Subtitle: Or I've screwed (Which is more than likely ;-)

 

I'm trying to add some custom apt sources via customize_image.sh. They appear to be being added, but they are then deleted again.

#!/bin/bash

# arguments: $RELEASE $FAMILY $BOARD $BUILD_DESKTOP
#
# This is the image customization script
#
# NOTE: It is copied to /tmp directory inside the image
# and executed there inside chroot environment
# so don't reference any files that are not already installed

RELEASE=$1
FAMILY=$2
BOARD=$3
BUILD_DESKTOP=$4

# add TV Headend
echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb jessie release" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nimo.list
wget apt.nimo.co.uk/conf/tvheadend.key 
cat ./tvheadend.key |apt-key add -
#rm ./tvheadend.key

#Add NIMO GPG key
echo "deb http://apt.nimo.co.uk/'>http://apt.nimo.co.uk/ nimo main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nimo.list
wget apt.nimo.co.uk/conf/nimo.gpg.key 
cat ./nimo.gpg.key | apt-key add -
#rm ./nimo.gpg.key

#Add nimobridge setup program
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y install nimoapsetup nimocoresetup

	wheezy)

When apt-get -y update is run by the build process it appears to find my repository and is happy.

Which leads me to believe that nimo.list is being created and that the keys are being added correctly.

 

However when I copy the final .raw file to an SD card and look at it, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nimo.list has gone as well as the two key files which as far as I understand it should be in /tmp

 

This is my first attempt at using customize_image.sh so there may be other things going on which I haven't taken into account yet.

What options did you use for building (especially CLEAN_LEVEL)? Maybe image building failed and you checked previous version without your customizations.

 

/tmp directory is not copied into the image, but apt-key stores added keys somewhere in /var, I believe, so you don't need them in /tmp after installation.

I've have just looked at the last SD card that I burned last night and everything looks to be in place now.

I was having trouble with an SD card so I switched to a new one. I'm guessing the old card was not being written properly for some reason.

 

Sorry about that, all appears to be good now :-)

 

Thanks for the hint regarding /tmp not being copied into the image, I didn't know that. It makes sense for it not to be copied, but it might be worth adding a note to the comment at the top of the script.

I'm having trouble getting this working, I compile images just fine on Ubuntu 14.04.

 

I renamed the customize-image.sh.template to customize-image.sh

 

Then I added my custom commands

 

RELEASE=$1
FAMILY=$2
BOARD=$3
BUILD_DESKTOP=$4

git clone https://github.com/blindpet/MediaServerInstaller /root/HTPCGuides

Tried also without renaming the template file and still nothing. On earlier versions of the build script I did this in another way but it seems to be deprecated.

Did you copy customize-image.sh to lib/../userpatches/ ?

Is git installed at that point? Bear in mind that customize-image.sh uses tools installed in the target image NOT the hosts tools. Unless Armbian is already installing git you will most likely need to do something like this:

apt-get -y install git
git clone https://github.com/blindpet/MediaServerInstaller /root/HTPCGuides

You don't need to edit anything in lib/ directly. In fact it's better that you reset or remove lib directory so your changes don't prevent pulling future updates.

 

You shoud use "customize-image.sh" conviniently (auto) copied to "userpatches/". Because it is copied only if it doesn't exist already, your changes in lib/scripts didn't have any effect.

Yes, git should be installed at this point.

Thank you, I see it in the userpatches folder and it worked now. I made the mistake of looking in the github instead of the documentation page
