Offline install is broken

[malventano]

Installation without network was possible as of 31230 (support detailed here), however this support has broken some time between then and now.

• I am not selecting any packages. Bare default installation.
• I confirmed that clear-31230-live-server.iso does install offline.
• I also confirmed that clear-41190-live-server.iso and clear-41270-live-server.iso fail to install offline:

clr-installer team has abandon offline installation feature. How to workaround(tested on 42710)

run clr-installer

• fill required settings
• no select additional bundles
• keep native-kernel selection
• Save Configuration Settings (clr-installer save settings to clr-installer.yaml)
• DO NOT select Install, select Cancel to exit

create offline-install.sh file with following content

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e

chmod 700 /var/lib/clr-installer/offline-content

clr-installer -c clr-installer.yaml --offline --swupd-contenturl file:///home/update/www &

while true; do
  if [ -d /tmp/install-*/usr/share/defaults ]; then
    cp -r /usr/share/defaults/clr-installer /tmp/install-*/usr/share/defaults/
    break
  else
    sleep 1
  fi
done

wait

run bash offline-install.sh

If it is abandoned then the blog needs to be updated and the option removed from the installer. ...or it should be fixed so that it works as currently documented.

I suspect the latter is the preferred solution. @pixelgeek ?

It is just my opinion. The team hasn't response to this issue for more than half of a year. It seems that there is a big problem of management.
