branacleos/build
================
Tool used to create the [BarnacleOS](https://github.com/barnacleos) images.
Based on [pi-gen](https://github.com/rpi-distro/pi-gen) tool used to create
the official [raspberrypi.org](https://raspberrypi.org/) Raspbian images.

Dependencies
------------
2016-04-11 06:25:30 +00:00
On Debian-based systems:
```bash
apt-get install quilt parted realpath qemu-user-static debootstrap zerofree pxz zip \
dosfstools bsdtar libcap2-bin grep rsync
```

The file `depends` contains a list of tools needed. The format of this
2017-07-02 06:55:42 +00:00
file is `<tool>[:<debian-package>]`.

Stage Anatomy
-------------
The build of Raspbian is divided up into several stages for logical clarity
2017-07-02 04:19:03 +00:00
and modularity. This causes some initial complexity, but it simplifies
maintenance and allows for more easy customization.
2017-07-02 04:19:03 +00:00
- **Stage 0** - bootstrap. The primary purpose of this stage is to create a
usable filesystem. This is accomplished largely through the use of
`debootstrap`, which creates a minimal filesystem suitable for use as a
2017-07-02 04:19:03 +00:00
base.tgz on Debian systems. This stage also configures apt settings and
installs `raspberrypi-bootloader` which is missed by debootstrap. The
minimal core is installed but not configured, and the system will not quite
boot yet.
2017-07-02 04:19:03 +00:00
- **Stage 1** - truly minimal system. This stage makes the system bootable by
installing system files like `/etc/fstab`, configures the bootloader, makes
2017-07-02 04:19:03 +00:00
the network operable, and installs packages like raspi-config. At this
stage the system should boot to a local console from which you have the
means to perform basic tasks needed to configure and install the system.
This is as minimal as a system can possibly get, and its arguably not
2017-07-02 04:19:03 +00:00
really usable yet in a traditional sense yet. Still, if you want minimal,
this is minimal and the rest you could reasonably do yourself as sysadmin.
2017-07-02 04:19:03 +00:00
- **Stage 2** - lite system. This stage produces the Raspbian-Lite image. It
installs some optimized memory functions, sets timezone and charmap
defaults, installs fake-hwclock and ntp, wifi and bluetooth support,
2017-07-02 04:19:03 +00:00
dphys-swapfile, and other basics for managing the hardware. It also
creates necessary groups and gives the pi user access to sudo and the
standard console hardware permission groups.
There are a few tools that may not make a whole lot of sense here for
development purposes on a minimal system such as basic python and lua
2017-07-02 04:19:03 +00:00
packages as well as the `build-essential` package. They are lumped right
in with more essential packages presently, though they need not be with
2017-07-02 04:19:03 +00:00
pi-gen. These are understandable for Raspbian's target audience, but if
you were looking for something between truly minimal and Raspbian-lite,
here's where you start trimming.
2017-07-02 04:23:35 +00:00
- **Stage 3** - secure system. This stage configures SSH do disallow root
login, adds iptables rules, etc.
