I'm not sure what mirror I'm using or how I can be sure simple-cdd-profiles is included. I executed... ./build-simple-cdd --profiles test --local-packages $(pwd)/../simple-cdd-profiles_0.3.0~1_all.udeb --mirror-tools "reprepro wget" We seem to be making progress, but still issues. Not sure whether the problems are my fumbles or your end. build-simple-cdd seems to go through it's full cycle, but returns with several errors and a warning. And, I see no evidence of *.raw file. -- http://ftp.us.debian.org/robots.txt: Error 404: Not Found -- a whole bunch of "Last-modified header missing" messages... seem to be a bunch of */doc and *doc/FAQ files -- WARNING: missing optional packages from profile.default: localization.config --ls: ~/etch-simple-cdd/tmp//etch-i386/??

I want to walk before I run. this is a very good idea. :) > 4. In simple-cdd.conf, I added "profiles="test" ok. note, that if you specify profiles using the --profiles commandline option, there's no need to edit profiles in simple-cdd.conf. > I don't understand what "set mirror_tools" means.

And then: > > ./build-simple-cdd --profiles test --local-packages > $(pwd)/../simple-cdd-profiles_0.3.0-1_all.udeb is simple-cdd-profiles included in your mirror: grep simple-cdd-profiles mirror/dists/etch/main/binary-i386/Packages > After running for a very long time, the system returned with errors (I > didn't have a printer hooked to dev machine, meant to copy them down, but > accidently closed the console window.) well, based on what you reported in the previous email (hangs at "processing back-end etch."), it sounds like debpartial-mirror was being used, rather than the current default tools, wget and reprepro. so next, i would be update your etch-simple-cdd branch (bzr pull), and then run: ./build-simple-cdd --profiles test --local-packages $(pwd)/../simple-cdd-profiles_0.3.0~1_all.udeb --mirror-tools "reprepro wget" i don't know why it would be using debpartial-mirror instead if you haven't included a mirror_tools= line in simple-cdd.conf or used the --mirror-tools commandline option, but explicitly asking for reprepro and wget should at least work around the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
