Debian GNU Hurd .iso building HOWTO

["Shakthi Kannan" <shakshurd@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I need help in creating Debian GNU Hurd .iso CDs. I have been able to
get the pool-hurd-i386 packages using:

  rsync -rv rsync.debian-ports.org::debian/pool-hurd-i386/ pool-hurd-i386

Is this sufficient? In local_fs.h (from
http://www.copyleft.co.nz/tarball-scripts.tgz) there seems to be a use
of dists/sid/. So we need to obtain dists/ also from
http://rsync.debian-ports.org/?

In CONF.sh, MIRROR and LMIRROR (local mirror) are refering to the same
directory. Why is it so?

This Hurd documentation build uses ftp-gnuab and is a bit old?

@Philip:
Is it possible for you to write a detailed HOWTO on your build process?

Any other pointers appreciated.

Thanks!

SK
