  It was so that both options 'behave the same'. Specifically, both
  settings about pulling in dependencies have the same default which
  is then overriden by the config file (in the same way). Looking at
  the diff again, it looks like i changed recommends instead of
  suggests - oops.
  It was meant to be 
  +my $nosuggests = $ENV{'NOSUGGESTS'} || 0;
  -my $nosuggests = $ENV{'NOSUGGESTS'} || 1;
  
  hope that explains :)
 
 I believe the build should handle recommends and suggests differently,
 as apt will install recommends by defaults but not suggests.  Because
 of this, I believe it is important for debian-cd to include recommends
 on the CD and DVD by default, to make sure installs from the net and
 from CD/DVD behave more the same (ie will install the same packages).

+1 from me, I don't undertand/agree with the reasoning of the change and
would prefer that we kept the same good default.

Cheers,

  Hi there,
  
  the search for packages inside the jigdo files still does not work an

  ACK. We should move that content onto a proper Debian service.
  Richard, can you help with that?
 
 Hi - sorry that the search went offline, it happened when I moved servers 
 and I never fixed it. But this should have been on a Debian server in the 
 first place...
 
 The setup consists of a cron job to mirror .jigdo files (which could be 
 omitted if we set this up on cdimage) and a PHP file. Is PHP OK for Debian 
 machines? IIRC perl was preferred...

Hi Richard,

You could run it on free.hands.com (where you already have an account),
which for the moment has PHP on it.  I now have that on a VM and would
at some point want to shift the PHP stuff onto a separate VM, so if we
do that it would be wise to come up with a URL that would survive being
shifted onto a new machine at some point.  That could of course be done
by having nginx on free proxy through to the new machine.

If it's more practical to do it elsewhere, that's great, but thought I'd
mention this option as it seems likely to be the least effort.

Cheers, Phil.

P.S. Alternatively, it looks like you've not logged in since 2003, so if
you don't need the account any more, I could remove it.
