Port mkremaster to Mageia #8

Open jmiahman opened 6 years ago

jmiahman commented 6 years ago

mkremaster is a gui based frontend to be used with mklivecd and is part of the mklivecd package. There are fundemental differences however between the union type file system that was on PCLinuxOS and older Unity Linux releases and what is used currently in Mageia. Running "Live" checks relied heavily on the presence of a /union folder. In current Mageia releases that folder subsystem (along with the union filesystem: unionfs, or aufs) is not used. mkremaster will need to be rewritten, or heavily modified to reflect these changes in order to work properly with Mageia.

Mkremaster needs smart manager to be installed?

Mageia has overlayfs, aufs. unionfs is deprecated.

No further work will be done for Mageia this project is dead as no one has expressed interest in it for quite some time and I no longer use Mageia. I have written a golang app called GOLiveCD for Fedora based distros that has similar functionality and might be able to get it to work with Mageia as well if for some reason there's strong interest in it.
