Re: [D-I] mass kernel udeb update and preparations for RC1

This is the first time using the 'massbuild' [1] script I wrote recently. Effectively this means that d-i porters won't really have to worry anymore about updating kernel udebs after uploads by the kernel team. Only if the kernel major/minor changes will I request porters to do the upload themselves. For stable releases (including ABI changes) I intend to do these mass builds and do the uploads myself. Hopefully this will help the speed with which kernel udebs are updated and allow you all to spend more time testing d-i ;-) Of course porters are still responsible for maintaining which modules will be included for each arch/flavor. If you have changes between kernel major/minor releases you can either commit them and upload, or commit them as UNRELEASED and they will be automatically included in the next mass build. The massbuild script can be used for single-arch builds too. Its main advantage is that kernel images don't need to be installed and the certainty that the correct kernel version will be used. Feel free to contact me to help you get started. Some comments on today's upload: - I have used the last released version of kernel-wedge and will normally do that in the future too - I have not really checked or tested the udebs [2], so there could be some surprises; please be alert for them - m68k: I had to update the dependencies from kernel-image to linux-image The road to RC1 === We are slowly moving towards RC1. I plan to post an initial planning later this week. As we get closer to Etch, testing the installer for all arches gets to be more important. Any time you can spend on that is very much appreciated. There are some issues that need attention: * type of initrd used Some arches have already switched to using initramfs for d-i initrds, other arches are still using cramfs or ext2. Please check if a change could/should be made for your architecture. * 2.4 support now officially dropped Starting with RC1 d-i will no longer support 2.4 based installations. All arches have been switched now and some cleanup has been started; more cleanup is expected and this may cause unexpected breakage. * support for non-devfs device names Colin Watson has committed a series of changes to make d-i support non-devfs device names. We will be slowly moving away from using devfs names, but the most intrusive work will be postponed until after Etch. Please check for unexpected breakage though. * partman-auto using LVM and crypto partman-auto-lvm now has been available for some time, but is still not available for all arches. LVM support is a prerequisite for partman-auto-crypto support which will be uploaded soon. Note: swap on LVM should be possible now and is even required for partman-auto-crypto. If you would like to add support for it, please see [3]. Feel free to contact me or David Härdeman (Alphix) for help. * mips: keyboard issues We've had a report about a dead keyboard on installation (#382983).

You probably see the problem - in order to determine the minimum set of missing build dependencies one needs to install them one by one (above warning sometimes contains a load of stuff that is nonsense).

Agreed. Both the logs and the database are kept on a project machine, meaning you'd need to become a developer to get access (unless there are exceptions). I'm just in the queue, so it may be a bit yet. Indirect manipulation of the database is possible via mail interface on the autobuilder. I believe the mail engine currently refuses to further add information to packages in state failed (expecting them to be in state building) but I've not tried recently... Nope, doesn't work. That might be a thing to try - change check_state(Building) to check_state(Building, Failed) for fail replies.

What I have tried for now is to change the kernel of the Debian bootdisk, then bless the floppy with hattrib and try to boot on it. But none of my kernels worked, althought I used the .config from kernel-patch-2.2.19-powerpc and I correctly patched the kernel sources with the patch. Does the latest woody boot-floppies not work on these machines? I wrote some documentation which I haven't managed to commit to the woody installation manual yet. Maybe this will be the boot I need. You'll need to read http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/doc/ch-boot-floppy-techinfo.en.html#s-rescue-replace-kernel and sort of add in the following. If it doesn't make sense, then let's work on improving it. This is based on the miboot system that boot-floppies uses.

Minix file support is not required and I don't think msdos is either. ext2 certainly is? Is hfs? I'd guess not, but it's probably a recommends. snip until after the kernel list Download a set of boot floppies. You will need the hfsutils package installed. Your custom kernel should be named something like vmlinux when you're done building it. You will need to gzip -9 that file. You need to update the boot-floppy-hfs.img disk for initial booting. hmount boot-floppy-hfs.img hcopy -r vmlinux.gz :zImage humount You need to update the rescue disk since the installation gets the files from there. Mount the rescue disk image something like the following. mount -t auto -o loop rescue.bin /mnt Assuming you used /mnt as the mount point, copy your custom kernel to the file linux.gz on /mnt. If you want to be complete about it, you'll also want to gzip the System.map from your custom kernel and place it on /mnt as sys_map.gz and the .config as place it on /mnt as config.gz. Now you can umount your disk image and burn your floppies. One additional caveat, you will probably want to Install Kernel and Driver Modules using the floppies you just built to get your custom kernel installed on the hard drive. HTH, Stephen -- Stephen R.
