I attach some annotated lists:
- netinst-udebs: udebs that should go on all netinst cds
- netinst-udebs-i386: additional udebs that should go on i386 netinst cds
- exclude-udebs: udebs that have no reason to go on any cd
- exclude-udebs-i386: udebs that have no reason to go on any i386 cd
File format uses # for comments. ${kernel:Version} should be substituted
with the current installer kernel version, currently 2.4.22 on i386. To
get the udebs that can go on non-netinst cds, just remove the excluded
ones from the full list of available udebs.
Someone else will have to take care of the other architectures, and
these lists could use some review by the other d-i developers. In
particular:
- I don't understand why console-keymaps for other architectures
are available on i386.
- In my testing, both pump-udeb abd dhcp-client-udeb are curretly
installed on cd installs by anna. I don't know why it doesn't choose
only one. I also don't know why netcfg-dhcp violates udeb policy by
using boolean OR in its depends field. :-/ It currently uses dhclient
from dhcp-client-udeb, so I have left only that one on the CD.
- What are these good for, and is there any point in keeping them on
the CD? For now, I chose to keep them.
evms-udeb
fbset-udeb
- I don't know what these would be used for in d-i either, but choose
not to keep them on the CD.
partconf-mkfstab
raidtools2a
reiserfsprogs-udeb
- slang is already on the initrd, but that is a reduced version. Does
anything need the full slang udeb? Assumed not, as it is not
installed by anna currently, and eveything seems to work w/o it.
- netinst-udebs may contain a few i386-specific udebs, did not check
- I did not do an automated double-check to make sure all deps would be
satisfied on the cd, and this would be a good idea. Has to take
library reduction and the initrd into account though, so
non-trivial.
Finally, here are the udebs that anna currently loads into the initrd
on CD installs, that it would no longer be on the CD to be loaded
after these changes:
rootskel-bootfloppy (this was a priority error, and I am fixing it)
