Package: fai-client Version: 4.0~beta2+experimental26 Hi,
currently FAI uses a fixed/hard-coded location for the base tarball. This is unfortunate in multi-distribution or multi-arch setups for example. Currently such setups involve duplication of the fai configuration directory and the nfsroot, which shouldn't be neccessary (at least not in all cases). So I suggest to add support for new variable FAI_BASEFILE: This should be as simple as changing task_extrbase in /usr/lib/fai/subroutines. Instead of using a hard-coded local basefile and extracting it, if it exists, and using debootstrap otherwise do something like this: - Check if FAI_BASEFILE is defined. In this case check weither it exists and if yes, use it as basefile. If it is defined but the tarball does not exist print a warning to STDERR. - If basefile exists extract it to /target - If basefile does not exist call debootstrap Regards, Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
