live-sdk is simple distro build system aimed at creating liveCDs
live-sdk is designed to be used interactively from a terminal. It requires the following packages to be installed in addition to the dependencies required for libdevuansdk.
zsh cgpt xz-utils gzip gnupg2 schroot debootstrap debhelper makedev curl rsync dpkg-dev squashfs-tools
gcc-arm-none-eabi parted kpartx qemu-user-static pinthread sudo debmirror reprepro
build-essential debhelper dctrl-tools bc debiandoc-sgml xsltproc docbook-xml docbook-xsl
libbogl-dev libc6-pic libslang2-pic libnewt-pic genext2fs mklibs genisoimage dosfstools syslinux
syslinux-utils isolinux pxelinux syslinux-common grub-efi-ia32-bin grub-common xorriso tofrodos
mtools kmod bf-utf-source openssl win32-loader librsvg2-bin sed cpio grub-efi-amd64-bin liblz4-1
debmirror rpl e2fslibs-dev nasm gcc-multilib libc6-dev-i386 nasm uuid-dev dialog
sudo permissions are required for the user that is running the build.
Find documentation inside the docs directory of libdevuansdk. The following packages need to be installed to compile the documentation:
python-markdown ruby-ronn
xorriso squashfs-tools live-boot syslinux-common
dev-libs/libisoburn sys-fs/squashfs-tools sys-boot/syslinux
After cloning the live-sdk git repository, enter it and issue:
git submodule update --init
To update live-sdk, go to the root dir of the git repo and issue:
git pull && git submodule update --init --recursive
Edit the config file to match your needs. Sensible defaults are
already there. Then run zsh. To avoid issues, it's best to start a
vanilla version, without preloaded config files so it doesn't cause
issues with libdevuansdk/live-sdk functions.
; zsh -f -c 'source sdk'
Now is the time you choose the OS, architecture, and (optionally) a blend you want to build the image for.
devuan
; load devuan amd64
Once initialized, you can run the helper command:
; build_iso_dist
The image will automatically be build for you. Once finished, you will be
able to find it in the dist/ directory in live-sdk's root.
For more info, see the doc/ directory.
Devuan's SDK was originally conceived during a period of residency at the Schumacher college in Dartington, UK. Greatly inspired by the laborious and mindful atmosphere of its wonderful premises.

In a terminal:
$ cd ~/live-sdk
Note: see Cleaning the build folders below $ clean
$ sudo su
root># zsh -f
root># source sdk
root># load
There are dialogs here: (use the spacebar to select an item, and arrow keys to move up/down)
- Devuan
- Ascii
- Stable
- diy-jwm
- Select repositories: main, contrib, non-free
Then at the # prompt do either:
root># build_iso_dist
or
root># build_iso_dist 2>&1 | tee "Build - $(date "+%d.%m.%Y - %H:%M").log"
This part creates a log file in the live-sdk folder (just dumps everything from the terminal)
2>&1 | tee "Build - $(date "+%d.%m.%Y - %H:%M").log"
Clean the build environment: log files in live-sdk folder, and any files in: log, tmp, dist folders
In a terminal:
$ cd ~/live-sdk
$ clean
