Package: wnpp Severity: important Hello,
I am not able to give this package the attention it deserves any more (nor am I as interested in NFS-root systems as I once was), and hence I am announcing the fact here. There are two major tasks: 1. It needs updating to support the debootstrap mechanism in woody. (possibly this may involve getting rid of diskless-newhost and replacing it with a call to debootstrap instead). This task needs to get done before the freeze, or diskless will essentially become unusable. 2. The documentation is confusing and needs updating. 3. other bugs need addressing. (also under consideration: do something to make it easier for users to create their own custom versions of diskless-image-*.deb, in case the defaults are not sufficient. Perhaps these deb packages could be included in diskless*.deb, but not sure if this is possible). I think all of these tasks should be relatively easy and probably shouldn't take too much time either (especially if you have a fast Internet connection), just that my other package, Heimdal, is taking up all my spare time right now. If nobody else wants to adopt this package, I will continue with it for now, but may not be done with any great speed. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
