live_update has been broken for a while now, at least the mirror I've been
getting code from has it broken. The live_update script is looking for a
file that doesn't exist, and tries to run from CD when it can't find the
file. The lines from live_update in the cooker/i586 directory follow:
if [ ! -x "$distrib/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/live_install" ];
then
distrib="/mnt/cdrom"
fi
There is a file $distrib/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/live_install2
present. If I change the cooker/i586/live_install to use this file, then I
get a cascade of missing file messages, for both code and images (.png).
This follows a period where live_update terminated with another kind of error.
Is live_update going to be be a viable method to update a cooker system in
the future, or should it be dropped?
Thanks,
Paul
