Re: Reducing the complication of choices in console-setup udeb config: first thought
Quoting Samuel Thibault (sthiba...@debian.org): However, I still think we should be selective in it. For instance, I don't see any purpose in having a keymap for Oriya/India while we don't support Oriya in D-I. Why not? Even if we're not able to provide messages in the native language of the user, it's still _very_ useful for the user to be able to type mails in his own language. This is not how the reasoning was made all along D-I early development and not how console-data was maintained. Keymaps were added to the udeb of console-data only when the given language was supported. And, as of now, there has been no deep complaint that it should be done otherwise. I think anyway we should be in some way selective about what keymaps are proposed and not add any random keymap because it's added to xkeyboard-config and that's the first one for Klingon. The world of keymaps is a big mess (and, indeed, xkeyboard-config does not make it bettersee the number of variants for some keymaps)and the point of keymap selection in D-I is more providing with a good general support for users Still, that's quite a minor issue (whether we have 68 or 107 proposed keymaps). I would more like to have an idea whether a scheme with a reduced number of possibilities is accepted or not before we start hacking on this (that requires debconf templates that would be specific to the udeb as well as a specific .conf script...which would be much much smaller). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

My point was that there are a lot of different keyboards for the various languages (please note that my script doesn't show any variant) and at some point we could want to support them all, so we have to wonder how to present the choice among a hundred of them.

At the very least the impact on or consequences for debian-cd should have been discussed *before* the change was made. It's one thing to say that something is premature, but the previous situation was just a deadlock. There have been improvements of the use of Recommends during Lenny. Maybe not as many as needed, but still. debootstrap is a slightly odd case (because it's also used to construct explicitly minimal systems, in which case the rules seem different) and I've long been unsure about how it should behave. Maybe it just needs an option for it. I can agree to some extend with debootstrap although you could also argue that we should be consistent, maybe with an expert option to _consistently_ ignore Recommends for those who want a bare minimal install. IMO there is no justification to treat packages installed by base-installer or other components using apt-install differently from those installed by tasksel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

retitle 480899 incomplete split prevents installation of cdebconf-gtk
severity serious
thanks
cdebconf needs a package split (or possibly more than one) so that the
gtk+ frontend is optional, along with it's dependencies.
The package split has happened but the default package still depends on
GTK+ as it still contains the gtk frontend which needs to be optional
to allow use of cdebconf within a buildd chroot.

We already have several changes that have resulted in bugs or regressions for which nobody is taking any responsibility. Yes, a non-inactive person to handle this in tasksel would have done much better than me. As a general comment, not as a personal attack: IMHO this kind of change really should not be made unless one is willing to follow up on it. The same goes for the switch to c-s and the switch to grub2. Pushing for implementing changes just because they are on some ToDo or release goals list without being willing to take any responsibility for the change and even do a basic review and testing is a sure way to lower the quality of D-I. The same also goes for proposing patches: if you're not even willing to test your own patches, then don't start on them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

[patch] netcfg get_all_ifs()
This patch substitutes Linux-specific code in get_all_ifs() using getifaddrs().
I tested this patch on (linux-)i386 trunk monolithic.
It builds and seems to work without regressions.
I only tested on default qemu, and the network seems to behave as
usual (I didn't complete the installation, but it seems to
download/unpack/configure downloaded packages).
I tested this patch in a draft hackish port of netcfg on kfreebsd-i386
(see d-i kfreebsd branch), and it builds.
netcfg is not working on kfreebsd-i386, but at least now it creates a
saner /etc/network/interfaces (i.e. with ed0, not eth0).
Cheers,
Luca Favatella
P.S.
At the moment I'm trying to port netcfg on GNU/kFreeBSD.
If reading the code of netcfg you find some Linux-specific code that
could be easily rewritten to be more portable (at least on GNU/k*BSD),
please try to get it in trunk or drop me a patch.

[D-I] Please test Debian Installer with console-setup (2nd version)
A *second version* of test D-I images with console-setup replacing kbdchooser has been built. It includes several recent fixes and evolutions for console-setup udebbased on the invaluable contributions by testers, particularly Frans Pop. I would appreciate if these images could be tested, particularly in various languages. It is suggested to test localized installations of a standard system, not necessarily with X, and check whether things work as expected on the installed system (particularly display at the console as well as the keymap used in the console). Please note that there have been *very few* tests of all this and it is then expected that you find bugs..:-) If you provide feeback, please do so by answering to this mail, keeping both lists CC'ed (but *don't* CC me as I read both lists!).

[patch] installer ufs initrd support (how to create a ufs filesystem as a normal user?)
This patch adds ufs initrd support.
It was in the previous d-i kfreebsd branch, so thanks to Robert Millan.
This code has the bad thing that mkfs.ufs must be executed as root,
and I don't know how to create a ufs filesystem on kfreebsd without
being root.
Comments on how to create a ufs filesystem as a normal user?
I use this on kfreebsd-i386.
