Re: Failure to build Jessie with MATE



That was the problem. I built an iso and am now about to test it to see if it will install.
Why does Live Build no longer see comments at the beginning of a file?

I think I have just figured it out, only because of having to copy and paste configs over.
My package lists are derived from my 3.x configs and at the top of the file is a line that
starts with "# /usr/share/live/build/package-lists/". This must have been from when 3.x
in development (when I first started using Live Build) and I have not removed it.

It seems Live Build 4.x doesn't recognise # as a comment, even though Live Build 3.x did,
so it reads the file as is and expects a file path to actually lead to a file even though the line
 is commented out.

In the morning I will remove that line, start a totally new build and see what happens.

You may wonder why I haven't sent this with the configs etc inline as you suggested. This
email was huge with all the configs and the build log. Well in excess of 5000 lines, I have
been able to attach files before but have never had to attach anything so big. It may help
if the list software allowed larger attachments.

There is no previous message. As I said, include them inline and you
won't have this problem.
