How grml cd image is created

Hi,

Quick question, how the grml cd image is created (from a directory)?

A side question, is there any way to search the grml source code (in git 
or ...)?

http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-
live.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=genisoimage

this only searches the commit comments.

thanks

to get/update all grml repositories on your local hd i've written a
handy script which is in our package grml-git-tools

# this will clone all git repos to your current directory over git://
git-mirror -b 'git://git.grml.org' git.grml.org

later on you can just run the script again.
it will clone all new repository and update (git fetch) all already
available repositories.

Besides the possibilities mentioned in
http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git;a=search_help - no, not really.

But as soon as you cloned the sources to your local disk you can
enjoy the use of 'git grep ...' anyway. :)

thanks mika, 

I meant to ask, what exact genisoimage command within grml-live is used 
to create from the grml-live bootstraped directory into the cd image iso 
file. 

thanks

mkisofs -V ... -publisher ... -l -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \

mkisofs vs genisoimage

that's exactly what I was looking for. thanks mika.

A new question, I see that you are still maintaining the mkisofs package 
mika. I'm curious why, because in Debian, the genisoimage is recommended/
enforced instead. 

Apart from features available in mkisof (e.g., smkzftree), the 
genisoimage package also includes extra tools useful for working with ISO 
images:

  * dirsplit - easily separate large directory contents into disks of
    predefined size
  * geteltorito - extract an El Torito boot image from a CD image

I'm just curious...

Thanks

mkisofs is available also if you use genisoimage of Debian, because
there's a symlink /usr/bin/mkisofs pointing to /usr/bin/genisoimage.

Ok. This is also something I wanted to ask a few times...

But what makes me really curios is the following:

It seems that grml-live downloads all the necessary packages from
debian/sid acccording to the configuration block
(GRMLBASE,GRML,etc.) (and maybe customizes some configuration?).

So here's the tricky part: how can I force to create the exactly
same grml-version with exactly the same package-versions when going
on in time? How can I be sure that the same package versions are in
grml2008.11-rc1 one week later (where possibly some packages have
been updated in sid)?

The second question is how the grml-kernel(-package) is created and
maintained with it configuration and all its patches?  I found
grml-kernel.git (and the build-scripts) in the git-repos[1] but is
there really nothing like git-buildpackage for debian-kernels?

That's why I added the -b option to grml-live:

grml-small as Xen guest (DomU)

Hi
I would like to use grml-small as a guest os under xen (Dom U). What is 
the recommended procedure to do this ? Do I have to start with something 
like  xen-linux-system-2.6.26-1-xen-686 or a bare debian appliance from 
jailtime.org and install grml on that ? Or is there something like 
xxx-grml-xen-xxx ?

Thanks for your help
Peter
