2 odd things, a fix for one
Anyone triyng to build a cd off the current debian archive will see
add_packages going insane. This is because what used to be Filename: in
all Packages files is now FileName. No, I don't know why. To fix, add a
'i' flag to each of the 4 m// statements in the main loop of
add_packages.
Probably the same fix needs to be applied to mirror_check and
strip-nonUS-bin too.
I'm told this was a mistake and it's in the process of being put back
the way it was.
I found another really wacky problem in debian-cd 2.2.2. I was trying to
build a cd set while /bin/sh was a link to the (posix compliant) ash shell.
I wasn't around to see what happened, just the aftermath. It seems that
debian-cd somehow decided that the max ISO size was on the order of 1
megabyte. It then created over 3 thousand seperate cd build trees for
both i386 and source. Most of the source cd's were to contain 2 or 3
packages. I'm still in the process of deleting the build trees; the rm -rf
on them is taking hours..
I'd suspect somewhere in the code there is a bashism that uses some
nonstandard bash feature for ISO calculation size.
