Hi Martin, Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com> (2010-06-19): > Package: base-installer > Version: 1.107 > Severity: wishlist > > dpkg in git has support for filtering files, i.e. a mechanism by which > you can exclude certain files from being installed (e.g. > /usr/share/doc, man pages). This is useful on embedded devices that > don't have much storage. > > I believe this feature will land in squeeze so it would be great if > the installer could support this. See #583902 on how this mechanism > works. > > Any comments on which udeb should do this? rootskel, base-installer, > or something else? base-installer/finish-install.d/90base-installer 7: /target/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/force-unsafe-io base-installer/library.sh 37:DPKG_CONFDIR=/target/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d so if it's about configuring dpkg through dpkg.cfg.d, base-installer looks like the place to implement this. What do you think? Mraw, KiBi.
