Hi Vagrant,
I've found the source of some of my problems. There is this mechanism
available for setting option values via a "config" file. Since there
were a lot of parameters and some of them did not have supporting
command line options, I used the config file. The problem is that
some of these get passed through to the "debian-cd" script via the
non-exported variable "commandline_opts". The problem with the
scheme is that the behavior is unexpected and the data stuffed into
the file "commandline" is actually arguments to the build-simple-cdd
program, not the arguments for another sub-program buried deep within
the bowels of the debian-cd project. If they happen to correspond,
well and good, but the transcription should be explicit. Anyway,
here's a little chunk of code to add in immediately after processing
options. This will take care of the issue. Note there is no need
of quoting the output of the $() construct. The introduced newlines
will drop out when the whole mess gets echoed into a file. Again,
please, reply directly to me as well as the list since I think some
email manager somewhere does not like gmail.com. Thanks. - Bruce
