Package: debian-installer
Version: 20110106+squeeze3
Severity: important

Hi.

Quoting some parts of build/README:
| Warning: The build system for the installer is often tightly bound to the
| version of Debian for which it is targeted. If you are using stable, use
| "apt-get source debian-installer" to get a version of the installer that
| will build on your system. If you are using testing or unstable, check out
| a copy of the installer using the command
| "git clone git://git.debian.org/d-i/debian-installer.git"
| 
| Recipe:
| […]
|  - Create your own sources.list.udeb.local, otherwise the build host's
|    sources.list is taken as a template for sources.list.udeb.

This is untrue. On my *stable* system, that defaults to *unstable*:
| $ make sources.list.udeb
| Using generated sources.list.udeb:
|    deb copy:/home/kibi/debian-installer-20110106+squeeze3/build/ localudebs/
|    deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main/debian-installer
| 
| While /etc/apt/sources.lists contains:
| # deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main
| 
| deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main
| deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main
| 
| deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
| deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
| 
| deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze-updates main
| deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze-updates main

See the “f.” step in #653505. I guess that explains why debootstrap-udeb
is at version 1.0.38 in the resulting image, and why I get a missing
sha1sum while trying to run debootstrap, since busybox is stable's,
without that sha1sum applet.

Workaround for that particular problem:
 1. fetch an armel coreutils package.
 2. extract it somewhere and pick the sha1sum binary.
 3. wget it under /bin, and chmod a+x it.

I suggest adding a reference in the quoted part of the recipe above,
like “see the USE_UDEBS_FROM variable below”. It says:
| USE_UDEBS_FROM
|   Normally the codename of the release to use for the build. Defaults to
|   unstable for daily builds.
|   Included in /etc/udebs-source in most initrds.

Daily builds are defined nowhere, so it can't be concluded whether
running “make build_something” under build/ is considered a daily build.
(Or maybe the intent was to document that daily builds are the reasons
for the default's being unstable. I guess it can be understood both
ways.)

Anyway, please make it clear that even on a stable system one needs to
set that variable to stable to get a stable build. Having bits taken
from unstable will randomly break custom builds, and make people waste
hours.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Closes: 653513 720719 738602
Changes: 
 debian-installer (20140316) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Add SSL_CERTS variable, which can be used to build images with embedded
     SSL certificates with c_rehash run over them so that OpenSSL can see
     them (LP: #833994).
 .
   [ Cyril Brulebois ]
   * build/Makefile: Use $(GZIP) instead of gzip, and prefer pigz over
     gzip if it's available, which can give a nice speed-up.
   * Update boot config/screens for the default desktop change (GNOME → Xfce)
     in tasksel 3.19 (Closes: #738602).
   * Update copyright years in boot screens.
   * Bump linux kernel version from 3.12-1 to 3.13-1.
   * build/config/{amd64,i386}.cfg: Remove old "video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr" option
     from VIDEO_MODE_GTK (See: #395040). DirectFB apparently needed those at
     some point. Let's see whether letting the kernel do its job just works.
   * build/Makefile: Add “| sort” after some find calls, to reduce entropy
     and notably to make build logs more easily post-processable.
   * build/Makefile: Move the drop_lang definition to the top of the file to
     deal with incompatible changes in make 3.82 leading to the following
     error: “recipe commences before first target” (Closes: #720719).
   * build/README: Mention USE_UDEBS_FROM in the recipe at the top, and add a
     pointer to debian/rules in its documentation (Closes: #653513).
   * Remove iop32x flavour on armel since support has been dropped from the
     linux package (in 3.13-1~exp1).
   * config/kfreebsd.cfg: Put xorriso's -J flag after “--” to work around
     grub-mkrescue's change in option handling (See: #741656).
   * Update translation-status for the release.
 .
   [ Robert Millan ]
   * Enable kfreebsd-10 builds.
   * Bump kfreebsd-10 from unstable ABI to 10.0-1.
 .
   [ Samuel Thibault ]
   * Upgrade hurd kernel to 1.4
   * Add usb key boot support for kfreebsd & hurd images. This needs another
     grub image, grub_embed, which has to be very small. Add x86-image script,
     similar to efi-image script, with factorized grub-cpmodules part, to build
     minimal grub images with iso9660 and biosdisk support, and put GRUB modules
     on the ISO image.  grub.cfg thus now has to explicitly load modules.
   * Also build initrd for hurd Xen target.
   * Add base infrastructure for kfreebsd Xen images.
 .
   [ Didier Raboud ]
   * Add a comment documenting the need to keep the video modes in sync
     between d-i and win32-loader
