I'm using debian-cd to create custom woody CDs using a special boot-floppies set I built which includes the megaraid2 driver in a bf2.4 kernel. This driver, backported from 2.5, is necessary to install on certain newer megaraid controllers that the 1.13 megaraid driver series will never support. I plan to make all of this available when finished so others can install woody onto hardware which requires the megaraid2 driver.
That said, I'm getting curious error messages from mirrorcheck in debian-cd. I've created a complete up-to-date mirror of woody/main and woody/contrib using debmirror. Everything seems to work okay except that mirrorcheck cannot find any of the potato packages that are part of woody. I have verified that they exist in $MIRROR/dists/potato/, where debmirror placed them. Here is a sample of the output from mirrorcheck: wooderson:/usr/share/debian-cd# make mirrorcheck Apt-get is updating his files ... Ign file: woody/local Release Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... File dists/potato/main/binary-all/comm/adbbs_3.0-1.1.deb can't be found ... File dists/potato/main/binary-i386/utils/cce_0.36-1.1.deb can't be found ... File dists/potato/main/binary-i386/web/cern-httpd_3.0A-3.deb can't be found ... It will report the same error for every single potato package that exists in the Packages file for woody. It reports no other errors, in either the woody files or my own LOCALDEBS tree. Has anyone seen this or have an idea as to why it's happening? Glancing the source of the debian-cd/tools/mirror_check script there does not seem to be any reason that if this script works for woody packages it would not work for potato packages in the same archive directory. I am able to continue working towards an install CD. This is not a critical problem, and I'm not certain whether it's a bug. If this rings any bells, please respond. It's chafing my obsessive compulsive tendencies. =) Thanks, Brandon D. Valentine -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geekpunk.net Pseudo-Random Googlism: nashvegas is open eight days a week
