[11:34] <joejaxx> cjwatson_: do you have a minute?
[11:39] <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] <joejaxx> ok
[11:39] <cjwatson_> FWIW, I really don't want #debian-boot to get the impression that we're directing folks to them for support of Ubuntu
[11:40] <joejaxx> yeah that is why i did not want to mention ubuntu specifically
[11:40] <cjwatson> I'm largely on good terms with the other developers there and would like to remain so
[11:40] <joejaxx> alright
[11:40] <joejaxx> sorry about that
[11:45] <joejaxx> cjwatson: is there a file which lists all the tasks for each package? (sort of like how the indices state priority and section)
[11:47] <cjwatson> it's in the Packages file
[11:47] <cjwatson> oh you mean the source for that?
[11:47] <joejaxx> yeah
[11:47] <cjwatson> cdimage gets germinate to work it out on the fly from the seeds
[11:47] <joejaxx> is it just the seeds? i guess i could grep that
[11:47] <joejaxx> yeah
[11:47] <cjwatson> you don't want to just grep it - you need to use germinate
[11:48] <cjwatson> the ubuntu-minimal task is the dependency-expanded version of the minimal seed
[11:48] <joejaxx> ok
[11:48] <cjwatson> the ubuntu-standard task is the dependency-expanded version of the standard seed, excluding those packages already in minimal
[11:48] <cjwatson> and so on
[11:48] <cjwatson> doing that by hand would involve reinventing germinate :)
[11:48] <joejaxx> :P :)
[11:49] <cjwatson> there'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 working
[11:49] <cjwatson> it's supposed to spit stuff out into a scratch tasks/ directory somewhere or other
[11:49] <cjwatson> run-germinate and germinate-to-tasks are the programs to start with
[11:50] <joejaxx> ok
[11:51] <joejaxx> thanks i will try that
[12:03] <_MMA_> joejaxx: You get an answer yet?
