Fix Lorax cleanup to not re-install RPMs #106

Closed mpalmi closed 9 years ago

mpalmi commented 9 years ago

Commenting out the cleanup call in src/pylorax/init.py rb.cleanup() gets rid of the issue of removing and reinstalling packages every time, but the size of the image grows with each rebuild. This suggests that there may be other files that actually need to be removed.

Cleanup is defined by a template in share/runtime-cleanup.tmpl. Create a new share/clip-runtime-cleanup.tmpl, which cleans up only what is necessary. Get rid of unnecessary removepkg entries in the new tmpl file.

This should drastically improve build times.

After comparing diffs, LiveOS/squashfs.img is the file that is twice the size when not cleaning up.

install.img == squashfs.img. That file is copied over in x86.tmpl.
