mario_limonciellevand, do you end up touching partman-auto ever, or always leave it to colin?15:46
cr3in the preseed, is there a way to enable serial console forwarding of the installation process?15:47
evandmario_limonciell: I touch it from time to time.  Merges, small/medium changes, etc.15:49
mario_limonciellevand, okay.  well I verified bug 204878 that colin left a diff for at the end of last weekend to be functional.  so providing it doesn't break anything for the standard (non preseeded) case, would you mind applying it?15:51

mario_limonciellevand, thanks :)16:38
evandyou're welcome16:39
mario_limonciellevand, any updates on that preseeding other locales/nointeractive and its side effect bugs you ran into?16:39
evandI have some fixes in my local tree that I'll push before we release a new ubiquity (which we should do soon anyway).  These were minor things like actually exiting when there wasn't a root filesystem defined (previously it would chug along and install to the livefs /).16:42
mario_limonciellohh fun stuff :)16:42
mario_limonciellbut the main problem that was happening from the seeding of other languages (like chinese simplified) should be resolved16:44
evandyes, that fix is already in the tree16:44

mario_limonciellevand, provided the 03/22/08 dvd image is functional for us, we're switching to DVD images from hear on out.  Once you roll up all the changes into ubiquity 1.8.1, could you try to remember to generate a dvd image with it?17:08
evandmario_limonciell: making a note of it, will do.17:10
