Hello,
The following patch series brings a number of improvements to the
ISO9660 support. It takes into account some of the patches that have
been submitted on the topic, and that still sit in patchwork due to
the patches not being completely appropriate, and hopefully
re-implement the same features (and more) in a solution that is
acceptable in Buildroot.
The main features are:
* Ability to put the root filesystem directly as the ISO9660
filesystem, instead of having to use an initrd/initramfs to embed
the root filesystem.
* Support for using isolinux or Grub2 as alternate bootloaders to
grub.
* Support for generating hybrid ISO images (which can boot from
either CD-ROM or USB keys), when isolinux is used.
Changes since v1:
- Use $(BUILD_DIR)/rootfs-iso9660.tmp instead of $(BUILD_DIR)/iso9660
as the temporary directory, as suggested by Yann.
- Leave the temporary directory around after the build, as suggested
by Arnout. This allows to remove the need for <fs>_POST_GEN_HOOKS.
- Invert logic for the splash screen test in order to use positive
logic. Suggested by Yann.
- Put the simple "fs/iso9660: use if ... endif block instead of
depends on" patch earlier in the series. Suggested by Yann.
- Add Acked-by to the different patches when provided, and when the
corresponding patches have not been changed in any significant way.
- Fixed commit log for "fs/iso9660: change the location of the splash
image", as noticed by Yann.
- Add patch to install the Grub splash image from $(TARGET_DIR)
instead of picking it up from the Buildroot sources (allows
customization of the splash image using rootfs overlay or
post-build script). Suggested by Yann.
- Improve commit log of "fs/iso9660: prepare cleaner kernel/initrd
path handling", as suggested by Yann.
- In "fs/iso9660: support building a real iso9660 filesystem", fix
comment (noticed by Samuel), and use positive logic (suggested by
Yann).
- Split the patch "fs/iso9660: add support for isolinux" into several
smaller patches, as suggested by Yann.
- Use partition type 0x96 when generating an hybrid ISO
image. Suggested by Yann.
- Use the syslinux images from BINARIES_DIR (for isolinux.bin) and
HOST_DIR (for linuxld.c32). Suggested by Yann.
Best regards,
Thomas
