Hello Steven,

When I inspect the code of sbin/drblsrv, I see the following lines:
# Source DRBL setting
. /opt/drbl/conf/drbl.conf
I will write a script to modify such lines (in any script) into
# Source DRBL setting
. /etc/drbl/drbl.conf
...
Do you think that such a general change might provide a consistent set
of scripts?
I believe so. Once you finalize that, we will change that in the newer
release.
As you agree, I applied the changes, and uploaded the release 1.10.31-2
to Debian.
It should be available shortly at
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/drbl/
Please can you check whether this release provides at least something
usable? I shall be able to make simple checks later when things will be
stabilized. However I fear major inconsistencies at the beginning.
Happy new year!
I did some tests on the latest sid:
=================================
steven@sid:~$ sudo apt-get install drbl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
ash ipcalc libcrypt-passwdmd5-perl mtools syslinux syslinux-common
wakeonlan
Suggested packages:
floppyd dosfstools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ash drbl ipcalc libcrypt-passwdmd5-perl mtools syslinux syslinux-common
wakeonlan
0 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 4,119 kB of archives.
After this operation, 12.3 MB of additional disk space will be used.
=================================
The installation is OK. However, when running "drblsrv -i", it gave this
error:
steven@sid:~$ sudo drblsrv -i
/usr/sbin/drblsrv: line 32: /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-functions: No such file
or directory
Therefore you have to change the above line to
. /usr/share/drbl/sbin/drbl-functions
By the way, there should be some dependency from drbl to parclone, isn't
it?
Yes, definitely.
The required packages are mentioned in /etc/drbl/drbl.conf, they are
described by these variables:
$PKG_FROM_DBN, $PKG_FROM_DRBL_FOR_CLONEZILLA_LIVE, and $PKG_FROM_DRBL
One thing occurred to me is, after you rewrite everything, what's the
best method I adopt that in the unstable DRBL? Now the version is
1.10.77-1drbl, and it is much different from 1.10.31-2.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Steven.
Best regards, Georges.
