resolv binary (partman-nbd) broken

Hi, When installing / to NBD, partman-nbd needs to set up some boot-time parameters so the NBD server can be found by the initrd. Unfortunately, since the initrd does not have a working resolver configured, that means we need to resolve DNS names to IP addresses in the installer. For that

Package: partman-nbd Version: 0.18 Severity: minor I just noticed that partman-nbd doesn't detect when NBD devices are connected or disconnected right away. While I know what the issue is[1], the issue is pretty minor (everything works, it's just a bit confusing), but the fix might be somewhat

do-upload fails on !i386 for partman-nbd

Hi, Tried to do an upload of partman-nbd, but it failed. The reason is this bit of code: |arch=`grep Architecture debian/control | head -n 1 | sed 's,.*: ,,g'` |if echo $arch | grep -q `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH`; then |arch=`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH` |else |

converting a hostname to an IP address

Hi, Yesterday, I committed a change to nobootloader so it also shows the output of user-params in the kernel command line, and changed partman-nbd so it will output a correct nbdroot= parameter. With that, users should be shown a working kernel command line provided they entered the server by IP
