Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.0.2
Severity: important
While in Bhutan, I did some work adding packages from a local repository
to CDs. This worked fine then (before the debian-cd restructuring) by
setting LOCAL=1 and having LOCALDEBS point to some directory outside the
mirror.
The current debian-cd possibly still supports "local" if it is _part_ of
the mirror structure, but not if LOCALDEBS is set outside the mirror
structure. IMO this is an important regression, especially for CDDs.
A build where I tried that resulted in:
Using ISOLINUX boot-disks image on CD1
Starting the md5sum.txt file
Placing packages into image 1
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/home/fjp/projects/debian-cd/tools/add_packages line 53, <LIST> chunk 1.
unable to stat file
/srv/debmirror-sarge/debian/binary-i386/base-config/base-config_2.53.10.3_all.deb:
No such file or directory
make: *** [image-trees] Error 2
This clearly shows that it looks under the mirror directory, while that
version of base-config was actually in:
/srv/debmirror-sarge/debian-local/dists/sarge/local/binary-i386/base-config/
The main problem seems to be in make_disc_trees, which does not know about
LOCALDEBS at all, although I suspect there are problems elsewhere as
well.

Turns out this was an error on my side in the way I generated the Packages
file for the local repository.
I suggest reverting the code changes that were made as a result of the
confusion I caused :-/
My apologies.
