Purpose: to update the content of a Slackware Live USB stick.
upslak.sh accepts the following parameters:
-b|--nobackup Do not try to backup original kernel and modules.
-d|--devices List removable devices on this computer.
-h|--help This help.
-i|--init <filename> Replacement init script.
-k|--kernel <filename> The kernel file (or package).
-m|--kmoddir <name> The kernel modules directory (or package).
-n|--netsupport Add network boot support if not yet present.
-o|--outdev <filename> The device name of your USB drive.
-p|--persistence Move persistent data into new Live module.
-r|--restore Restore previous kernel and modules.
-s|--scan Scan for insertion of new USB device instead of
providing a devicename (using option '-o').
-v|--verbose Show verbose messages.
-w|--wait<number> Add <number> seconds wait time to initialize USB.

Two new script options were added:
-d|--devices List removable devices on this computer.
-s|--scan Scan for insertion of new USB device instead of
providing a devicename (using option '-o').

Dhcpcd is for NFS root support.
Adding it outside of the network kernel module loop allows us
to update the kernel modules separately and more easily.

The XFCE ISO is meant to fit on a CDROM medium.
CDROM ISO images must be at most 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB).

We will use our own copy of syslinux files only as a fallback,
because it is safer to use the versions of files that come
with syslinux on the computer which runs iso2usb.sh.

The 'upslak.sh' script will be added in the near future, it allows
(among others) to upgrade the liveslak kernel and its modules
on your liveslak USB stick.

See http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Filesystem
As of Syslinux 6.03, "pure 64-bits" compression/encryption is not supported.
Modern mke2fs creates file systems with the metadata_csum and 64bit
features enabled by default.
Explicitly disable 64bit feature in the mke2fs command with '-O ^64bit';
otherwise, the syslinux bootloader (>= 6.03) will fail.

Use the 'scandev' keyword instead of specifying an actual partition name
if you want liveslak to scan all partitions for the ISO.
Use this if you are not sure of the devicename and have no means of
figuring it out.

Normally there should not be .new files, but recently there was a bug
in ap/cgmanager where the .new files were not moved to their final spot.

Yet more aggressive pruning of unneeded files (documentation mostly).
Packages that were (re-)added:
min/ghostscript
min/libedit
min/libidn2
xbase/SDL2
xbase/SDL2_gfx
xbase/SDL2_image
xbase/SDL2_mixer
xbase/SDL2_net
xbase/SDL2_ttf
xbase/libbluray
xbase/ocl-icd
Packages that were removed:
min/elvis
min/lilo
xapbase/xpaint
xbase/djvulibre
xbase/gtk+
xbase/liberation-fonts-ttf
xbase/xv
xfce/orage

'2' enables verbose script execution;
'4' dumps you into a debug shell right before the switch_root.

Adding 'sdhci-pci:sdhci-acpi' to KMODS is needed to make liveslak boot
off a Dell e7440 with O2 Micro, Inc. Integrated MMC/SD Controller.

Therefore we need to update the way we patch eliloconfig in -current
and the installer scripts. Patching is still needed for Slackware 14.2.
|
|
These were added to the package list:
- mkvtoolnix (still need to make a package for it)
- nodejs (a new build dep for chromium)
- palemoon (as a leaner alternative to firefox)
|
|
The repository metadata is not correct and yields the error:
"Repository 'studioware' FAILS the CHECKSUMS.md5 download".
|
|
The script started to diverge in -current,
and the patch would no longer apply.

With this change, the ISO drops again below 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB)

Freetype has enabled a 'new style' of sub-pixel hinting, based on the
Infinality patch but simplified for speed.
Some people feel that this new type of hinting is resulting in worse font
rendering than with the old auto-hinter built into Freetype.
The new tweak 'nsh' effectively disables the new type of sub-pixel hinting
and makes Freetype fall back to the old behaviour.
Usage: add "tweaks=nsh" to the boot commandline of the Live OS.

Previously, the 'make_slackware_live.sh' script would exit if no local
copy of a Slackware package mirror was available. Now, the script will
download a copy from a default rsync mirror (osuosl.org) instead,
and then proceed with creating a Live ISO.
Another rsync URI can be specified in the .conf file if you want.
