OK, having had my arse kicked by AJ, I'm going to spend a bit of time trying to get Lart and balloon working with D-I - Can D-I work down a serial console as primary interface? If not then it's no good on these platforms, and I'll take a look at riscpc instead.
I had looked at this a while ago, but since it moved to D-I, my cvs copy was broken, so extra faff was involved and Vince said he was doing it so I let it slide. However it turns out that vince is too busy with kernels to manage D-I porting as well so it hasn't happened, which means I need to sort out alioth CVS use. I've just signed up (set a password) for my account so I can wander round the web stuff, but I can't do a non-anymous cvs checkout: CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/d-i co debian-installer <snip> [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Permission denied, please try again. Do I need to wait for something to get updated (at midnight?) or do I need adding as a developer to the project to get userid cvs access? If so can someone do that please? thanx Presumably adding me to a project as a developer means it will appear on my 'home page' list too? And I've just opened my debian-boot mailbox for the first time in quite a while to find 15,000 new messages (and 16,000 old ones). You _have_ all been busy :-) Once I can check out a version that I know I'll be able to do commits on I'll get stuck in (or do I need to work on an anymous checkout until some competence is shown? - I hope not that's a faff we can all do without). I used to know how b-f worked, but don't know much about d-i. Is there a porters doc I should read before getting stuck in, or any other useful getting-started info? I've got plenty of other comitments like everyone else of course, especially emdebian, which I don't want to let slide as it's actually getting somewhere right now, but the continued lack of an arm d-i port is becoming critical so I should try and do my bit. Anything else adminy that needs doing, or things I should know?
