I plan on adding the patch to bugs.gentoo.org once I finish my testing |
| 9 |
in the next day or two. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Things I've modified: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
- motd handling when livecd/motd is *not* called... now it is generated |
| 14 |
based on the livecd/type, so no more messages on minimal CD's telling |
| 15 |
you that stages are in /mnt/cdrom... |
| 16 |
- root has a .bash_profile - what it does is it looks for |
| 17 |
/usr/X11R6/bin/X, then for /etc/startx, and if both exist, it runs |
| 18 |
startx, otherwise, it does nothing... this should make the creation on |
| 19 |
an X livecd easier on us... |
| 20 |
- pwgen has been moved from replacing /etc/init.d/local to having its |
| 21 |
own init script, so I changed the default rc-update add line accordingly |
| 22 |
- local.start now will execute x-setup if it exists and also sets the |
| 23 |
volume to 75% on the main ALSA channels... I needed this for the GameCD, |
| 24 |
but it would be nice to add xmms (or something) to an X LiveCD... |
| 25 |
- fixed a bug in default-runscript.sh involving the motd |
| 26 |
- added a gamecdfs-update.sh script to runscript-support to facilitate |
| 27 |
the building of a GameCD... |
| 28 |
- added a "gentoo-gamecd" livecd/type for livecd-stage2 |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
All of these changes will make it very simple to create a GameCD from my |
| 31 |
spec templates. All that will be required will be a working portage |
| 32 |
snapshot, to add the game name to the last line of |
| 33 |
arch-livecd-stage1.spec (I'll be providing x86 now, amd64 later), then |
| 34 |
edit the top 3 lines of gamecdfs-update.sh to include the name of your |
| 35 |
game (Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo), game short name (UT2004 Demo), and |
| 36 |
game executable (/usr/games/bin/ut2004demo). |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
After that, all one must do is build a livecd-stage1 and livecd-stage2 |
| 39 |
and the process is complete. I'll be setting up a script for the |
| 40 |
Xcdfs-update.sh shortly, which will be similar to the gamecdfs-update, |
| 41 |
but will require no hand-editing. |
