help with debian-cd
ok, i'm gonna start the great plan (cd snapshots).
my mirror is across the road, and i have nfs mounted it. (of course i
don't have write access).
first questions:
- why is the "symlink farmer" method of this system not recommended?
- why does this happen:
$ . CONF.sh
$ make status

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
console-tools: Depends: console-data (> 1999.08.29-3) but it is not
installed

whats the deal with the line 137 problem?
thats cool right? the make status should work right? as the list supplied
IS going to split up that onto 2 cds right?
and is there seperate "non-US" cds produced? what about "non-FREE"? it
would be nice to be able to produce seperate sets if i wanted, and thats
what i thought happened. i only see 2 sets (binaries + source).
also: when run with VERBOSE=1, there are heaps of:
WARNING: Package `pcmcia-modules-2.0.35' has no sources ... (ignored)
WARNING: 'alias' does not appear to be available ... (ignored)
pine doesn't exist...
WARNING: smbfsx cannot be accepted, it doesn't exist ...
and others...
what do i do about these things? should i use this to file bugreports?
AND also
i found a BUG (shock horror) in the debian-cd stuff, basically it uses
NONUS as a flag AND for the path of the mirror. i have "fixed" mine
quickly and it seems work fine, but i'm not sure if my fixes are correct
and consistant with the code (look out for a bugreport ... coming to a bug
tracking server near YOU!), so please someone check it for me.
ok, thats it for the moment, on the the next part of this mission of mine!
cya and thanks,
Paul
ps if this is getting too heavy for the list, please suggest another way
of getting all this done (hopefully this will just take 1 or 2 emails to
you gurus).
