Export KIWI configuration - build-custom is not run

Hello,

When exporting KIWI configuration from SuSE Studio web service the script run at the end of the building is exported to a file called build-custom under source/root. This script however is not run.

Please consider this suggestion for a fix:

Add the option "--edit-bootconfig" with the value of "source/root/build-custom" to "kiwi --create" command line in create_appliance.sh.

Also, either the directory where "kiwi --create" must be changed for build-custom to work(e.g. "./kconfig" line in the script) or a path added in front of every file path in the build-custom script.

How is the script executed in the web service? Our workaround for this issue is to define a root path variable at the start of the build-custom script and apply the variable to each path, like so:

ROOT="build/root"

# read in some variables
. ${ROOT}/studio/profile

Thank You

James T.

Thanks for the feedback and proposed solution! We'll take a closer look
at this next week and try to get it fixed soon.

Re: Export KIWI configuration - build-custom is not run

Hi!

Few corrections, I was too hasty to report without taking a second look:

* The build-custom script is actually run after all, as seen from prepare.log:

Oct-14 22:47:46 <1> : EXEC [chroot <PATH>/build/root chown -c root:root "tmproot/build-custom" 2>&1]

...

/build-custom: line 16: /studio/profile: No such file or directory

So for some reason the script doesn't find the files. Is this script run in chroot environment? Also please notice that the first two commands are not added by us but are provided by SuSE Studio in the script template:

# read in some variables
. ${ROOT}/studio/profile

# read in KIWI utility functions
. .kconfig

Thank you for your answer. Our current workaround is to add the commands to source/etc/init.d/suse_studio_firstboot but this is probably not the right way, assuming that the script could contain command to alter stuff in the system before it's actually built completely.
