Re: Can debian-cd build *.jigdo and *.template files without building the iso's ?



Steve

It sounds like building a smaller debain-cd  iso from a hug iso is possible with the current tool set and some minor tweaking.  I will give it a go and report back.

Cheers,

Actually, checking the current debian-cd code it looks like we don't
use much outside of the contents of the CD any more. I was slightly
out of date there.

You'll definitely need $MIRROR/tools (or set OMIT_DOC_TOOLS=1 in
CONF.sh), but that's the only one that show up on a quick look. On a
BD, I'd expect that all the other packages that debian-cd will need
are already going to be on the BD. Suck it ans see, I guess...
