Re: Small report (re: isolinux test image, debian-cd changes available)
Hello, I tested first the 24bf image. I was surprised to see it uses a framebuffer... Now... This can be good, but I don't understand why it is using it - The display is MUCH slower than using the regular interface, and it is still curses-based. What did we gain from framebuffer? The I18N support, I think. You can choose languages with special characters too (UTF8). Second - I am installing it using the Spanish interface. When I get to choose the filesystem type I will be using, the text is almost too wide to be shown on screen... It fits, but it is noticeably too wide, because of the description of the Ext3 line: Wrong list. This report should be sent to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address. Please forward to them, or file the bug reports against the boot floppies.

Optimising Debian-CD
Hi, I've been watching debian-cd running on open struggle with the trivia of generating things like Packages files, and md5sums, and it occurs to me that much of this could do with some work. For example the generation of the md5sum files would be done a lot quicker by a perl script that picks the pre-calculated md5sums out of the ftp archive's md5sum.gz file. If we replaced the whole for loop with a perl script, it would only need to read the md5sums once, could load them into a hash, and simply write them out on the basis of the files found in the CD directory. Before I start this, does anyone have any reasons not to do this? IMO it's actually better to use the master md5sums, because it gives a simple end-to-end sanity check. If the CD building machine had a tendency to corrupt data comming off it's disks (as happened with a previous incarnation of open) or the mirroring run had failed in a subtle way, then a simple loop mount of each image, and running md5sum -c on each, should catch that straight away if the md5sums were not locally recalculated. A slightly more ambitious replacement would be to generate the Packages files by taking the records out of the main archive's Packages files. Another thing that might help, but would need a significant redesign, would be to do all this for all the CD directories from all architectures at the same time (i.e. reorder the loop nesting) so that the perl would only need to look at the md5sums and Packages files once before splurging out the individual CD files. Opinions? In the mean time, I'll knock up an md5sum file generator, and give it a try.

We have a fairly updated system, but 3 years is well below the time a system might be around without any updates other than security upgrades. The version is: VisualAge C++ Professional / C for AIX Compiler, Version 5 And that is a new compiler, not a very old one. I know of a few sites that run much older ones. Some configure output: checking whether the C++ compiler is recent enough... no * Your compiler failed to recognize some advanced C++ * constructs.

Also some interesting features turns up, like: checking size of unsigned long... 0 checking size of unsigned long long... 0 With g++ (and a bunch of hacking), it compiles but fails to link. I haven't had time to take a better look at it yet, or turn the software over to someone else around here. It is still painful, especially compared to jigdo-port which compiled cleanly and without problems.

It isn't for the images, it is for having all the other files and directories looking exactly like the master site, a true mirror. That is why I want the same directory structure, so that it will find the images with the correct size and not bother with them. If rsync believes it has to sync the images, it will put a great deal of load on both sides, even if the data is still the same. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
