[Live-demo] Rasdaman version on OSGeo-Live - probably need to revert to older version

Fri Mar 4 10:02:44 PST 2016

Hi all,

The latest changes in rasdaman installer had been merged by my mistake in
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/commit/e439f3935c1aad6dfef5b36656a8c76506aa9154
but then reverted in the next commit:
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/commit/2e433c7fb80dd9a695257bc22500b744cd4122ec

Right now, in master branch (from where RC1 will happen soon) the 
previous rasdaman 9.0.2 installer is used.

Alex has proposed some new changes in a new PR:
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/pull/92
but it is still not working (breaks the disk live session)
http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeo-live-nightly-pr92-amd64-203898a.iso
The latest build logs for this PR are here:
http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeo-live-nightly-pr92-amd64-203898a-log.tar.gz

My guess is that the "rasdaman" user account is causing this to happen. 
The previous installer did not create a new user and everything worked fine.

Please keep in mind that the live session uses a temporary user account 
to work and we are doing some magic to make installers work (we create a 
"user" account during build, we install everything under this account, 
we move files to skel,  then we delete the account and we FORCE the live 
session to name the temporary user account as "user" at boot time of the 
live system)

Obviously, if the new installer does not work in the next 2-3 days, I 
will not merge the PR and rasdaman 9.2 will have to wait for OSGeoLive 10.0

Best,
Angelos
