Hi, In order to get d-i built on various archs, etc. I propose to create a package debian-installer. (If this is documented somewhere else, a pointer would be gratefully accepted, and uploaded to /doc) The plan would be that debuild in ./debian-installer/build builds debian-installer-$(ARCH)_$(VERSION)_all.deb, that puts the images and associated documentation into a place suitable for an archive, eg. /var/www/debian/dists/$(DIST)/main/disks-$(ARCH)/$(VERSION)/.. Its an _all.deb so that all the images can be placed on a single server. This mechanism allows the buildds to do the building for us, and provides us a place to put the test builds; it also gives us all the usual benefits of our package archive scheme. In http://people.debian.org/~mckinstry/d-i/debian.tar there is the files I propose to commit (further work needed, proof of concept for i386); and an example debian-installer-i386_0.01_all.deb Comments, suggestions, better ideas, anyone? - Alastair -- Alastair McKinstry <mckinstry@computer.org> GPG Key fingerprint = 9E64 E714 8E08 81F9 F3DC 1020 FA8E 3790 9051 38F4 He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. - --Thomas Paine
