Hi, a short update: Now I added the debian-installer component to my experimental live DVD, and I can try to do an installation, but it screws up in "installing the base system" INFO: Menu item 'bootstrap-base' selected base-installer: error: exiting on error base-installer/debootstrap-faile

[DNG] int essid_alloc is causing valgrind to report a series of errors

Dear All, The problem according to my logic seems to be result is used in a branch control expression before it is initialised. However, I am emailing this to have other opinions. int essid_alloc( size_t length, char ** result ) { char * tmp; if(length==0 || !res

Is there a reason why you need to write such a wrapper around calloc()? It adds very little since calloc already sets errno. Plus it's a rather unnatural construct for an allocator to return the allocated buffer this way. if ((err = essid_alloc(len, &buf)) != 0) handle_error(err); if (!(b

Hi Frits, I will do some clarifications about debian-installer: 1.- A wrong name of the distribution in .disks/info may screws up in a failure of the installer at the time of mounting /proc in the target. But this is not the case. 2.- Although being OK all the Packages.gz, i.e. the indices i

Hi Aitor, Frits I have a live-build environment setup on devuan alpha 2. It's pretty much the same as the one I use for my debian builds. I can't find a Devuan repo that works though. So until they are setup properly I'm wasting my time. Cheers Ozi On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 2:54 AM, aitor_czr
