hamm
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
What is the appropriate method of pointing the ftp method of dselect to
the hamm distribution. I have tried the following. Each has it's own
problem:
ftpsite: llug.sep.bnl.gov
debian base: /pub/debian
distributions: unstable non-free contrib
problem: these aren't the hamm non-free and hamm-contrib. They are
stable
debian base: /pub/debian/hamm
distributions: hamm non-free contrib
problem: paths in Packages file assume debian base of /pub/debian so
files aren't found (ie. ftp method looks for
/pub/debian/hamm/unstable/...)
debian base: /pub/debian
distributions: unstable hamm/non-free hamm/contrib
problem: dpkg --merge names the Packages file Pacakges.hamm_non-free
and Packages.hamm_contrib but ftp method expects something else (it
complains that the Packages file is missing and I should run Update).
This is clearly caused by the '/' in the distribution name.
Is there a solution? Or is this an unresolved bug with the ftp
method? Should there be some kind of unstable-non-free and
unstable-contrib symlinks in the /pub/debian?
Thanks,
Erv
