We should standardize the meta. Originally I didn't standardize it because there was issues with some of names, but this is no longer the case.

Not yet implemented.

This command is quite cryptic to the average user and although is nothing to worry about, users don't like seeing errors. This bug should not cause errors in the output.

E: Can not write log (Is /dev/pts mounted?) - posix_openpt (19: No such device)

mounting dev inside the chroot may work... but that could cause its own issues...

$ sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
$ sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
$ sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys

Sometimes the unmounting does not work when an error occurs half way through the installation.

We need a reliable way of catching an error (e.g debootstrap having the wrong gpg key defined) then cleaning up.

As yet pdk-mediagen has not produced an image for raspi.

Most dev boards have certain commands that need to be run at separate times.

e.g sunxi boards need their bootloader writing to the image before the image is mounted.

we should have a recipes directory which stores hook scripts which would be run at various points during the execution.

Currently we read the suite name from the repo dir, kind of a bad idea.

It should be a configuration variable: mediagen.debian-suite

this would be great for debug

image should be moved after completion to the file specified in the component meta file.

tmp folder should be removed after completion

We should probably write some documentation on what this repository does and how it works.

We should check the meta file exists in the project before attempting to configure the packages.

Or better yet include snippets of scripts inside the openssh-server meta xml file. Somehow.

I have reported an upstream bug to Debian, hopefully a patch can be created!

Luckily in Debian Stable debootstrap is much older.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=901717

Not sure if I have set up the depends field in the package correctly 🔨

Currently we duplicate the list of packages which must be installed when building an image.

the package is used in the generated debootstrap for hashed password generation

it's already on the server, why not just use that one?

Haven't tested this yet
