Re: mirror-sync and build_all.sh (debian-cd)

Hi Frans, brilliant!

I confirm that with this string debmirror downloads also the d-i images, the docs and the tools:

debmirror --rsync-extra=doc,tools --arch=i386 --dist=lenny --section=main,main/debian-installer --method="http" --ignore-small-errors --nosource --exclude='(e/eclipse(|-.*)/.*)' --exclude='/(boson|ice.*|kde.*|koffice|python-.*|qt-x11-free|samba|wengophone)-dbg_' --exclude='/lib(boost|gl1-mesa-dri|nel|qt4|.*webkit.*|wine|wxgtk.*|xul.*|zeroc-ice.*)-dbg_' --exclude='/libqt4-debug_' -v -h ftp.nl.debian.org --di-dist=dists --di-arch=arches <destinationDir>

which can be used with debian-cd to create a NETINST image, a CD image and so on.

Note that I've used the sid version of debmirror ( version 1:2.4.3 ) because in my understanding the lenny one ( version 20070123lenny1 ) 
does not have the "--di-dist" and the "--di-arch" options.


Thank you again for this powerful tool and for supporting it.
Mike
