How to handle dependencies on unreleased packages?
I'm getting ready to commit my changes that make anna and main-menu share Packages-file parsing code. They do so by a function in libd-i. This means that if you want to build anna or main-menu after I've committed, you first have to build and install the new libd-i, which is still unreleased. Should I let anna and main-menu build-depend on libdebian-installer-dev (= 0.04) so you'll be forced to rebuild libd-i first? Is that enough, or should I add an explicit binary dependency on libdebian-installer (= 0.04) too?

What is there to translate? It's just a list of hostnames. I'd be more worried about e.g. the main-menu, but I think it will use translated package descriptions, right? Of course, if there's static English text substituted into a template at runtime, that is horribly broken and must be fixed.

I was unclear, sorry, here is the problematic template:
Template: mirror/country
Type: select
Choices: ${countries}
Default: United States
Description: Use a mirror from what country?
The goal is to find a mirror that is close to you on the network -- be
aware that near countries, or even your own, may not be the best choice.

But still, language is orthogonal to country. You don't want to
translate the country, not even the default value. If we always used the
ll_CC notation it would be possible, but it would be a lot of redundancy
involved.

Are you kidding? I surely do want to see translated country names.

It would even not be 100% accurate, but translators can decide whether
providing another default for their language does make sense.

The boot cd for version 3.0 does not find my scsi controller, and hence it won't install. Yeah, few months ago, some people came to the crazy idea of making idepci flavor default, which is the worst of all WRT number of drivers, especially SCSI drivers. Try booting with other CDs or specify another flavor on the boot prompt. RTF boot-screens.

The logic is that it allows us to provide a shared reduced version of libd-i, or to statically link only the objects we need. I will probably move some package file parsing into libd-i and I want to know how to do this. Still one file per function I add, or one file for all the package-related functions? Should I start a new .c file for this? If it looks like a separate .c files make sense, do that, it is up to you. -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Debian Testing Installation
Hello. I have been running Debian Potato and I am installing a new system and would like to install the Testing distribution over a network. I am used to downloading the boot floppies however the directories (disks-1.44) does not exist anymore in the dists/testing path. I have read some information about debian-installer but I am confused. Is this the new way of installing debian? If so where can I download it? What do I need? Someone help? Thank you for your time and patience. Ciao Roberto
