I am trying to build my own d-i CD, so that I can add fakeraid support using dmraid.
I have followed the instructions at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Build - I have all the necessary packages, so that dpkg-checkbuilddeps returns nothing. I have created sources.list.udeb.local, but that was ignored because it did not end in .list, so I renamed it sources.udeb.local.list and stuck it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and it works. Or rather, it half works. The 'deb' line works, so I can make images. But I tried to put an identical deb-src line in, and do apt-get source hw-detect so that I can add a call to dmraid, but that doesn't work. I get the error Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/Release Unable to find expected entry main/debian-installer/sources/Sources in Meta-Index file (malformed Release file?) ... which means, I presume, that the udeb sources are not there. I cannot find anything in the debian-installer/doc dir, or on the d-i wiki, about installing udeb sources so you can actually change them, make your new installer and then send in a patch. Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but what am I doing wrong? Thanks, CC -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
