I'm picking up on the work that my son started, so I may be missing some
steps. Here's what I did:
1. Starting in my own home directory I downloaded etch-simple-cdd
bzr get http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/bzr/simple-cdd/etch-simple-cdd
2. Then:
cd etch-simple-cdd
3. In profiles I created "test.packages," and added:
xfce4
gimp
My goal is the simplest possible build with no pre- or post-seeding until
I understand the basic process. I want to walk before I run.
4. In simple-cdd.conf, I added "profiles="test"
I don't understand what "set mirror_tools" means. Are these the variables
you're talking about:
server= "ftp.us.debian.org"
debian-mirror= "http://$server/debian/"
rsync_debian_mirror= %server::debian"
If so, I left them as shown.
I note in etch-simple-cdd/README that you mention "up.to.date.mirror" but
I don't know what you mean by that.
5. I executed:
debuild -us -uc -I.bzr -b
6. And then:
./build-simple-cdd --profiles test --local-packages
$(pwd)/../simple-cdd-profiles_0.3.0-1_all.udeb
After running for a very long time, the system returned with errors (I
didn't have a printer hooked to dev machine, meant to copy them down, but
accidently closed the console window.)
The system did not return a *.raw file.
Feels closer, but clearly I'm overlooking something.
Many thanks,
Lloyd
