Sorry, but in newer versions I can’t found bootstrap.sh. How can I compile the OS? Thank you

sed: can't read /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/52gnome_initial_setup: No such file or directory
Container pop-os failed with error code 2.

Logging before I look into it.

The script generates a folder:

out/os
with a file
out/os/pop_base.zip

The installer_data.json is not copied because the script is missing a ../
on the build_installer_layout bash function.

The installer_data.json expects a file to be named pop.zip

Thanks for the script, I'll see if I can install the generated output.

NOTE: Please see my last comment

I tried running the script on a Debian ARM64 machine. Installed all dependencies before running.
Is building only possible on PopOS?

The README says that the dependencies are binfmt-support qemu qemu-user-static qemu-user-binfmt, but qemu-user-binfmt and qemu-user-static conflict with each other. :(

Hi!

I wanted to try your package, but found some problems while trying to compile in a docker machine.

First, it assumes that I have "sudo" package installed, which is not ever true (root without sudo), but I can understand that.

However the script doesn't install curl, zip and python3 package, which are requisites.

Also, for some reason, it's mandatory to have a git configuration (mail + user) to run the scripts.

These are minor things and for the moment, the script is working correctly.

Will write about it if it works :)

Hi!

This project is listed in the Asahi Linux wiki as an alternative distro port for Apple Silicon here: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/SW%3AAlternative-Distros
I was wondering if that still makes sense since the project focus seems to have shifted to generating a general purpose arm64 image.
I couldn't find any documentation on how to use it on Apple Silicon. Is this still supported? Would it make sense to remove it from the list if that is not the case?

I've found so far:

Wifi not working (It doesn't detect the interface, macbook air)
There are configured repos that doesn't have arm64 support
Doing an apt upgrade will make the distro fail to boot after a restart.
Missing kernel headers on the repos and not installed on the base image.

[info] Adding language 'ar'
/chroot-base.sh: line 33: check-language-support: command not found
Container pop-os failed with error code 127.

During the build I ran into this problem.

Perhaps language-selector-common needs to be installed in the build environment.

When running the build script in Kali Linux...
