thnx Steve, Marcus ...

over the next weeks I probably will do the installation a couple of times again

and could provide some more feedback?

I would very much appreciate if a stable and workable version could make it into the official repository.

On the one side I like fai a lot and it's a little embarrasing to have a broken version out there - 

not so good for reputation.

On the other side I dislike the fragmentation of my sources.lists.

If it is totally nescessary because of some political or license issues, well than that is that

but in genreal I'm a fan of "simple and straight forward" ;-)

 

best regards

 

Bernhard

Betreff: Re: fai in trusty

I built some 4.1.1 packages for trusty back in April, but have run out of free time to continue testing them. I've been running them on my FAI server here for a bit, and have not run into the problems Bernhard is describing.

https://launchpad.net/~fai/+archive/testing/
 

If folks could try installing that and testing it out, that would be great (I didn't want to push these into the main PPA branch before others had looked at them, and I think Stephan is in the same lack o' free time boat that I'm in ;) ). I think the biggest change from upstream FAI 4.1.1 was that I had to prefer using live-boot stuff, since the dracut packages seemed to be broken in trusty.

I stopped using the Ubuntu provided version of FAI long ago. The
repository at fai-project.org is much more up to date and usually works
just fine with Ubuntu anyway. I'm using it with Trusty and can't say
that I've run into any of the problems you've had. Can't say for sure
about the fai-chboot issues though since I'm still using 3.4 on Solaris
for that.
