The essence of my argument was that the dependency tree has become
irrelevant. Since britney does not look into Recommends and the
dependency tree has become a recommendation tree, there aren't actually
that many dependencies left. It's a fairly simple tree now (when
disregarding recommends).

By the way, why are you trying to do this virtual testing?
I am also trying to do something like this, but with LXD:

Maybe we can collaborate somehow.

Thanks for sharing this wiki page, I didn't know about it.

The installation works, but I can't connect from 10.0.2.2 with the outside.

The problems with that wiki page start here: "then run virt-manager to get
the friendly GUI to create KVM guest machines"
With the "friendly GUI" it is difficult to describe the steps in a
reproducible way. The instructions about qemu etc. (below) are much more
friendly than the "friendly GUI", in my opinion.

Any suggestions to fixing the problem?

It is hard to tell, without reproducible instructions, or without having
access to the test environment.
But I suspect that you have to enable masquerading on the host. There are
some instructions about this at the end of the wiki page.

I do not know, as I have not looked into this in years, but I doubt it.
The dependency three across all architectures are just too complex for
me to believe it.

Kvm isolated network

2022-08-27 Thread Claudio Carboncini
I tried to virtualize the Debian-edu network with virt-manager + Kvm
following https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/TestCDinstall with
debian-edu-11.3.0-amd64-BD-1.iso.
The installation works, but I can't connect from 10.0.2.2 with the outside.
The network is isolated.
Any suggestions to fixing the problem?
Thanks

Thanks for the explanation. It seems that presently, all tasks built
from blends are identical. Could it be that this is no longer relevant
given that debian-edu has essentially moved all its dependencies to
Recommends?
