Fog Project and Chromium OS

[Keith Obermeier]

I would like to get the fog client working in a Chromium OS branch.  The easiest path seems to be to have apt working first.  Are there any branches that have apt already installed?

Thanks

Chrome OS is based on Gentoo, so there is no "apt" available and no plan to add it.

You can try to find or write an ebuild for fog.  Or, much easier, you can install crouton (https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton) which will give you apt-get.

Just making sure I've got it right (doffing the newbie cap here)

I can install crouton, build the fog client, then remove crouton and be left with a clean-ish chros with fog?

That will probably not work, because your fog client binary will almost surely try to link at run-time with the dynamic libraries in crouton (libc.so etc.), and may also depend on other files (configuration, etc.) which will be installed in the crouton tree.  Once in crouton, always in crouton.

Welcome to the world of versioning, chroot, containers, and virtual machines :)

crouton is a bunch of scripts to install distros in a chroot.  if you have a distro you prefer to use, you can have crouton install that, and then build+install fog in that.

by default, crouton installs a deb based system, so you'd have apt out of the box.

or you could write an ebuild and we could enable that in dev_install.

I'm not familiar with FOG, but assuming that you're referring to https://fogproject.org/, it sounds from https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Introduction#What_is_FOG like it's used to boot systems via PXE and reimage them. Do you mean that you're trying to use it to install your own Chrome OS images onto systems? If so, this sounds like it's a question for the FOG developers, i.e. you want to make sure that the FOG client supports installing Chrome OS, not that you can run FOG code on an existing Chrome OS system.
