DECODE OS - build system

DECODE's operating system is designed to run a DECODE NODE that automatically connects to DECODE's P2P network and executes smart rules according to authenticated entitlements on attributes.

For stable releases see https://files.dyne.org/decode

Requirements

A GNU/Linux system is required in order to build DECODE OS.

Here a list of package dependencies:

zsh debootstrap sudo kpartx cgpt xz-utils qemu qemu-utils

In addition one must install vagrant and virtualbox from latest published packages (do not use distro provided packages, as they are updated).

Getting started

To enter the build console just run ./console.sh.

To build a vagrant virtual machine, run build_vagrant_dist.

To build a live iso image, run build_iso_dist.

To build an ARM installer image, run build_image_dist.

Here below the sequences of build steps executed by each target:

build_image_dist() {
	bootstrap_complete_base            || { zerr; wrapup }
	blend_preinst                      || { zerr; wrapup }
	image_prepare_raw                  || { zerr; wrapup }
	image_partition_raw_${parted_type} || { zerr; wrapup }
	build_kernel_${arch}               || { zerr; wrapup }
	blend_postinst                     || { zerr; wrapup }
	rsync_to_raw_image                 || { zerr; wrapup }
	image_pack_dist                    || { zerr; wrapup }
}

build_iso_dist() {
	bootstrap_complete_base || { zerr; wrapup }
	blend_preinst           || { zerr; wrapup }
	iso_prepare_strap       || { zerr; wrapup }
	build_kernel_${arch}    || { zerr; wrapup }
	iso_setup_isolinux      || { zerr; wrapup }
	iso_write_isolinux_cfg  || { zerr; wrapup }
	blend_postinst          || { zerr; wrapup }
	fill_apt_cache          || { zerr; wrapup }
	iso_squash_strap        || { zerr; wrapup }
	iso_xorriso_build       || { zerr; wrapup }
}

build_vagrant_dist() {
	image_${imageformat}_as_strapdir   || { zerr; wrapup }
	bootstrap_complete_base            || { zerr; wrapup }
	vm_inject_overrides                || { zerr; wrapup }
	blend_preinst                      || { zerr; wrapup }
	vm_setup_grub                      || { zerr; wrapup }
	blend_postinst                     || { zerr; wrapup }
	vm_umount_${imageformat}           || { zerr; wrapup }
	vm_vbox_setup                      || { zerr; wrapup }
	vm_vagrant_package                 || { zerr; wrapup }
	vm_pack_dist                       || { zerr; wrapup }
}

The build_vagrant_dist target is a helper that executes a sequence of steps, some of them common to other helpers (hence combinable). Here below the full list of build steps executed by build_vagrant_dist
