Hi dear FTP-Masters,
(CC-ing -boot for information)
while discussing the current Built-Using fields generated in debian-installer
binary packages over IRC, I noticed the following problem:
Our mirrors network distributes debian-installer images without providing
the sources of the packages needed for their construction (despite Built-
Using).
As an example is worth 1000 words:
a) In the current wheezy installer-* directories, we ship the 20120508 debian-
installer images, aka:
debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/20120508/images/
b) But there is no 20120508 debian-installer binary package available (which
is the one carrying the Built-Using information) there:
debian/pool/main/d/debian-installer/
c) In the particular case of the 20120508 debian-installer package, the Built-
Using field (I checked from snapshot.d.o) is at least not satisfied for the
"alsa-lib (= 1.0.25-2)" package that is not anymore available from:
debian/pool/main/a/alsa-lib/
At first sight, there are two ways around:
i) keep all debian-installer binary packages around;
ii) drop the past debian-installer images (besides the shipped by the suite)
from the dists/ directory.
Ideas, other ways forward ?
Cheers,
OdyX
