Or did we just get very unlucky? I think it's possible that the recent fixes made the problem more explicit. I had them before, but more random. I think we're a bit unlucky. I didn't use to have them at all. Long term I'd like to get genext2fs fixed. Perhaps I need to divert my d-i development time to that. I'd rather spend it on lowmem, polish, packaging, and documentation. But hey, whatever it takes. Short term, perhaps I should do a conditional build where a second set of images is built if sudo is available? It need only apply to the three 2.2-kernel images. It won't increase the build time much if I base it on the existing trees. As for build access when I'm not around (and I'll be hitting vacation time later this month), I'd be happy to give accounts on my d-i build box to interested dd's. It has both buildd chroots and my daily d-i chroot. Thanks, Stephen -- Stephen R. Marenka If life's not fun, you're not doing it right! <stephen@marenka.net>
