Hi Dann, The problem is that initrd-template is a arch independent package but does include ELF binaries. The package must be (i think) arch independent (it may be used on other architectures to boot up x86_64 clients) so we need a way to include in a proper manner the different binaries. As i said in my previous email, a solution seems to zip the different binaries (something i saw for other Debian packages providing binary blogs - such as firmware). Other suggestions are of course welcome (i am far from being the Debian guru). :-) Regards, -- Geoffroy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
