Re: Official Woody CD's and the unofficial CD set
Hello, Will there be any direct relationship between the Official Woody 3.0 CD's to be released, and the current unofficial CD set? That is, for example, will the first official CD have the same packages as the first unofficial CD currently has; or will the packages be reshuffled and distributed differently across the new CD set? The CDs has been made with the same tools. The only difference should be the layout of the packages, caused by the size of each CD. BTW, when the official images will be released the unofficial stuff will go away (this is only for woody of course).

Making sparc CDs bootable?
Hi, The script tools/boot/woody/boot-sparc in the debian-cd package is currently broken. These two lines are clearly wrong: cp ../../dists/$CODENAME/main/disks-$ARCH/current/sun4cdm/vmlinuz \ $inst/boot/sparc32.gz cp ../../dists/$CODENAME/main/disks-$ARCH/current/sun4u/vmlinuz \ $inst/boot/sparc64.gz since the relative path points somewhere above the top of the temporary build area ($TDIR) and even if it did manage to point at a copy of the archive, there is no vmlinuz file in that bit of the sparc boot floppies. Anyone know how to fix this?

Documentation provided in the Woody CDs (should be fixed)
I have just taken a look at the latest image (I think it is, but it was downloaded from a European mirror) of woody CDs. More precisely: $ ls 00-INDEXconstitution.txt dedication-2.2.ja.txt FAQ debian-keyring.tar.gz dedication-2.2.pt_BR.txt TRANS.TBL debian-manifesto dedication-2.2.sigs.tar.gz bug-log-access.txt dedication-2.2.cn.txt dedication-2.2.txt bug-log-mailserver.txt dedication-2.2.de.txt install bug-mailserver-refcard.txt dedication-2.2.es.txt mailing-lists.txt bug-maint-info.txt dedication-2.2.fi.txt package-developer bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt dedication-2.2.fr.txt social-contract.txt bug-reporting.txt dedication-2.2.it.txt source-unpack.txt dedication-2.2 - should be removed? FAQ - it is only provided in english however there are -es -fr -ja and -ko debian-doc packages (the CVS seems not to have these but it does have pt_BR and ru) mailing-list.txt/social-contract.txt/constitution.txt (maybe all the .txt files) - they are already translated in the WWW server since the contents are the same as web pages there, translated content is not provided. install - only links provided for english documentation, however the install/doc directory contains other languages. Wouldn't it be better to have doc/install a link to install/doc ? Also please check Bug #58638. Even if the boot-floppies documentation is translated to many languages I seem to find only a few (it,cs,da,ca). IMHO this whole doc directory in the CDs (which is taken IIRC from the ftp.debian.org site) should be completely reorganised. Proposed layout: doc |- README (describes the layout and points to www.debian.org/doc/ for | uptodate documentation and to www.debian.org/releases/stable) |- README.XX (other languages describing the layout, similar content) |- FAQ | |- en | |- es | |- it | |- ... |- debian (current *.txt files, manifesto, constitution, information | specific to the debian project and distribution) | |- en | |- ... ( translations should be derived from WWW site) | |- package-developer | (same layout as above it is currently a mess of formats and languages) | |- installation - ../install/doc It is very important that the layout is language-independant and that there is one directory for each language. All README files should point to the relevant information and all README.XXX files should provide relevant information on translated content and provide a pointer to the original source (english) to those documents not translated. Yes, we are *almost* finished releasing but this issue has not been tackled in the previous release and a reorganization (even if done manually for this release and automated for the rest) should not take more than a few hours (give me access and I will do it myself if no one can). Can this issue be tackled? (I expect many to say no :( Regards (and sorry for the cross-post) Javi PS: Since I do not want to become everyone's pain-in-the-ass and I did not send this in before (too busy at work) I will not (for the moment) file any RC bug report :) msg03552/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I have never used binutils-multiarch before, just installed the package for the first time. A first quick test indicates that it works, I am currently rebuilding the woody CD images with objdump and objcopy from binutils multiarch to be really sure. I'll let you know when my box is ready... That would be cool. There's another thing that does worry me. All cd images should be buildable on i386 without root rights. That is: if you can avoid having to use the loopback mount, it would be great.

Re: New jigdo test on cdimage.d.o
On 27 Apr 2002, Philip Hands wrote: Hi, I've mostly finished off my publish_cds script, and the results are available here: http://cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/ The structure is: The *.jigdo, *.template and MD5SUMS for each architecture are here: jigdo-area/version/jigdo/arch/ And the final images should go into /debian-cd/version/arch/ ? and this is a hard-link farm built from the TDIR link farms for the architectures, and so should have every file required for the jigdo files: jigdo-area/version/snapshot/ The jigdo files should have the right URLs in for the template, and the snapshot. Well, at lest the snapshot seems to work. BTW does the fact that the template is pointing at cdimage in this file mean that the whole world are going to try to pick up the templates from there, rather than the mirror the grabbed the jigdo file from? Well, for the mirror situation, it (jigdo-mirror) seems to find them locally when you have mirrored it. Mirroring the snapshot is probably harder though. Anyway, have a play and tell me what breaks. The alpha and sparc images are still not right, but I thought getting this out for testing was a higher priority. Trying to build them now with (woody) jigdo-file and jigdo-mirror gives: Found 1322 of the 1356 files required by the template Copied input files to temporary file `image.tmp' - repeat command and supply more files to continue 2002-05-01 04:10:19: 34 parts still missing from image 2002-05-01 04:10:19: Too many files missing in local mirror On more than one image.

jigdo-easy2win and Unofficial CD images: .jigdo for woody missing?
I downloaded jigdo-easy2win tonight and tried to use it to get a copy of a woody boot CD image. It failed with the message as shown below. I confess to be using Win/2K. I selected the choice [8] for Unofficial CD's, then choice [3] for Woody : Pre-release testing images at cdimage.debian.org, then choice [1] for ix86 and [1] for the first CD image. I also tried to get a woody snapshot with choice [4], Woody : Snapshots at ftp.fsn.hu, but that was terrifyingly slow. I have jigdo-easy2win running happily on an official potato CD image, so I'm pretty sure it's not just my machine. Who is the correct person to contact to see about making: http://cdimage.debian.org/pre-release-jigdo/i386/woody-i386-1_NONUS.jigdo available?
