Hi,

If you are upgrading from potato you probably want to use woody, which
is the ne wstable distribution.  If you want to run testing (sarge)
then you should install stable (woody) and then use apt to upgrade.

Debian Testing Installation

2002-09-02 Thread NiA Tech








Hello.  I have been
running Debian Potato and I am installing a new
system and would like to install the Testing distribution over a network.  I am used to downloading the boot floppies
however the directories (disks-1.44) does not exist anymore in the dists/testing path. 
I have read some information about debian-installer
but I am confused.  Is this the new way
of installing debian? 
If so where can I download it? 
What do I need?  Someone help?

 

Thank you for your time and patience.

 

Ciao

 

Roberto

[d-i] Problem with lmod-detect-pci

2002-09-02 Thread Stephen Depooter

The debian/control file for the lmod-detect-pci module seems to be
wrong.  the section is set to admin, while all the other modules have
the section set to debian-installer and the rules script creates a
debian/files entry with a debian-installer setting.  

Attached is a cvs diff after I corrected it.  
If I am wrong, feel free to ignore this.

The logic is that it allows us to provide a shared reduced version of
libd-i, or to statically link only the objects we need.

If it looks like a separate .c  files make sense, do that, it is up to
you.

I've added the build-dep, but I don't get a versioned binary depend.

Hmm. Come to think of it, why doesn't libd-i have the SONAME in the
package name? I haven't packaged any shared libraries so I'm not sure
how it works...

Yes, both would be good.

If you have the shlibs set properly, that should happen.
I haven't looked at libd-i yet, so I cannot tell.

Yeah, few months ago, some people came to the crazy idea of making

Try booting with other CDs or specify another flavor on the boot prompt.

It would even not be 100% accurate, but translators can decide whether
providing another default for their language does make sense.

But still, language is orthogonal to country. You don't want to
translate the country, not even the default value. If we always used the

I am unable to make it work, could you give the exact command-line options?

In base-config, you wrote
dh_installdebconf
#  Merge in all templates.
debconf-mergetemplate --drop-old-templates debian/templates.* \
   debian/templates > debian/base-config/DEBIAN/templates
echo >> debian/base-config/DEBIAN/templates
debconf-mergetemplate --drop-old-templates apt-setup.templates.* \
   apt-setup.templates >> debian/base-config/DEBIAN/templates

Maybe templates files could be placed directly under debian/ and then run

dh_installdebconf
for TYPE in dhcp static; do \
  echo >> debian/netcfg-$$TYPE/DEBIAN/templates; \
  debconf-mergetemplate --drop-old-templates \
debian/netcfg-common.templates.* \

I was unclear, sorry, here is the problematic template:

   The goal is to find a mirror that is close to you on the network -- be

What is there to translate? It's just a list of hostnames. I'd be more
worried about e.g. the main-menu, but I think it will use translated
package descriptions, right?

Of course, if there's static English text substituted into a template at
runtime, that is horribly broken and must be fixed.

How to handle dependencies on unreleased packages?

2002-09-02 Thread Martin Sjögren

I'm getting ready to commit my changes that make anna and main-menu
share Packages-file parsing code. They do so by a function in libd-i.
This means that if you want to build anna or main-menu after I've
committed, you first have to build and install the new libd-i, which is
still unreleased.

Should I let anna and main-menu build-depend on libdebian-installer-dev
(>= 0.04) so you'll be forced to rebuild libd-i first? Is that enough,
or should I add an explicit binary dependency on libdebian-installer (>=
0.04) too?

Martin
