This is sabotage, an experimental distribution based on musl libc and busybox. Currently sabotage supports i386 and x86_64, MIPS, PowerPC32 and ARM(v4t+). For simplicity reasons, sabotage does *not* support cross-compilation. In order to build for your desired platform, you need an existing native environment (for example pre-built aboriginal linux qemu images). Requirements: - ~4G free disk space - root access - usual GCC 4 toolchain - git - a bootloader of your choice (extlinux is favored) - lots of time and a fair bit of Linux knowledge This system has been built on Debian 6.0 and 7.0, Ubuntu 13.04, Suse 11.4, and aboriginal 1.1, 1.2 systems. You can bootstrap your own build from the scripts at https://github.com/rofl0r/sabotage or use a ready-to-boot disk image either for qemu, vbox or to extract the rootfs, to be found at: http://mirror.wzff.de/sabotage/ or http://foss.aueb.gr/mirrors/linux/sabotage/ You also can netboot the install kernel directly (use pxelinux from somewhere). READ THE COOKBOOK FIRST. Build instructions: Caveat emptor, this is all pre-alpha! DO NOT RUN SCRIPTS YOU HAVE NOT READ. % cp KEEP/config.stage0 config % vi config # set SABOTAGE_BUILDDIR, A, and MAKE_THREADS variables. # the other values can be left as-is usually. % . ./config # required! % ./build-stage 0 # build toolchain (~2min on an AMD FX 8core, 75min on ARM Cortex A8 800Mhz) % ./enter-chroot # enter $R chrooted, needs root password % cd /src % vi config # set your MAKE_THREADS, etc % . config % butch install stage1 # and after that, feel free to install optional packages: # you can look at what's available using 'ls /src/pkg' # if you want the default kernel (otherwise you have to build it yourself) % butch install kernel % butch install xorg # install everything needed to get xfbdev % butch install pkg # installs useful things, such as file, git, gdb ... % butch install world #installs almost everything Run "butch" and look at the usage information it outputs for further options. butch uses build templates, please take a look at KEEP/butch_template_configure_cached.txt to see how it works. when you're done, exit the chroot and use utils/write-hd-image.sh to create an image file. this can be directly booted in qemu, to use it in vbox use VBoxManage convertfromraw. or you can simply copy the rootfs in $R to your medium of choice. *** RUNNING SABOTAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME *** The default root password is "sabotage". as usual, % source /src/config so that butch has its environment variables set. you may want to generate some sshd-keys for sshd to use; use % butch install sshd-keys the sshd itself can be started using /sbin/sshd if you need dhcp, run % butch install ndhcp-init this will create users and chroot for ndchp to use, afterwards you use % /etc/rc.dhcp start to run it. an alternate dhcp client is uclibc's udhcpc, which can be launched using /bin/dhclient. otherwise use ifconfig, route and /etc/resolve.conf to configure your static ip. you can of course put it into a script, and launch it automatically using /etc/rc.local for example % echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf % ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 % route add default gw 192.168.0.1 NOTE TO CONTRIBUTORS if you want to add packages, start from KEEP/package.template . please do not use HTTPS or FTP mirrors. HTTPS is unsupported by busybox wget, and FTP is a broken protocol from the 70ies which needs a second data connection (i.e. open port on the client). this prevents FTP from working when behind a NAT router or socks proxy. Downloads from git or other source repositories is an absolute no-go. please use unified diff format (diff -u) for patches, as this usually allows to use the same patches on newer versions as well. since sabotage ships all tarballs when an ISO or HD image is distributed (to fulfill the GPL), space considerations are a top issue. so if available, ALWAYS USE a TAR.XZ (preferred) or TAR.BZ2 download URL. in the former case, xz has to be added to the [deps] section. it is recommend that you create a git branches for your work: this allows me to checkout your changes and rebase as i see fit, and you can easily pull back into your master without getting merge conflicts. CONTACT There is a mailinglist sabotage@lists.openwall.com, mail sabotage-subscribe@lists.openwall.com and follow instructions to get on it. Archives are at http://openwall.com/lists/sabotage/ You can also /join #sabotage or #musl on irc.freenode.net for realtime help. *** SABOTAGE IN USERSPACE or "Co-Musl" *** this is another mode that lets you use sabotage packages in a custom prefix. IT IS HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL at this point. so expect some packages failing to build. (for usage parallel to an existing system, without chroot.) this mode is not heavily optimized or tested, and builds some stuff that is not really necessary. however its quite handy to use sw on an existing system without having to use a chroot. cp KEEP/config.local . nano config.local # edit paths . ./config.local ./build-stage u # after finished, you can cd $R export PATH="$R/bin:$PATH" butch install ncurses nano etc etc
