 So IMO:

   using the Packages file for that arch; for source-only CDs we should
   use i386 with fallback to amd64, and fail otherwise

   - for binary or binary/source CDs: prefer i386, with fallback to:
 1) amd64
 2) arches listed in $ARCHES
   - for source-only CDs: use i386, with fallback to amd64, and fail
 otherwise

But, given the reasons I gave in [1], we could also do this a bit 
differently and as a bonus improve the task expansion:

* if ARCHES contains a single arch OR a single arch + source, then
  use that arch
* if ARCHES contains multiple arches or is source-only, then use i386
  with a fallback to the arches listed in ARCHES

In fact, I'd say the simplest answer would be to pick the first named
arch. If we're doing source-only then don't run update_tasks at
all. How does that sound?

Bug#514237: debian-cd: Support non-i386 mirrors, and support D-I modules in non-main

Bad IMO. It means:
- m-a image may be different when built with i386 amd64 than when built
  with amd64 i386; this is even more true for i386 powerpc versus
  powerpc i386; IMO the order in which arches are listed should not
  change the resulting image
- source only set will have packages in in a completely different order
  from the corresponding binary set

It's always likely to, though: imagine if we don't have the space for
the two different-arch versions of the last package in the image. The
order that we add things is likely going to affect which one is missed
out.

- source only set will have packages in in a completely different order
  from the corresponding binary set

Personally, I don't care in the slightest. In fact, I'd be surprised
if the tasks affect the source builds at all right now... For
source-only sets, I normally expect them to just be in alphabetical
order. Testing that now.

Yo continuaría la descarga con jigdo. Así prácticamente todo lo que ya
has descargado no se perderá. Sólo se descargarían los paquetes que
cambiaron. Usa la dirección [1] para descargar los archivos que se le
pasan de parámetro a jigdo-lite y cuando te pregunte por los archivos a
escanear le pasas la dirección donde hayas montado el .iso.

In fact, simply looking at the lenny RC2 images you can see that
sources are in alphabetical order. We may as well simply not do
anything in the $(TASKDIR): target for a source-only build and save
the processing time. Agreed?

That's an edge case. I'm talking about packages going missing completely 
because they are e.g. available for i386, but not for powerpc. Which 
means that if you run update_tasks based on powerpc the packages just 
won't be there on the early CDs.

As I've mentioned before in this thread the only correct solution is to 
somehow run update_tasks for each arch and merge them. But that will only 
result in a really stable list if the merge is effectively done 
line-by-line (a package that is listed 5th for a task for the second arch 
should not end up below a package that is listed 200th for the same task 
for the first arch, or even worse after the packages for all tasks for 
the first arch).

The problem is not trivially solvable and because of that I'd prefer to 
use a logic that is at least predictable and gives the best result for 
our primary architectures.

I don't know. I'd have to check in detail why tasks get ignored (for which 
I'm not motivated) and IMO this is the wrong time to be making such 
changes anyway. You're not going to get any real testing or feedback

I think I already cope with that, actually: I saw this problem coming
when I started doing multi-arch CDs. If you look at the code in
tools/merge_package_lists you'll see how that works.

Understood. I'm looking into this now to help fix the bugs Enrico
raised, which I'm told are causing real problems for CDD users. From
review of the code, I'm quite certain it's not going to affect us for
our builds, but it should make a big difference for others.
