TODO: Linux build notes

  • quick notes on building on Debian-based systems

sudo apt install libboost-program-options-dev

BUG:

it is expected that '<pool>/room/<blah>' exists
but what if you want the pool to be mounted at /room, so
the desired dataset is '<pool>/blah'

  • things "mostly work" now but installation is tricky. All file permissions are nobody:nogroup instead of root:root. Not sure if remounting / will fix, or if debootstrap needs to run inside a user namespace w/ uid_map set to match.

  • manpage creation requires: sudo apt install docbook2x groff

  • to create a base archive:

    mkdir /tmp/ubuntu-xenial-x64 &&
    sudo debootstrap xenial /tmp/ubuntu-xenial-x64 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ &&
    sudo tar -C /tmp/ubuntu-xenial-x64 -JcPpf /tmp/ubuntu-xenial-x64.txz .
