I commented already and though that Riku would apply it. Anyway, d-i SVN is frozen right now, but I'll apply this patch when it's open for commits again. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It was probably forgotten because it was only sent to the mailing list and not filed against the appropriate package. Please use the BTS when submitting patches. Preferably it should be applied or at least commented on by the D-I arm porter (tbm) who is on VAC ATM. Cheers, FJP signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[RFCi,patch] Consolidate arm partitioning
Noticed while testing using d-i to install to arm subarch not supported by debian, that a relatively scary. "This partitioner doesn't have information about the default type of partition tables.." Warning is thrown, and then user needs to select the partition type. All *supported* arm/armel platforms use "msdos" for hard disks[1], and any modern arm system would too. So I suggest defaulting to msdos, and adding any exceptions if found. -Riku [1] Installation to raw flash via mtd subsystem would be a different story. but that's not relevant as we don't support installing to mtd. Also all of the flash storages large enough to fit the bloat of debian are not raw flash, but something that attempts to emulate a hard disk/SD card/usb thumbdrive... -- "rm -rf" only sounds scary if you don't have backups Index: lib/disk-label.sh === --- lib/disk-label.sh (revision 55159) +++ lib/disk-label.sh (working copy) @@ -18,34 +18,8 @@ else echo msdos fi;; - arm|armel) - case "$sub" in - iop32x) - echo msdos;; - iop33x) - echo msdos;; - ixp4xx) - echo msdos;; - orion5x) - echo msdos;; - riscstation) - echo msdos;; - netwinder) - echo msdos;; - ads) - echo msdos;; - versatile) - echo msdos;; - *) - echo UNKNOWN;; - esac;; - armeb) - case "$sub" in - ixp4xx) - echo msdos;; - *) - echo UNKNOWN;; - esac;; + arm|armeb|armel) + echo msdos;; amd64) case "$sub" in mac)
