Re: sources.list per host
Hi, I there a way to have a sources.list during the installation (and when the system is installed) for some specific hosts. E.g. we have rolled our own multipath packages and I don't want to include that repository on each machine. I could use a script that appends that repository and then do an update; and install using that repository. But then I can't use the package_config/CLASS for adding software. An ideal way would be to be to say if class X is defined use sources.list.X instead of sources.list. Would it suffice if you fcopy'd sources.list at the right time? We're doing that to some extend, using the hook updatebase.DEFAULT: #!/bin/bash if ! echo $classes | grep -q FAICD ; then fcopy -Bi /etc/apt/sources.list fi fcopy -Bi /etc/kernel-img.conf fcopy -Bi /etc/apt/preferences HTH, Michael signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Is there already away (or work arround) to achieve this?
use fcopy in a hook replacing the prepareapt task; I am using the following
file as $FAI/hooks/prepareapt.DEFAULT:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#!/bin/bash
# $Id: prepareapt.DEFAULT,v 1.1 2005/05/03 14:16:51 glaweh Exp $
#
# HG: use fcopy for apt preparation
fcopy -i etc/{hosts,hostname,resolv.conf}
fcopy -ri etc/apt
fcopy -ri etc/dpkg
skiptask prepareapt
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
then you have to put your class-dependent sources.lists into
$FAI/files/etc/apt/sources.list/$CLASSNAME
(and if you want to use my hook verbatim, also the remaining files I fcopy
there).
