cjwatsonevand: might be worth investigating why they get torn down in the first place, and whether we can do without that in PARTMAN_NO_COMMIT mode09:00
cjwatsonevand: partman-base/partman09:01
evandcjwatson: ok, will do10:59
evandthanks!10:59
cjwatsonthe abort function is the one to prod11:00
cjwatsonit also handles errors though, so ...11:00
cjwatsontricky11:00
evandok11:00
evandby the way, as soon as I get this figured out, I think it'll be ready to merge.  It's the last thing on my list.11:01
cjwatsonneat! I'm at the distro sprint at the moment, so can't really test until next week11:07
evandcjwatson: 'tis ok, after this I'm going to do as much work I can on m-a itself, so hopefully I'll have a new version of that as well to go with the ubiquity changes for when you get back.11:08
evandAs it is already needed for fixes in the debian-installer portion (ma-ask, mostly)11:09

saispocjwatson: i have an error when debconf switch to partman for partitioning03:45
saispoi use french for debconf, and when partman is called by the preseed, i have an error and switch directly to english03:45
saispoand i haven't got the time to catch the error03:45
cjwatsonboot with DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 on the kernel command line and you'll get a full debconf trace in /var/log/syslog03:47
saispook great, thks03:47
saispocjwatson: the error code is =! 0 ?03:53
cjwatsonwhat error code?03:55
cjwatsonI'm sorry, you're being very unclear03:56
saispook excuse me04:10
saispofor my bad english04:10
saispoi try to use a preseed file which partition automaticaly the hard drive04:10
saispobut before partman s launched, i see an error04:10
saispobut i can't manage to catch it :/04:11
saispocjwatson: no parser to verify preseed file ?04:29
cjwatsonnot aside from the installer itself04:41
cjwatsonthe debconf trace should be sufficient04:42
saispok04:47
saispomy eyes see an error on alib when partman is started04:47
cjwatsonI cannot help you without precise details05:08

joejaxxcjwatson: i am trying to build the ubuntu debian-installer from source on feisty but when i go to make an image lets say build_netboot i receive an error after it downloads the udebs05:41
joejaxxNeeded belocs-locales-bin not found (looked in apt.udeb/cache/archives/, debugudebs/)05:43
joejaxxapparently that is not being pulled05:43
=== rrittenhouse [n=tad@cpe-76-188-35-66.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-installer
cjwatsonit's not supposed to be - find out why06:32
cjwatsonyou need a reasonably consistent host system to build d-i; in particular a system with broken dependencies in the installed set is unlikely to work well06:33
cjwatsonif all else fails, build a chroot with debian-installer's build-dependencies06:33
=== nyu [n=rmh@unaffiliated/nyu] has left #ubuntu-installer []
joejaxxcjwatson: i was building it inside a chroot with all the correct build dependencies which is why i found that weird08:09
saispocjwatson: i'm back, if you want i can try to explain you what i want to do, and what it's my problem08:26
saispodebian-installer use devfs or udev ?08:55
