Also, the default crypto install uses LVM which greatly increases the risk of other lines with line wraps anyway. Finally, if we add persistent device names along the line of /dev/disk/by-something/* that will also increase the risk.

I'm not sure if changing the name for just this reason is wise. df will wrap lines in a lot more cases than just this one, including in practice any LVM volume. And you can always use 'df -P' if you really need the output to be on the same line (for parsing by a script for example). As changing the name would for example break the rescue procedure I recently documented on [1] (the crypto device name used in the luksOpen command needs to match what is in /etc/crypttab to avoid e.g. update-initramfs to fail), I would not like to see the name changed lightly.

So, the only real issue is the size of the kernel and freeing up space by being able to do without an initrd on the boot floppy (although nice), would probably only buy us some time. So, my main question would be: what is possible? Can we avoid the need for the minimal boot floppy initrd? Could the kernel be split over 2 floppies? Will users still be able to choose installation methods and enter boot parameters? I'm very much in favor of following up on this. If it could mean supporting booting from USB floppies again, that would be great. Cheers, FJP pgpsNBbNvWXIi.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#412922: please generate win32-loader.ini manifest file
On Thursday 31 May 2007 20:19, Robert Millan wrote: Maybe this is a good time to review this? I'm attaching a new patch, with some minor changes including adapting to latest win32-loader.ini syntax. I guess my main reservation against this is that including a Windows .ini file and thus making the installer autoload within Windows if the CD is inserted, _increases_ our responsibility if the user should fail to read (or probably more importantly: understand) any of the warnings about erasing your harddisk and losing existing data. The fact that actually starting an install stills involve a reboot, is not a real safeguard as installing almost anything interesting on Windows requires a reboot anyway. The fact that currently the installer needs to be booted completely separately, at least makes absolutely clear to even the most clueless Windows user that Debian is not some Windows proggie that can just be tried (as running random Windows proggies is of course always safe, right?). I could probably be convinced to include this on CD images if the patch would not start your loader, but would open a modified README.html that has an extensive explanation of what Debian is and only contains a link to the loader itself. This would however increase the need for translation of the README.html (which is a worthwhile goal for debian-cd anyway). The same would go for USB keystick, but I am not sure if this should be included in other installation methods. Note that this is not an RM standpoint, but just my own opinion. Cheers, FJP P.S.

How to reboot from start scripts?
Hello! I noticed that shutdown from scripts in /etc/rcS.d don't really work. For example, when fsck for some filesystems fails at startup, you are thrown into a shell to fix the problem. From that shell, you have no chance to make a proper reboot. I have tried: - shutdown -r now - init 6 - reboot - halt It don't really make a difference how I try to reboot. I alwas get thrown out and the boot process continues. Finally I get the login prompt. But I did _not_ want to continue the boot. I said I want to _shutdown_. Why is this ignored?

Saying goodbye as D-I Release Manager, but not to D-I
Hello all, Yesterday I have retired from Debian. I have explained my reasons for that decision in detail on the debian-private mailing list and I will not repeat them in detail here. The main, but not the only, reason is that my involvement in the project was no longer fun because of the continued personal abuse I have been getting on various mailing lists from a certain person. Many of you may not have seen much of that recently, but if you check the archives for the debian-project list for the end of last month you will see what I mean. I would like to stress that my retirement has nothing to do with my work on the D-I project. As I do still enjoy working on D-I, I also do not plan to leave completely, but rather go back to working on it as an outside contributor. I've already created a -guest account on alioth and given myself commit access for that (I hope the other project admins don't mind ;-) However, without being a member of the project, it is impossible to continue as D-I Release Manager and my main regret is that my retirement does leave D-I without an RM so suddenly. So, the next question has to be: is there anybody interested in taking over that role? I think asking on the debian-boot list first is the right thing to do. I have of course already spoken with Joey, and he would very much prefer *not* to have to take over as RM again. I will of course assist any new RM as much as possible, especially to get started and I expect Joey will do the same where needed. As you all probably know, D-I is complex enough that it really needs an RM. As my technical skills are nothing special, the fact that I could do it means that it is certainly not an impossible job, although it certainly does require a fair commitment. For myself, I expect I will spend less time on general things, including installation reports, but more on specific issues (i.e, real hacking); I also hope to spend more time on the installation guide.

Exactly, this value was preseeded. I am creating a customized install-cd.
From it's boot-menu the location of the newly installed system is
choosen. Based on that choice some basic configuration options (e.g.
proxy) are preseeded. The problem is that the proxy setting is not
propagated to all the installed programs (like wget, firefox, subversion,
etc/pp). Thus I want to propagate this setting with the script that is
run from by late_command. But I can't find a clean way how to retrieve

Strange, I thought I had given you one with the example above :-)
You will just need to make sure that you grep on the regular owner (the
component/udeb the template comes from) _plus_ the name of the template,
thus:
# debconf-get-selections --installer | \
grep owner template | awk '{print $4}'
I would avoid using the owner d-i, as that is really a pseudo-owner only
used for preseeded questions.
Take a look at /var/lib/cdebconf/questions.dat sometime to see how the
raw database looks.

Note that 'debconf-get-selections --installer' does nothing more than parse a copy of those raw files as saved under /var/log/installer on the installed system...

Ough, I've overseen those lines because my mailreader (mutt) colored
them as comments because they begin with special characters.
Sorry!

Sorry, I've overseen them. But I'm still not sure whether this is really
a clean way. I am not really sure whether parsing this would be robust.
For example, in my output, there seem to be tabs, so
egrep '^choose-mirror-bin[\t ]+mirror/http/proxy' | awk '{print $4}'
would probably be a better idea. It seems to me that this way is
somewhat error-prone. After all, debconf-get-selections outputs lots
of unrelated stuff (like comments) and the format of the output is not
documented.
I would avoid using the owner d-i, as that is really a pseudo-owner only
used for preseeded questions.
Ah, good to know!
Thanks for your answers, Frans!

Re: m68k mklibs problem?

Is this a mklibs problem? Any ideas?
Do you already have the latest mklibs installed on your buildd?
Does the problem get solved if you revert to the previous version of
mklibs (0.1.20)?
Yes, the failed version was with 0.1.21.
Please make sure to test that if it does work with the old mklibs, that
the image actually works, as that currently is _not_ the case for alpha.
Downgrading to 0.1.20 causes the following ftbfs.

./tmp/cdrom/tree/bin/cdrom-checker

However, it used to work. I downloaded an initrd from 7 May (0.1.21 was
installed to the archive on May 9) and verified that it at least lets me
chroot without the undefined symbol error (it also boots farther with
aranym). I can do a full boot test if you think it will help.
If the new mklibs does not work for m68k, then please provide the output
of a build (for a single target) with two extra '-v' added in the mklibs
call in the Makefile (look for MKLIBS).

P.S. Could you also have a look at the space problem for the m68k floppy
images?
There seems to be a /usr/share/acorn directory, but I haven't figured
out where it came from yet. It didn't look like the acorn keymaps were
installed. I'm sure I can drop the mac keymaps. I'll have to check on the
amiga and atari ones.
Thanks,
Stephen

It appears that we're getting all kinds of keymaps, including acorn, on what should be an atari only floppy. Hopefully that will fix it. Peace, Stephen -- Stephen R.
