Re: Q: How to rebuild d-i or initrd?

[Ozi Traveller <ozitraveller@gmail.com>]

I changed the debian/rules file as follows:

#! /usr/bin/make -f

ARCH=$(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH)

VERSION=$(shell LC_ALL=C dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Version: | cut -d ' ' -f 2)

DATE=$(shell echo $(VERSION) | cut -d '.' -f 1)

SUITE=$(shell LC_ALL=C dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Distribution: | cut -d ' ' -f 2)

# ifeq (${SUITE},UNRELEASED)

# USE_UDEBS_FROM=unstable

# TRANSSTATUS=

# BOOTMENU_BEEP=n

# else

# USE_UDEBS_FROM=jessie

USE_UDEBS_FROM=wheezy

USE_PROPOSED_UPDATES=0

TRANSSTATUS=translation-status

BOOTMENU_BEEP=y

# endif

however sources.list.udeb still has unstable.

You need to specify USE_UDEBS_FROM=wheezy (see debian/rules for the
heuristics that are used in the regular Debian package build).
