debian-cd stuff and latest commits



Hi everybody,

first (for Adam), can we get again CVS commit posted on the debian-cd 
list (it seems that we only get those for new directories) ?

Next, Ben you commited a couple of changes today, please update the
changelog accordingly so that we know what happened without looking at the
CVS history. And why did you need COPYLINK ? What was the problem 
with the symlink farm ? In the "important" notice in CONF.sh, why did you
remove the possibility of using the symlink farm when hard link can't be
used ? BTW, CONF.sh is not what will get installed, it's the file
"debian/CONF.sh" which is the reference, you'd better update this one (ok
it's probably stupid to have two CONF.sh in the CVS but hey it was for my
convenience since my CONF.sh always has non-US and i386 when the standard
CONF.sh refuses non-US and use the current arch)... 

Jim, you commited several things just to remove doc directories from the
CD ? Why did you do that ? I intentionally put the doc on all the CDs as
it doesn't take that much free space and as it can be quite convenient.
Even if we decide to remove the doc directories, there's no need to remove it
from the CD, we just need not to include it... Furthermore, the changes
you commited don't always work since :
- rm without -f will interactively ask for removal of read-only files and
  that's a pity
- rm without -f will fail if the file doesn't exist and you're trying to
  remove $BDIR/4/doc which doesn't always exist (only if you build with
  non-free) and since the scripts uses "set -e" they'll fail ...

For the moment, I'll remove what you added and if we think that the doc
shouldn't be included on all CDs, then we'll only include it on the first
CD instead of including it everywhere and removing it soon after.

Cheers,
