/000-kernel/usr/lib/modules/4.3.3-porteus/ by /64bit_v32/porteus/base/000-kernel/lib/modules/4.8.11-porteus/? And then dir2xzm?

From what I understand the upgrade does not change the kernel version:
/lib/modules/4.3.3-porteus/
and

Code: Select all

root ~ # uname -a
Linux porteus 4.3.3-porteus #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 15 21:30:52 UTC 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

@francois
I going to turn on another Laptop just to work on this project. One to just for the Forum and one for building and working on Nemesis. I want add text editor, twin and mouse control to make life easier of course MC is all ready there.

If you replace /lib/modules/4.3.3-porteus then you will also need to replace /lib/firmware and vmlinuz from the same. These all work as one. If you don't you will probably boot into a screen where your mouse/keyboard don't work.

Presumably, need to compare a trees of these modules (001-core.xzm, 001-update-core.xzm) via application tree

Code: Select all

# Arch Linux
pacman -S tree

# Slackware
usm -g tree

then

Code: Select all

xzm2dir 001-core.xzm 001-core
xzm2dir 001-update-core.xzm 001-update-core
cd 001-core
tree
cd ..
cd 001-update-core
tree

Probably, 001-update-core is having some missing configs + unnecessary trash which can be removed from 001-update-core (need a human eye for checking both modules).

I think updating of Nemesis is not simple thing...

[Jack]

To do what I need or do, Nemesis need to be a full install. In Slackware it is easy all you need to upgrade the files inside 001-core.xzm. Here is how to do it.

Code: Select all

xzm2dir 001-core.xzm /tmp/unpacked
ROOT=/tmp/unpacked upgradepkg gimp
dir2xzm /tmp/unpacked /tmp/new-001-core.xzm

Slackware is so easy to upgrade and work with.
