I can't think of any reason why not. I've never built a udeb before so it will have to wait until I've got a few hours free to learn how to do it. Please read the section 2 (and specifically section 2.3) of the Debian Installer internals paper [1] written by Frans Pop for DebConf6. [1] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/talks/debconf6/paper/index.html#id2535182 Please understand that maintaining an udeb adds a more responsabilities for your maintainer's work and has a few drawbacks for your package life. The daily builds of the Debian Installer are done using the udebs that are currently in unstable. If your package produce a buggy udeb, all daily builds for every architectures which need it will be broken. So please double-check that your udeb has correct dependencies and thet the -dev package has a correct shlibs file. Also, the beta releases of the Debian Installer are using the udeb presents in testing. This means that the migration of your package to testing will then also depend on what is currently happening on the d-i front, as we try as much as possible to prevent the breakage of fully network based installations. Hope that helps. Cheers, -- Jérémy Bobbio.''`. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: :Ⓐ : # apt-get install anarchism `. `'` `- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#443114: Please provide an udeb
Package: pcre3 Version: 7.3-2 Severity: wishlist Hi there, The new glib versions started building against Debian's pcre3 for the new GRegex API; in the initial uploads, this was built against the internal pcre copy (I think this was because the pcre version was slightly too old back then), and we're only switching now. Glib provides an udeb because the Graphical Debian Installer is based on the Glib/Gtk stack; this means that it would be best to have an udeb for libpcre3. (The only other options would be to build against the builtin pcre copy of glib -- which would be bad security wise -- or to disable this API/ABI for the udeb which would be quite ugly.) Do you think you could provide an udeb for libpcre3?
