Well, no difference really, net-retriever can try to download corresponding files from a pre-determined location in an archive. Talk to the archive people. > Hm, perhaps 'anna' is a bad prefix for this? udeb_include and > udeb_exclude might be better names. Good idea. anna's algorithm would then be this. 1. Start with all packages in asklist, and an empty instlist. 2. Remove from asklist, all obviously broken packages (no package name, no filename, ...), all packages that are already installed, packages like rootskel and cdebconf that should never be upgraded, and kernel module packages that have the wrong version. 3. Move from asklist to instlist, the packages mentioned in udeb_include. 4. Move from asklist to instlist, all kernel module packages (since the ones left have the right version). 5. Move from instlist to asklist, the packages mentioned in udeb_exclude. 6. Resolve dependencies in instlist and move the necessary packages from asklist to instlist. 7. Ask the user for which packages in asklist that should be moved to instlist. 8. Resolve dependencies in instlist again, and move the necessary packages from asklist to instlist. Does that sound reasonable? /Martin -- Martin Sjögren sjogren@debian.org -- marvin@dum.chalmers.se GPG key: http://www.mdstud.chalmers.se/~md9ms/gpg.html let hello = "hello" : hello in putStr (unlines hello)
