2.2rev3 CDs (was Re: Stable Release plan)

Please get in touch with the debian-cd list, they should know about cdimage.d.o No, no, the problem is with you. You install packages in the archive and 4 hours later you make the announcement. You need to let one day so that files propagate to mirrors, send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking us to generate the new ISO with the newly installed files and let another day so that ISO images have a chance to propagate too. And only then you should do the announcement. That said, people who usually create the debian-cd images ? What are you doing with 2.2r3 ? Please take care to NOT use the CVS version of debian-cd to generate the images (since I've introduced the new stuff for signed Release file and so on and it's not yet ready for prime time) but rather the last package (or even older ... but not too much). Or you may use the latest debian-cd if you take care to remove manually the rules *-secured in the Makefile. Sorry for having been this silent. In the past few days I've spent many hours on getting debian-cd ready for 2.2 rev3 (issues you mentioned, updated/ redesigned README (matching www.d.o but actually better code) and the long-promised "make-a-useful-CD1" project which involved lots of test runs and a new unexclude feature). I'm mostly finished now, a few things still need some tweaking, then I'll leave it to Phil to generate the new .iso's. The unexclude will be used to move any number of kernel sources to CDx, x=2; the source of only 2.2.19 will be on CD1. However because we currently have 10 (!!) kernel sources in potato, it looks like we're going to have a 4th CD with only 15MB on it. So, unless anyone objects, I think we'd better NOT have the sources of 2.2.10 and possibly 2.2.12 on any CD (which still leaves us 2.2.13, 2.2.15, 2.2.17, 2.2.18pre21, 2.2.18, 2.2.19pre17 and 2.2.19 -- and 2.0.36, 2.0.38 of course).

Changing image 2.2r2 - 2.2r3 via rsynch
Greetings - I am currently creating a set of Debian 2.2r2 cd images. However, I would like to actually burn the 2.2r3 versions. Can I simply rsynch the 2.2r2 images to a 2.2r3 site when they come out? Or do I have to make-pseudo-image and rsynch off of the 2.2r3 images?

The way we're going to be moving the kernel source off of CD#1 may make it slightly less efficient than normal, but it will still work fine.

My copy of debian-cd for 2.2 rev3 is available at http://panic.et.tudelft.nl/~costar/debian-cd-22r3/ I hope I can find time tomorrow to check the stuff into CVS, when I've read enough docs to safely try branching off the Makefile. That's why I'm posting it on the web for the moment. On the same location is the typescript and the interesting parts of the working directory of my final test run. You can use it to check if your images make any sense (esp. md5sums.txt).

Sounds like a good plan. Although I expect that means that it will take several attempts to get them to fit, since this always seems to be the case if you try to fill CDs to the limit :-/ I actually had to exclude four kernels, 2.2.10, 2.2.12, 2.2.13 and 2.2.15, to get rid of the 4th Source CD. For that, I've also added a source-exclude feature. (BTW, this is already set up in the CONF.sh of my package, you should only have to change the various source/destination directories.) Before running, cd dists/potato/main/source/misc/ in the FTP archive and ln -s ../../../../../pool/main/m/mysql/mysql_3.22.32.orig.tar.gz . And maybe it's better to wait for a good version of the non-US Contents.gz; I already sent a report to debian-devel but it might help if more people do ;-) Regards, Anne Bezemer (who's off to bed right now, for he hasn't had very much sleep the past few days...) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
