Help installing source udebs
I am trying to build my own d-i CD, so that I can add fakeraid support using
dmraid.
I have followed the instructions at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Build
- I have all the necessary packages, so that dpkg-checkbuilddeps returns
nothing. I have created sources.list.udeb.local, but that was ignored
because it did not end in .list, so I renamed it sources.udeb.local.list and
stuck it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and it works.
Or rather, it half works. The 'deb' line works, so I can make images. But I
tried to put an identical deb-src line in, and do
apt-get source hw-detect
so that I can add a call to dmraid, but that doesn't work. I get the error
Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/Release
Unable to find expected entry main/debian-installer/sources/Sources in
Meta-Index file (malformed Release file?)
... which means, I presume, that the udeb sources are not there. I cannot
find anything in the debian-installer/doc dir, or on the d-i wiki, about
installing udeb sources so you can actually change them, make your new
installer and then send in a patch.
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
CC
