boot=local on "install version" kills live-config #34

Closed kaihendry closed 12 years ago

kaihendry commented 12 years ago

This is related to #13

We rely on some of the scripts from https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/tree/master/lib/live/config to run for:

timezone setup (this could be moved somewhere else... but where?)
setting ssh keys (this may be preset and not needed)

From https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/blob/master/lib/live/config.sh#L210 we can see it needs live=config not live=local

Timezone is set using debconf in the live scripts. we probably don't want to use that.

How about user's specifying timezone= in their boot config?

kaihendry commented 12 years ago

I left https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/blob/master/lib/live/config/005-tzdata and the debconf db in there since I didn't have time to investigate how say the browser figures out the local time zone.

Some flat file or some query to the db?

Don't quite understand the "timezone= in their boot config" suggestion. Default is UTC which is fine. :)

But other than 005-tzdata, we could probably nuke https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/tree/master/lib/live/config IIUC?

Should be system time from gettimeofday() ?

Right, it defaults to UTC unless someone put timezone= as a boot / cmdline option.

Starting to think this move was bad move. RE https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/issues/43 #43

Why not rely on https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/tree/master/lib/live/config ? Besides ugly boot=live? Does it mess up the install version?

kaihendry commented 12 years ago

Sorry just trying to do some house keeping here and I don't quite understand the problem any more.

boot=live works
