I'm merging this bug #484121 which already contains a discussion of gnome CD burning tools. Notably: I realize that every gnome user has a different opinion about which CD burner to use, but my understanding, which is borne out by popcon, is that brasero is only relatively close to the top of the pack because it was the default in sarge. Tasksel used to use brasero, before it changed to gnomebaker. Excluding default installations, serpentine has gained a larger number of users in tasksel than any past gnome CD burning package. (The complete sad/funny history so far: bonfire - brasero - gnomebaker - serpentine.) Serpentine and nautilus-cd-burner are what the gnome team is recommending now; I intend to follow them. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Running at critical priority should be identical to running at low priority and taking the default for everything. I wonder if we should set the first value of the country list as the selected value here. In most cases this will be a better default than the default at http/mirror, even if that's changed from ftp.d.o. We then get to validate_mirror(), which gets the selected mirror (ftp.d.o) and next calls 'mirror_root(mirror)'. The return value of that is set as directory. This must be the function that returns the (null) value and causes the incorrect wget later. The cause for the null value seems to be that the entry for ftp.d.o in the mirror master list looks like this: Site: ftp.debian.org Alias: saens.debian.org Alias: debian-mirror.cs.umn.edu Type: Push-Primary Archive-architecture: amd64 i386 X-Archive-http: /debian/ X-Archive-ftp: /debian/ The last two lines should not have the X- prefix! Essentially ftp.d.o does not have a mirror_root defined in the master list. Joy changed this in 1.1156: date: 2007-12-07 18:26:14 -0500; author: joy; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2; commented out Archive-* fields for ftp.debian.org, so that it doesn't even appear in lists, other than for sponsorship purposes I'd appreciate some input how to deal with this and also if the needed changes could be made by someone with more C skills than I have. Detecting the problem and failing at runtime can be done (and I've done it), but displaying the mirror/bad error to the user when they just took the default only highlights that the installer is broken, it doesn't really fix the problem. The best way to avoid the problem seems to be to check, at build time, that the default is actually present in the C struct, and if not, abort the build. Alternatively, remove the default entirely, and let debconf pick a default, which should be the first mirror listed in the generated selection list, which is ordered with push-primary mirrors first, so it will be a fairly good mirror. (Modulo issues like ftp.us.debian.org being an often-inconsistent set of multiple mirrors..) However, if what you said in your first paragraph is right, this doesn't happen at critical priority for some reason? -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Debconf will throw out the default value and pick the 1st value if the default is not in the select list. So yes, I think there is a cdebconf bug here (cloning). And I think that bug should be fixed, because it makes d-i more complex by making it behave unnecessarily differently at different priorities. It doesn't make sense to work around the cdebconf bug in choose-mirror by implementing what cdebconf should do. It doesn't make sense to have a default *at all* if the Mirrors.masterlist can be updated to drop the default mirror at any time. Also, the default was only ever used for US. Seem like the (null) bug could have occurred even before ftp.debian.org was broken, when installing in another country. So I'm very much leaning toward dropping the default, and letting cdebconf default to the first mirror in the select list. And possibly improving the sorting of the select list if necessary. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Bug#486549: The single partition present on a CMS minidisk is not supported (s390/s390x only)
To be honest: that is not very likely. Especially not in this case. Suppose we push them all upstream and only one upstream actually picks it up and we implement that. That would still leave us nowhere... I see what you mean. It's double or nothing. Without mke2fs support for respecting the RECOMP area (and mkreiserfs, and all other supported file systems), support for IPLing zipl from a CMS minidisk is a moot point. zipl will never see a RECOMP area because mke2fs (or whatever) wiped it out when the file system was created. I'm afraid that partman is _very_ Debian specific and you're basically talking to the upstream (the team behind debian-boot mailing list). OK. Well, support for recognizing the implicit partition of a CMS minidisk is independent of respecting a RECOMP area. Those are two separate issues. The former is a deficiency in the installer. The latter is an enhancement request. As it stands today, the Debian installer cannot install Debian GNU/Linux to CMS minidisks, period. As far as GNU/Linux itself is concerned, the only part of the filesystem which cannot be on a CMS minidisk is the /boot directory. All other parts of the filesystem and all swap partitions can be on CMS minidisks. But the Debian installer cannot currently handle them. I currently have a Debian GNU/Linux system running in a virtual machine under z/VM that uses CMS minidisks. But I had to install to cdl disks and then use the installer as a rescue floppy to copy the data to CMS minidisks. Another problem is that the dasd_mod driver does not automatically bring CMS minidisks on-line. I had to create a file called dasd in /etc/modprobe.d to supply options to dasd_mod to bring these minidisks online at IPL time. (And then I had to run update-initramfs and zipl.) It worked. But figuring out what to do and how to do it was not trivial. And of course, there is nothing in the install manual about this. I would hardly call this a user-friendly install. Further complicating matters was my desire to use the dasd_diag_mod module to do the I/O, which did not exist in the stock kernel for etch. I had to download the kernel source package and create a custom kernel in order to use dasd_diag_mod. (And then I had to update /etc/modprobe.d/dasd again to tell dasd_mod to use dasd_diag_mod for all the CMS minidisks, and then I had to run update-initramfs and zipl again.) Fortunately, it appears that the 2.6.24 stock kernel for lenny now includes this module. :-) It is possible to get it working. But when it comes to CMS minidisks, Debian for s390 is definitely a hacker's distro only. For what it's worth, the S390 Linux community is a vibrant one. Great. Question is how to translate that into active involvement in the Debian s390 port. Ah, yes. That is the question. I think there would be more involvement (from the development and support perspective) in the Debian s390 port if there were more System z shops using the Debian s390 port. Similarly, there would be more System z shops using the Debian s390 port if it were better supported. As you yourself have admitted, support for this port is pretty thin. In many ways this is a Which came first, the chicken or the egg? scenario. But if it is so difficult to install in an optimal way for a z/VM guest, that is a barrier to wider use. This is going to be a rather long reply. Sorry. But you asked. Let's look at this from IBM's perspective. IBM spent a fortune in the 1990s trying to promote their i386 operating system -- OS/2 -- and lost. They not only lost the desktop (and server) war, they also lost a lot of money. IBM likes Linux because they don't have to spend much money on development and support costs. They don't own it or control it. But then again, neither does Microsoft. :-) On the mainframe platform, they make money with Linux primarily by (a) selling more mainframe hardware to support Linux and (b) by selling software licenses for proprietary software that runs on Linux, such as DB2. They want the Linux community to support their hardware. But they want to keep their support costs down. The more Linux distributions they have to support, the higher their support costs. So they pick a couple of distros to support and ignore the rest. Significantly, they picked two distros that both use rpm-format packages. Here's an example. As I said earlier, I am a z/VM systems programmer at an IBM mainframe shop. I'm getting ready to install z/VM 5.3. One of the enhancements to z/VM 5.3 is that TCP/IP now supports SSL/TLS for its FTP client and FTP server. (I'm talking here about the FTP client and FTP server that run under the CMS operating system.) For some reason, they decided to implement the SSL encryption and decryption in a separate service machine which runs Linux. (I suppose it was cheaper than porting the entire SSL support infrastructure to CMS.) That's an

But when it comes to CMS minidisks, Debian for s390 is definitely a hacker's distro only. All the above is complete Greek too me because I don't have any context. And it sounds like you already did the hard part: you managed to get it working. That means you are the expert now. Tell us *in detail* what is missing and what manual steps were required to get it supported. Then *maybe* someone will step up and do the actual integration. But even better: run the installer at medium priority, figure out exactly what needs to happen in which phase, add that in manually and see if it works. Send us the resulting patches. More than 90% of the installer is shell script! Which means it has an extremely low barrier of entry. If you run into a step that is performed by something that is not shell, fine: tell us what should be happening at that point. But even then it should often be possible to create a temporary solution by using some shell code around or next to the C program. Here is some solid basic info that can help you get started with the installer: http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/ And even if you elect to go with an unsupported distro, the software packages that they provide are in rpm format only. Which means that we need people packaging this stuff in .deb format. Do you think that for other platforms we actually wait for vendors to package their stuff for us? We don't, really! It appears that source packages are available. But the source packages are also in rpm format only. There is 'alien' of course (aptitude show alien), but I don't have any personal experience with it and probably isn't really a solution for stuff that's related to hardware as it won't configure things properly. Somehow, you've got to persuade IBM to support Debian. And if they think it will increase their sales enough to make it worth their while, they will. No. That is definitely not how it works! The _community_ has to make it worth for IBM to take an interest. Debian does not go begging. It goes completely against the principles behind the Debian project; Debian does not have some marketing or PR or whatever department that does this. Other vendors have taken an interest because there was a demand from their market, not because Debian came begging at their doorstep! I'm sorry, but I skipped the rest of the mail. It's just a repeat of the same flawed starting point. You're still trying to tell us that we or IBM need to do the work here. That's wrong. The community needs to do the work. That's how free software works, and that's how projects get started. There really is no chicken and egg problem here. You want something done: get doing it!

Bug#479208: debian-installer: text frontend isn't localized
Hello, Samuel Thibault, le Sat 03 May 2008 21:55:39 +0100, a écrit : On Saturday 03 May 2008, Samuel Thibault wrote: When booting the installer (today's daily build of x86 mini.iso) with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text , the language selection is reduced to C and English. Is there a reason for that? The current assumption is that people using the text frontend are probably doing so because they have a very limited environment which may well not be able to handle characters that are not pure ASCII. Well, I would say that that assumption should rather be based on the kind of terminal (i.e. here, serial console, VT console, or framebuffer), not on the kind of debconf frontend. Actually that is already done in localechooser. If braille devices are guaranteed to be able to handle that They do. You'll need to specify what range is supported based on the language levels defined for localechooser (e.g. are CJK languages supported; is Cyrillic or Greek?). Well, it's the same as what the linux console itself can handle, i.e. not CJK, Cyrillic or Greek, just because the fonts are not available in the installer.

Bug#486182: Installed system does not have functioning networking
There are other base-install.d hooks that configure things that could
also be important, and could potentially be overwritten. I found:
console-setup-udeb: /etc/default/console-setup
rootskel: /etc/udev/rules.d/ files (netwinder only)
There could be others now or later.
Suggest the attached changeset.

Subject: [PATCH] redefine base-install.d hooks
live-installer needs these hooks to run after the live system is copied in.
base-installer can get by with running them after deboostrap, and the
existing hooks will work ok if the system is already there.
So, redefine the base-install.d hooks to run after the base system is
extacted, but before the installed system is used in any way (such as
using apt to install additional stuff).

Bug#486926: Installed system does not have correct permissions on directories
Chris Lamb wrote:
Package: live-installer
Severity: normal
Version: 5
After installation via live-installer, permisions on directories are all
0755. This is especially noticable on /tmp, /var/mail, /etc/ssl/private, etc.
If that's the case, the bug should probably be RC; a system with such
busted permissions is generally broken.
And it looks like the bug is that it simply runs mkdir -p before copying
w/o trying to preserve dir perms at all:
if [ -d $item ] [ ! -h $item ]; then
mkdir -p /target/$item
else
mkdir -p /target/$(dirname $item)
rm -f /target/$item
cp -a $item /target/$item
fi
The thing to do seems to be to use tar instead.
I cannot test the attached patch easily, since I have no live CDs to use
it with. Can someone please give it a try?

Right, I guess I'd need to use a read loop to get the lines one at a
time rather than having it buffer. Updated patch attached.

Using C is an interesting idea..
