Package: debian-cd Version: 2.2.23 Severity: wishlist Please consider applying the attached patch to facilitate the building of sid_di images. This patch: - sets the default distribution to be built to etch - makes sure links for "sid" configuration items are linked to etch - allows DI_CODENAME to be set from the commandline (as seems to be the intention if you look at the point where it is initialized) Most of the changes IMO are regular post-release updates. The removal of 'unset DI_CODENAME' from CONF.sh could be considered a minor bugfix. With these changes my struggle to build a sid_di image for Sparc probably would have been a lot easier (although I'd probably learned a bit less :-) Cheers, FJP
