simple-cdd-profile udeb
it's been on the TODO list almost as long as simple-cdd existed, but
today finally managed to get a somewhat functional udeb to integrate
more smoothly with debian-installer and etch.
the udeb is essentially a skeleton, containing no specific CDD
information itself, but looks for files in /cdrom/simple-cdd to
determine which profiles are available, asks the user which profiles to
install, and then loads debconf preseeding and queues up packages for
installation in debian-installer.
the CD building script essentially just populates this directory(and all
the usual packages and such).
if we could shake out the bugs in the near future, i'd like to see an
upload to debian soon.
the wiki has been updated to include the new bzr branches:
http://wiki.debian.org/Simple-CDD
now that i've seen this work, i have visions of simple-cdd networked
installs, too. :)
on the down side, repeated troubles with debpartial-mirror have me
looking at other mirroring tools. largely reprepro for packages, and
rsync for the other files(docs, debian-installer images, etc). it
requires implementing dependency resolution, as reprepro doesn't handle
that. but i think i can have something workable in the near future.
live well,
vagrant
