Included +is also the "official" Igloo Community manifest. + +Usage +====== + +The simplest form of use is to run + + $ make + +This will create a hwpack based on igloo.manifest and an image using the +hwpack and the default rootfs. The Makefile will error out if either the +required tools or the rootfs is not present. + +You can find configuration options in the toplevel Makefile. Don't +change those by editing though, it'll only cause trouble for updating +(unless you commit your changes in a branch etc). + +Instead you can override them from the command line, for example: + + $ make VERSION=small MANIFEST=mini.manifest ROOTFS=nano.tar.gz IMAGE_SIZE=1G + +to create a hypotethical tiny image based on a custom manifest. + +You can also build just the hwpack by running + + $ make hwpack + +in case you don't need the image. -- cgit v1.2.3
