I assumed you all would read the list. I mean
https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2026/03/msg00157.html
I begin to see (after 25 years of being a DD) why we keep failing to
attract newcomers if we already manage to piss off veterans trying to
poke into an existing team.
I am now trying to wedge myself into the code. However, building fails.
I did:
mr bootstrap
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/d-i/raw/master/.mrconfig
You may want to fulfill deps, i.e.:
apt build-dep debian-installer
Verify that the build dependencies are all met using:
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
as instructed at:
< https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Build >
That's also in the README, and I followed that. Please stop reading if
you think I am stupid and unexperienced.
Familiarize yourself with files like:
debian/control
build/config/dir
build/config/common
as well as those specific to your architecture, i.e., for x86_64, for
instance:
build/config/amd64.cfg
and those under relevant directory
i.e.,
build/config/amd64/
The documentation says that you just need to build. I am finished with
Debian installer for today. Thank you for making me enjoy my sunday
without Debian work.
Greetings
Marc
