Tweaking tasks
Hiya, Following up from the thread about lack of space... A couple of weeks back I rewrote the task support in debian-cd to deal with the change from tasks-in-Packages to task meta-packages. After a lot of local testing, today is the first time the weeklies have been built using the new code. There's probably some more tweaking due for Recommends handling yet, but this seems to work at the moment. Here's a summary of what fits where, for amd64 CDs. On i386, space is used even more quickly so the desired tasks are pushed further down; AFAICS this is because of two flavours worth of kernel modules being picked up. Gnome = The last package on amd64 CD#1 is libgjs0b. task-desktop fits on CD#1, but task-gnome-desktop is ~90 packages into CD#2. gnome-shell-common doesn't even make CD#1, which means the desktop will be a little... sparse. The full sorted package list is at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/tmp/new-tasks/gnome-cd.list.gz KDE === The last package on amd64 CD#1 is plasma-widget-lancelot. task-desktop fits on CD#1, but task-kde-desktop is about 40 packages into (what would be) CD#2. The full sorted package list is at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/tmp/new-tasks/kde-cd.list.gz LIGHT (lxde/xfce) = The last package on amd64 CD#1 is python-libxml2. The core tasks fit fine (task-desktop, task-lxde-desktop, task-xfce-desktop), well within the the space of CD#1.

Weekly build, source DVD set, fails last 4 times at maelstrom
Hi, On the cdimage webpage for the Wheezy weekly build for source distribution set, http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/source/ , the last full build was 14 May, all 4 later weekly builds failed with as last line of the log file: (2012-05-21 Full DVD build logfile) pool/main/m/maelstrom/maelstrom_1.4.3-L3.0.6.orig.tar.gz not found under either /org/cdbuilder.debian.org/src/ftp/debian or /org/cdbuilder.debian.org/src/ftp/debian make: *** [image-trees] Error 2 the same at 2012-05-28, 2012-06-04, and today 2012-06-11.

No problem... I dropped the ball on this ages ago, and totally forgot
about it until you reminded me recently :-/
The last package on amd64 CD#1 is libgjs0b. task-desktop fits on CD#1,
but task-gnome-desktop is ~90 packages into CD#2. gnome-shell-common
doesn't even make CD#1, which means the desktop will be a

Is this with or without Recommends of tasks?
This is with Recommends of tasks, yes. It wouldn't go very far
otherwise.
Does it omit the (probably uncessary) Recommends of packages
recommended by tasks?
No, not yet at least. To be honest, I've had a lot of pressure to just
add all the Recommends anyway recently to match what people would
install by default. That's what I've done so far.
The code changes should be reasonably easy to follow if you want to
look - see the new version of tools/update_tasks. It plumbs into the
existing set of tasks, generating task-{essential,full}-$desktop based
on the task packages that we find listed in tasksel-data. Then the
existing sort_deps code is used to pull in the dependencies and
recommends for the task packages. This seems to work OK without having
to make major structural changes to debian-cd. Review/comments
welcome, of course... :-)

That's what I've done so far. It's complicated. Sometimes we drop a package from a direct Recommends in a task-* package because a metapackage like gnome has the same Recommends. I do feel that deeper recommends could be omitted (or sorted to the end of the package list) and get a working CD, but it would require testing. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: debian Wheezy DVD-1: installer cannot find ethernet card (2012-6-7)
Further information: The card now lists (lspci) as Atheros AR8151 v2.0. I get the same problem with the most recent business-card size net install, downloaded and install attempted around 9PM New York time, Jun 11. (1 PM New Zealand time, Jun 12). A net-install that can't find the NIC is a little less than useful. :-) Anyone have a clue as to what's going on? Did I maybe catch the weekly build in a partially-complete state? Phil
