Hi,
I would like to re-create and adjust Linaro's Debian image http://releases.linaro.org/debian/images/alip-armhf/16.06/
The release notes https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-dev/2016-July/018243.html contain only a link to an old Ubuntu wiki-page (last modified 2012) https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/Ubuntu/ImageInstallation
Does Linaro provide the build instructions for their current images? Where can I find them?
yes. everything needed to create them is publicly available. there is no 'user guide' or 'step by step' instructions but, it shouldn't be too hard to reproduce by looking at:
- The Jenkins build job that created this image:
https://git.linaro.org/ci/job/configs.git/blob/HEAD:/debian-armhf-rootfs.yam...
- Which in turns uses live-build to create the rootfs:
https://git.linaro.org/ci/ubuntu-build-service.git
Especially for the image that you are interested into:
https://git.linaro.org/ci/ubuntu-build-service.git/tree/HEAD:/jessie-armhf-a...
If you have any issues/question, send them over here.
Thank you,
this is already very helpful.
I wonder now what kind of build environment I need (Hardware/Qemu/Docker/OS Version) to build the image successfully.
It can be cross-built or run natively. We've done both. It's built natively these days (dogfooding Aarch64 servers). If you use QEMU, latest release is preferred. For the OS, Debian or Ubuntu.
https://git.linaro.org/ci/job/configs.git/blob/HEAD:/debian-armhf-rootfs.yam... contains e.g. 38 docker-jessie-armhf 71 dpkg -s qemu-user-static |grep '^Version'
Are you using a virtual environment? How is it configured?
We use docker build slaves. Configuration can be found here: https://git.linaro.org/ci/dockerfiles.git
and the one you're looking at is: https://git.linaro.org/ci/dockerfiles.git/blob/HEAD:/jessie-armhf/Dockerfile
