With a current version of the distri executable, I can’t reproduce this: When I run `distri batch`, it complains instead of panicing: ``` % distri batch 2020/03/14 19:46:46 distriroot "/root/distri"...

Thanks! I’ll give this a spin over the next few days before merging to make sure nothing breaks. glibc is sort of a tricky package, being so far down in...

Thanks for the PR. I’ll probably just update a whole bunch of packages at once at some point. As distri is not recommended for production usage (for research only), there’s...

I don’t have access to VMware Fusion, so I can only ask a few questions and hope the problem becomes apparent. Could you check which kernel driver other distributions use...

> FWIW: When I boot distri from the virtual SATA hdisk it's possible to mount a SCSI hdisk (/dev/sdb). I.e. the functionality is there and works. Hm, interesting. Can you...

This is the first time I hear of balenaEtcher :) While it would of course be possible to provide a .zip file, there are downsides (more disk space and bandwidth...

AFAICT, building pkgs/linux looks bottlenecked on the distri fuse process. Maybe improvements can be measured by compiling pkgs/linux and measuring the time difference. edit: gtk+-2 might be a better candidate,...

The glibc include dir is missing from the wrapper script contents because of https://github.com/distr1/distri/blob/54756a65a2846989fc1cd1c1d7c1d3183506a517/cmd/distri/build.go#L734-L745 Maybe we need to look into teaching gcc that `/ro/glibc…/out/include` is a system directory?
