About three weeks ago livecdfs-update.sh was modified so |
| 2 |
that /etc/inittab was always updated to always use bashlogin as oppose |
| 3 |
to a regular agetty login. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
This causes a problem when that is not the desired action. Previously, |
| 6 |
if someone wanted that to happen, baselayout was built with 'livecd' in |
| 7 |
the USE flags, which causes bashlogin to get installed, as well |
| 8 |
as /sbin/livecd-functions.sh. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
On boot, /sbin/rc would check for /sbin/livecd-functions.sh, and if it |
| 11 |
exists, source it, which has the effect of cleaning up the inittab. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Besides the new behaviour not being the desired action, whenever it |
| 14 |
isn't the desired action, the user will not get any useable TTYs, since |
| 15 |
they all try to launch bashlogin, and since baselayout was not built |
| 16 |
with 'livecd', the bashlogin script is not on the system. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Would it be possible to have this change reverted, since |
| 19 |
livecd-functions.sh in baselayout already seems to take care of it? |
