This update introduces a structured mechanism to track and record package changes during the build process inside the chroot environment. Key enhancements include: - Captures the base system package list before custom installations using `dpkg-query`, saved as <codename>_base.manifest. - Captures the post-install package list after firmware, kernel, and manifest packages are installed. - Computes the delta between base and post-install lists to identify custom installed packages. - Saves the delta as custom_installed_packages_<date>.manifest for audit and reproducibility. - Preserves the base manifest for reference; only intermediate files are cleaned up. - Improves logging clarity by replacing “package delta” terminology with “custom installed packages”. - Ensures all manifest files are copied out of the chroot to the host system for deployment. This change improves traceability of system modifications and supports reproducible builds by clearly documenting package-level changes introduced during customization.
