Distrobuilder Release is Old
I used the distrobuilder 3.0 release but found DISTROBUILDER_ROOT_UUID doesn't work. Please cut a new release
Change
sed -i "s#root=[^ ]*#root=${DISTROBUILDER_ROOT_UUID}#g" /boot/grub/grub.cfg
to
sed -i "s#root=[^ ]*#root=/dev/sda2#g" /boot/grub/grub.cfg
in your debian.yaml
I mean I got it working by building distrobuilder myself. But the released version is older than what is being used by the images builder CI.
If you normally use distrobuilder through Snap you can just use latest/edge channel which will use the latest version on git. This way you don't have to wait for release.
This issue popped up on the the forums today.
Could we consider making a new release? It would also be great if we could build binaries like we do with the LXC projects.
Then I could ask the person to try the binary from the release page. That would work even if the person does not use Snap packages.
We can do a new release, but we can't provide static binaries for distrobuilder as it actively relies on CGO.
Wouldnt this just mean the binary is dynamically linked to glibc (in case od Debian) which is available in most distros either way?
Doesn't quite work that way, it would get linked to the current version of eglibc on the system that built it, trying to run the binary on a system running an older version of eglibc would then fail with a linker error.
That's why you usually don't distribute dynamically linked binaries.
