Re: Mirrors, it is nice, but after a week no one is up to date
Oh sorry guys, I did not get the cc. My mistake... "if I would know I would not come". The faults are volontary. It is coming from a child mouth in "The War of the Buttons". I was saying I was discovering there was a script that gets all data and create a bootable ISO image. Much better to get "C which seems to be not yet available... So I will use this method instead of waiting for...CD mirrors to be up2date. Finally, I was considering I was trustable to provide this Debian source for my company, as I head the security department :-) Thanks guys At 11:51 22/04/2001 +0200, Alexander Skwar wrote: >So sprach Laurent LEVIER am Sun, Apr 22, 2001 at 11:45:24AM +0200: >> Raph, >> >> "si j'aurais su j'aurais pas venu" :-)... >> >> Il y a donc un script qui indique tout l'arbre a prendre, et qui genere une image >ISO bootable... >> >> Super...Je vais exploiter cette methode plutot que d'attendre la dispo chez les >miroirs. >> Je serais de toute facons accrediter a fournir la debian, vu que c'est pour ma >boite seulement, et que je gere le departement securite, je dois donc etre un peu >trustable :-) > >Could you please say that again in German/English? > >Alexander Skwar >-- >How to quote: http://learn.to/quote (german) http://quote.6x.to (english) >Homepage: http://www.digitalprojects.com | http://www.iso-top.de > iso-top.de - Die günstige Art an Linux Distributionen zu kommen >Uptime: 1 day 13 hours 28 minutes Laurent LEVIER IT Systems & Networks, Unix System Engineer Security Specialist Argosnet Security Server : http://www.Argosnet.com "Le Veilleur Technologique", "The Technology Watcher" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Uh? The ISO images aren't available, that's for sure. But the individual packages are. For example, ftp.debian.org has it -> ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/mirrors/debian/dists/Debian2.2r3 When will the ISO images (or even just the .list files) be available?

It's called debian-cd. :) However when you build the CDs yourself you're not providing official debian CDs.

For all architectures, on a reasonably quick machine, probably a minimum of 6 hours (that would need a quicker machine than I've got ;-), and that's assuming that the archive is in a clean state, which it currently is not. While it's true that open.hands.com has been crashing a lot recently, that is not the main reason I've not built images. I've actually succeeded in doing 2 & 2 halfs of CD production runs, between crashes, but the fact that the non-US/Contents file was broken, and that the package pool links for a few packages were wrong, means that the images were not 100% right, and while it might be OK to release the main archive with minor flaws, I'm of the oppinion that we should not release the CDs until all known fixable bugs are fixed, because downloading a load of CD images takes a long time, and if you then find that you're missing the one thing you were really intreested in, you're not going to be happy. When it comes to people that want to press CDs in quantity (which is the whole motivation behind the "official" CD images, after all) the reasons not to release are magnified yet further. If CD production were a trivial 5 minute thing, then I wouldn't bother with making official images. The fact is that it isn't, which is why it's worth doing them, and as long as I'm doing them you're going to have to put up with my anal "100% right, or not at all" attitude. If that's not to your liking, go ahead, get a copy of debian-cd and make your own --- it's not hard really. It takes a certain amount of attention to detail, and several hours, but it's not difficult.

Raph, "si j'aurais su j'aurais pas venu" :-)... Il y a donc un script qui indique tout l'arbre a prendre, et qui genere une image ISO bootable...

Re: Mirrors, it is nice, but after a week no one is up to date
Ok, so for guys waiting for ISO images, it would be great to have a simple script to create them. I mean a script that provides the list of files/trees, and the (I guess) mkisofs command with appropriate parameters and associated files to build automagically the ISO image. This way, at the moment when the distribution is made, it is 5 minutes to create the new ISO image...

Mirrors, it is nice, but after a week no one is up to date
Gentlemen, You should really consider being more opened for Debian downloads... The 2.2rev3 is not available on ANY of the listed sites, whatever the format is. I wish to download it to provide our Intranet users (more than 10 000) on our FTP site. Can you help ?
