Build failures on SID
Hello,
Did anyone try to build boot-floppies on SID recently?
With a CVS version it fails.
The first error seems to be in ver2.py, which dies with the current (SID)
python package:
python2.1-xml (from .../python2.1-xml_0.7.1-1_i386.deb) ...
The error:
./ver2.py 1 i386 langs.xml
processing "langs.xml", utf=1, arch=i386
No items for arch i386 found. No file generated
make[4]: *** [langs.c] Error 2
make[4]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/boot-floppies-sid/utilities/dbootstrap/langs'
make[3]: *** [langs/langs.o] Error 2
It is clearly an incompatibility bug, because with the woody python stuff:
python2.1-xml (from .../python2.1-xml_0.7-1_i386.deb) ...
just works.
Weird, because other parts of the boot-floppies scripts require SID
packages... (or at least they were required in the near past, that's why
I'm running SID)
I think this error can easily be fixed, if someone can speak Python.
Back to the build. After correcting the above error with installing
the Python interpreter from woody there is another error:
sudo ./kernel.sh /tmp/download 2.2.20 ""
I: downloading kernel-image-2.2.20
I: Retrieving file:///spool/debian/dists/sid/Release

E: Invalid Release file, no valid components

It seems that something has changed without testing here too.
Could somebody take a look onto these problems and fix them, please?
JFYI, the boot-floppies scripts could not compile since 30th May...
... at least on my up-to-date SID.
Thanks,
