Package: di-netboot-assistant Version: 0.38a Severity: wishlist Related to #503359 which added support for running d-n-a as a non-privileged user, I would like support for running as part of a build environment that creates a root of d-i images to be used on a tftp server, usb stick, etc. My goal is to have this build environment in a git repo and have a user clone it on their system and do a build.
dkg's original patch using a DI_NETBOOT_ASSISTANT_CONFIG environment variable was actually better in that regard since one could easily override it in build scripts. But I do also like the way #503359 was implemented to look for a ~/.di-netboot-assistant. But the other issue I am running into when trying to create this build environment is absolute paths for things like DL_CACHE and STATUS_LIB. Since I can't know what directory the build will be in, I need some way for these to be relative (or have to resort to complicated hacks). So how about this? 1) a way to override the "root" of d-n-a variables * if an environment variable is set (DNA_ROOT?), use that as the root for other variables, otherwise check for ~/.di-netboot-assistant and then /etc/di-netboot-assistant * if the variable was set or ~/.di-netboot-assistant was found have the following change to be relative to the root DISOURCELIST, DL_CACHE, STATUS_LIB, and possibly TEMPLATES, and TFTP_ROOT 2) a way to override just the config, like dkg's DI_NETBOOT_ASSISTANT_CONFIG and that would allow for other overrides in addition to the above Thanks, -- Matt Taggart tagg...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
