[Bug 1864426] Re: [SRU][live-build] can not customize the mkisoimage option

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Leon, or anyone else affected,

Accepted live-build into focal-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/live-
build/3.0~a57-1ubuntu38.20.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

  [SRU][live-build] can not customize the mkisoimage option

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Although live build has been used in both oem and foundation team, but
  the main different is that:

  --Foundation--
  Only for squashfs, cd-image will be used after that, the iso image created by live build will not be used directly.

  --OEM--
  Oem team uses live build in whole process which includes several binary hooks, and the final image created by live build will be used directly.

  So the problem is that currently the iso image which created by live build doesn't support uefi boot,
  so when we build a support uefi bootable image, the mkisoimage needs extra options.

  [Test Case]
  With below options in any live build config (oem team put it in <config>/common), an uefi bootable image can be built.

  ISOHYBRID_OPTIONS="--uefi"
  GENISOIMAGE_OPTIONS_EXTRA="-eltorito-alt-boot -efi-boot boot/grub/efi.img -no-emul-boot -joliet-long"

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, oem team has been using this patch for years (from 2012),
  we haven't found any potential regression.
