arm64: Cleanup artifacts before build process #730

Closed ryonakano closed 3 weeks ago

ryonakano commented 3 weeks ago

build-rpi.sh and build-pinebookpro.sh does not cleanup artifact directory from previous build, which causes debootstrap failed on second execution:

There is that tool that allows to build raspberry os in stages. It means you don't need to remove the whole filesystem, if a change is small/in last stage of a creating an image. https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen

I understand that it is might not be applicable currently for elementary os. Leaving it here rather as interesting concept.

Yeah it is ideal if we can reuse stuff from previous build. However, it would require some (breaking) changes to our scripts to use pi-gen. I guess we may want to remove the whole artifacts for now and switch to pi-gen later if we want.

Would you create a new issue as a feature request with the above info, so that it won't buried in a closed issue?
