this looks fishy. Are you sure you want to return if the child has
failed to exec?
Can you explain what you mean by looks fishy? Suggestions and
improvements are more than welcome, and I still have a few things I want
to do yet myself. I'm a bit of a C novice, so I am more than likely to
have done a few things the less than perfect way, but I'm not sure what
you mean by the above comment. As is, if the exec fails, then we return
back, which could really do with an error template as well. I think I
still need to do a bit more work on the error handling side of things.

fork() clones the current process. The exec then tries to replace the
child process with a new one, in this case wpasupplicant. If
wpasupplicant can be executed and the exec call succeeds, it never
returns.
However if exec fails, you generally don't want to continue execution,
but exit with an error code.
If done like you did here, you'll have 2 netcfg processes in the
system. From the first look, it doesn't look that this is intended.

Bug#516347: debian-installer: guided-with-lvm no longer allows ? primary partition.
Similar behavior observed with recipes defining only one primary partition (/boot). The effect of the bug was dependent on the size of that partition. If changing the partition size (try 200 200 200) allows partitioning, then we're talking the same bug. Try a few more sizes as I suspect it also depends on the drive parameters (e.g. size and CHS). Examples for recipes can be found in: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-edu/trunk/src/debian-edu-install/lib/partman/recipes/?rev=57324 90 and 94 don't work, the others work o.k. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

d-i kernel sound drivers selection in kernel-wedge
Hello, As a follow-up to thread `software speech synthesis in d-i?', I'm wondering about the kernel sound drivers and kernel-wedge. I had started writing a sound-pcm-modules file that would include drivers for boards that support PCM, so as to avoid wasting space with MIDI boards. However, AIUI, a module can not be in several kernel-wedge packages, and so there couldn't be both a sound-pcm-modules and a sound-seq-modules since actually a lot of devices do support both PCM and MIDI :) so I'm even wondering whether to just call it sound-modules? The list of drivers is quite long, and I'm wondering whether it is really useful to rule out MIDI-only drivers, as there are very few boards not supporting PCM. Simply including everything from sound/ would be a lot easier to maintain, wouldn't it? I'm OK with taking the time to select drivers, I'm just wondering whether it's really worth spending time on it instead of other things (the waste is probably a few 100KBs, compared to the total 6MB of sound/).

Log from the D-I team meeting of March 30th 2009
The full log of the meeting is available from the D-I team meetings page on http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Meetings From that log and the March 16th meeting log, I'll try to cook up some formal minutes. I know I promised this for the March 16th meeting but failed to do it. These minutes will probably be crossposted on d-d-a as a Bits from the D-I team post. Many thanks to all people who participated to the meeting (and apologies for not being able to chair the meeting from the beginning, because of unplanned personal commitments). See you on April 11th for the next meeting. -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: [pkg-fso-maint] d-i installation on embedded devices
Hi there! NB, my first mail was already quite long and Per's reply rendered it bigger, thus just assume that I will agree on everything I did not comment on ;-) On Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:53:41 +0100, Per Andersson wrote: On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 12:00 PM, Luca Capello l...@pca.it wrote: 2009/3/25 Joachim Breitner nome...@debian.org: Maybe some other thread discusses this already, but why don't you use d-i for installation? Simplicity. We wanted to get started as fast as possible. But given the ever increasing complexity of install.sh, this should be the goal, yet. Could porting d-i to GTA02 (and GTA01 but I don't have one of those) be worth doing as a GSoC project? For anyone working on/for the pkg-fso, thanks to Arne Anka [1] I can borrow/offer a GTA01 (if needed the full development kit, i.e. with a debug board as well). Since I was in contact with people interested to sell their GTA01, I can also find more than one device, if needed. This is *only* for Debian-related work, in any field (e.g. X11, ALSA, GPS, etc.) and not only for d-i. Cool, a d-i knowledgable person (willing to mentor) could borrow a handset then. Yes, that would be great in any case :-) In any case, I think that the MTD project should still have an higher priority, because: - its use is wider (e.g. for NAS devices) - it involves more people (not only the pkg-fso crew), thus it is probably easier to have advices I agree with both points, just an idea I had (as a backup proposal) if mentoring becomes a problem with the MTD project. Martin Michlmayr already blogged about it: http://www.cyrius.com/journal/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/nslu2-killer Because of that, I had the impression that the last bit missing was a student, am I wrong, Martin? And I would really like to work on d-i for Openmoko phones as well of course. Good, we are not alone in the dark :-) I think we clearly need to have a plan, divided into two phases: 1) installation into the microSD a. booting d-i on the FR, which is an easy task given that we must use the pkg-fso kernel package [2]. b. starting the graphical installer with a virtual keyboard, since there is no physical keyboard, thus the textual installer cannot be used. And/or accept SSH connections to the installer. As is done for NAS devices. I think I was misunderstood: I think installation from SSH quite easy to achieve, since we already know quite well how to boot Debian on the FR. What I was talking about is a *real* installation on the FR with nothing more than the FR and a WiFi connection (which is faster than any USB one). c. installing everything on the microSD, which means that d-i should not use the microSD at all, thus it should probably be run from a ramdisk. It should be possible to write d-i kernel and ramdisk to MTD flash and boot from that, not touching the microSD. While this is a possibility, however it means that you need to touch the existing distribution installed the flash memory, thus if the Debian installation will fail at any point, the phone is no more usable. 2) installation into the MTD [...] b. disk space. The FR (GTA02) has 256MB of flash memory, while the 1973 (GTA01) only 64MB [5]. In both case, there is no way we can fit a normal Debian system on it, especially considering that we should target the FreeSmartphone.Org initiative [6], which ATM relies on Python. Are there any indications on how much flash memory the GTA03 will have? Sorry, but the only things I know are available on the Openmoko wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA03 Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca pgpB5o9dkQSU6.pgp Description: PGP signature
