| hggdh | folks, the Oneiric server ISO has changed -- there is a Packages.gz that is a link to another Packages.gz: dists/oneiric/restricted/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages.gz link to dists/oneiric/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | 19:52 |
| hggdh | is this correct? It breaks bsdtar when expanding the ISO | 19:53 |
| slangasek | hggdh: provided that the packages file contains both the .debs and the .udebs, I'd say it's correct | 19:53 |
| hggdh | slangasek: seems empty, 20 bytes in lenght. But bsdtar fails on it (trying to write to a read-only, already-extracted, file) | 19:54 |
| slangasek | hggdh: so, the empty Packages.gz for restricted doesn't seem out of the question to me. I don't know what would have changed to make these files links to each other, but I guess that's a bsdtar bug | 20:42 |
| hggdh | not really a bug, but a known restriction -- bsdtar expands an ISO as read-only. And this link is new, until A1 we did not do it (and had no breaks :-) | 20:44 |
| slangasek | no, it's a bug that bsdtar doesn't correctly handle the hardlink | 20:45 |

| cjwatson | hggdh: we hardlink identical files on the CD together because it saves something like 5MB of space on the server CD | 22:43 |
| cjwatson | hggdh: not that small file in particular, of course, but there are two copies of the kernel in different places and it makes a big difference there | 22:43 |
| cjwatson | hggdh: I'm surprised that there's no way to get bsdtar to handle that, and if there isn't then it seems like a bsdtar bug to me | 22:44 |
| cjwatson | hggdh: I made this change when switching to hybrid images (see ubuntu-devel a week or two back) | 22:45 |
| hggdh | cjwatson: I can agree it is a bsdtar bug, but we do not have many options to extract an ISO | 23:17 |
| hggdh | I cannot mount the ISO because I do not have admin access on tamarind (otherwise it would be mount && cp -r) | 23:18 |
| sbeattie | hggdh: what version of bsdtar/os release? I don't recreate the error locally. | 23:41 |
