Package: fai-server Version: 3.4.5 Severity: important Calling fai-mirror is broken. This is because of the fix for #600715. Attached is a detailed description.

[...] Indeed, IMHO this problem will occur in all cases. It's caused by the recent bugfix of #600715. With this bugfix install_packages does: print "$0: reading config files from directory $classpath\n"; Before it was a warn instead of the print, sending the result to stderr. This nicely fixed #600715, but it interferes with make-fai-nfsroot, which uses the output of install_packages: install_packages -l -p$cfdir > $NFSROOT/var/tmp/packages.nfsroot AFAIK this is the only use of this kind, hence it would be ok to keep the bugfix of #600715, but we need a fix of make-fai-nfsroot (which would be a grep -v). Thomas, here's where your input is needed: Would something like install_packages -l -p$cfdir | grep -v "install_packages: reading config files from" > $NFSROOT/var/tmp/packages.nfsroot be fine with you? I guess we'll need a 3.4.6, however, as fai-mirror is probably broken in all cases with the current situation. Yet I am not quite happy with the above grep-solution as a change of install_packages' output will again break things. Best regards, Michael
