it's been on the TODO list almost as long as simple-cdd existed, but today finally managed to get a somewhat functional udeb to integrate more smoothly with debian-installer and etch.
the udeb is essentially a skeleton, containing no specific CDD information itself, but looks for files in /cdrom/simple-cdd to determine which profiles are available, asks the user which profiles to install, and then loads debconf preseeding and queues up packages for installation in debian-installer. the CD building script essentially just populates this directory(and all the usual packages and such). if we could shake out the bugs in the near future, i'd like to see an upload to debian soon. the wiki has been updated to include the new bzr branches: http://wiki.debian.org/Simple-CDD now that i've seen this work, i have visions of simple-cdd networked installs, too. :) on the down side, repeated troubles with debpartial-mirror have me looking at other mirroring tools. largely reprepro for packages, and rsync for the other files(docs, debian-installer images, etc). it requires implementing dependency resolution, as reprepro doesn't handle that. but i think i can have something workable in the near future. live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
