joejaxxcjwatson_: do you have a minute?11:34
cjwatson_joejaxx: from #debian-boot, I suspect you built the CD in such a way as to leave out the Task fields in the Packages file. Read over the Packages files very carefully and compare them with those on a standard Ubuntu CD.11:39
joejaxxok11:39
=== joejaxx looks
cjwatson_FWIW, I really don't want #debian-boot to get the impression that we're directing folks to them for support of Ubuntu11:39
joejaxxyeah that is why i did not want to mention ubuntu specifically11:40
cjwatsonI'm largely on good terms with the other developers there and would like to remain so11:40
joejaxxalright11:40
joejaxxsorry about that11:40
joejaxxcjwatson: is there a file which lists all the tasks for each package? (sort of like how the indices state priority and section)11:45
cjwatsonit's in the Packages file11:47
cjwatsonoh you mean the source for that?11:47
joejaxxyeah11:47
cjwatsoncdimage gets germinate to work it out on the fly from the seeds11:47
joejaxxis it just the seeds? i guess i could grep that11:47
joejaxxyeah11:47
cjwatsonyou don't want to just grep it - you need to use germinate11:47
cjwatsonthe ubuntu-minimal task is the dependency-expanded version of the minimal seed11:48
joejaxxok11:48
cjwatsonthe ubuntu-standard task is the dependency-expanded version of the standard seed, excluding those packages already in minimal11:48
cjwatsonand so on11:48
cjwatsondoing that by hand would involve reinventing germinate :)11:48
joejaxx:P :)11:48
cjwatsonthere's code in cdimage that does the glue - IIRC you're already using cdimage, so you should be able to debug it into existence by figuring out why it's not working11:49
cjwatsonit's supposed to spit stuff out into a scratch tasks/ directory somewhere or other11:49
cjwatsonrun-germinate and germinate-to-tasks are the programs to start with11:49
joejaxxok11:50
joejaxxthanks i will try that11:51
