Tim Serong 43c0082aa7 Move /tmp/ccache setup to base element 
Commit c7d80dd (Cleanup mount points automatically) removed the unmount
of $TMP_MOUNT_PATH/tmp/ccache in run_d_in_target() and moved the
"rm /tmp/ccache" to elements/base/finalise.d/02-remove-ccache.  There
are two problems with this:

1) Not unmounting at the end of run_d_in_target() results in tmp/ccache
   being bind mounted muliple times on top of itself (three times, if you
   just run `disk-image-create base`).  It is eventually unmounted, but
   somehow the auto unmount code is confused, and tries to unmount it
   one more time than it was mounted, which results in an error like
   "umount: /tmp/image.THQkZxQa/mnt/tmp/ccache: not mounted".
   This doesn't actually break anything, but it's a little messy.

2) "rm /tmp/ccache" in elements/base/finalise.d/02-remove-ccache never
   succeeds in removing /tmp/ccache, because that hook is invoked by
   run_d_in_target(), *while* /tmp/ccache is mounted.

This present commit solves the above by moving the ccache setup glue out
of img-functions and into the base element's root.d.  This has the
following implications:

1) lib/img-functions is a little cleaner.

2) /tmp/ccache is available in the chroot during the root, extra-data,
   pre-install, install and post-install stages.  It is not available
   during block-device, finalise and cleanup stages as it will have been
   automatically unmounted by then.

3) /tmp/ccache won't be setup if you're building an image that doesn't
   include the base element.

Raw Blame History

This is the base element.

Almost all users will want to include this in their disk image build, as it includes a lot of useful functionality.

Notes:

  • If you are getting warnings during the build about your locale being missing, consider installing/generating the relevant locale. This may be as simple as having language-pack-XX installed in the pre-install stage

  • This element ensures /tmp/ccache will be available in the chroot during the root, extra-data, pre-install, install and post-install stages. /tmp/ccache is unavailable during block-device, finalise and cleanup stages as it will have been automatically unmounted by then.
