Sægiri is the build system used to create Taprobane GNU/Linux ISOs. It's driven by configuration files that define `stages' and `steps' of the process that can be modified to build custom live CDs.
Sægiri is a Free Software (Open Source) released under the GNU General Public License.
You should be able to use any GNU/Linux distribution to build Taprobane. Don't forget to check known issues first.
This step is optional, but highly recommended. Non-Debian users can download apt-cacher source tarball from pool/main/a/apt-cacher/ directory of any Debian mirror). Even Debian users on stable/testing might want to try the latest versoin which is available from this location.
More informatin about installing apt-cacher is here.
# tar -xzf saegiri-x.y.z.tar.gz
# cd saegiri-x.y.z/
Copy rc/local.rc.sample to rc/local.rc and edit it appropriately. If you are using apt-cacher, only debian_mirror_real and apt_cacher need to be set.
debian_mirror_real = my.debian.mirror.org/debian apt_cacher = http://127.0.0.1/apt-cacher
This step is optional. The build script will automatically download the correct tarball from www.kernel.org if you bypass this step. However, if you have a kernel mirror closeby, please keep the kernel source tarball in src/tar/. You can find the kernel version by looking at src/contrib/linux/config.
If you have sudo, running make should now build the ISO. Otherwise, run build.pl script as root.
# ./build.pl
Have fun!
