CD sizes, Packages and Sources

["Achim Löbbert" <aloebbert@gmx.de>]

Hello,

this is my first message to this list after lurking since long. I have
a partial mirror for woody/binary-i386 based on debmirror and the
actual CVS version of debian-cd. Every so often I build inofficial
woody CDs from my local mirror which I put onto CD-RWs. This works
great except for two things:

I always end up in getting 8 CDs instead of 7 as with jigdo:
  660996096 May 30 19:10 woody-i386-1.raw
  661159936 May 30 19:11 woody-i386-2.raw
  668467200 May 30 19:13 woody-i386-3.raw
  654671872 May 30 19:15 woody-i386-4.raw
  659292160 May 30 19:17 woody-i386-5.raw
  654049280 May 30 19:20 woody-i386-6.raw
  661487616 May 30 19:21 woody-i386-7.raw
  172818432 May 30 19:22 woody-i386-8.raw
The way I use debian-cd (according to the documentation) is:
  source CONF.sh
  make distclean
  make mirrorcheck
  make status
  make list TASK=tasks/Debian_woody COMPLETE=1 SIZELIMIT1=555000000
  make bootable
  make packages
  make md5list
  make images
  make imagesums
Should I use a different value for SIZELIMIT1, or skip it at all?
Except for the pathes my CONF.sh only differs from the original in
  export NONFREE=1
  export SECURED=1
being set.

>From above commands 'make md5list' produces the following errors:
  cp: cannot stat `.../main/binary-i386/Packages': No such file or directory
  cp: cannot stat `.../main/source/Sources': No such file or directory
  cp: cannot stat `.../contrib/binary-i386/Packages': No such file or directory
  cp: cannot stat `.../contrib/source/Sources': No such file or directory
  cp: cannot stat `.../non-free/binary-i386/Packages': No such file or directory
  cp: cannot stat `.../non-free/source/Sources': No such file or directory
The corresponding compressed file Packages.gz and Sources.gz exist
in the same directories. Do they need to be extraced beforehand?

I'm aware that there are more important problems than mine while woody
is about to be released. However, if someone could give me a hint I
would greatly appreciate that. Thank you all for the excellent work!
