Re: Fixing multistrap dependency issue with -dev packages?

[Jim Heck <pinball.rules@gmail.com>]

Hector,

Thanks for the response.  I see what you're talking about, but I'm afraid I'm still at a loss for how to express the dev component as part of the multistrap config.  When I add it to the source line in the config file, I get one kind of 404 error.  When I try to substitute it as the suite I get a different 404 error.  The multistrap man page doesn't really go into this kind of detail in its example.  Could you provide an example that pulls from a component?

Thank you very much,

-Jim Heck


For example, when I tried it as the source line like this:

...

[Dev]
packages= libc6-dev libncurses5-dev
source=http://www.emdebian.org/grip dev
keyring=emdebian-archive-keyring
suite=squeeze

...

I got this error

Emdebian Grip has a component called 'dev' with -dev packages in it ;)
Have a look to http://emdebian.org/grip/dists/unstable/
