Hello,
I just encountered another problem, but this time I found a solution
myself. I would like to share it here:
Since I have lot's of problems compiling T2 with my Mandriva host system
I installed a fresh debian (etch, stable) on the other box.
Downloaded 7.0 unpacked, configed (installed some packeges to debian
that where desired) and tried to "Download -required".
The mirror detection went fine but nothing was downloaded.
I then checked with the trunk to the same result.
So I decided to dive into the scripts (with not so profound knowledge on
linux scripts as I would like to have - I hope to learn some on this by T2).
After I while of digging I found out that config/default/packages was
not written (still size 0).
In scripts/Create-PkgList I found that gawk is required.
I believe it would be good to have a sanity check on gawk (for other
dummies like me).
Another idea, borrowed from "linux from scratch": A list and a script
testing all required tools on the host system on availability and
version, like in:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/prologue/hostreqs.html
What Do you think on this? This might probably help to prevent some
troubles and all sanity checks could be centered in one point.
Regards
Matthias
BTW.: ATM the other box is downloading packages. I'm looking forward in
seeing whether I can compile T2 there...
