TREllisHi, I'm doing an install using a custom repo (created via reprepro). It fails on tasksel and I see I don't have any task values in Packages.gz, is there any way to import them or another repo tool that supports them (anything that doesn't create a full mirror) ?12:45
cjwatsonthey're exposed in indices/ in the archive, and look for "extra overrides" in your repository building tool12:46
cjwatsonat least, that's what apt-ftparchive calls them12:46
TRElliscjwatson: thanks12:51
stgraberreleasing a new ubiquity so that we get Martin's gobject fix, was quite annoying yesterday at the global jam15:04
cjwatsonsounds wise15:12
TRElliscjwatson: could you point me to an example indices file that has the tasks? I don't see them in lucid's override files15:20
TREllisoverride file*15:21
cjwatsonTREllis: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/indices/override.lucid.extra.main15:23
cjwatsonextra overrides, as I say :)15:23
TREllisthe long story is that I'm doing some net installs that use a partial archive mirror and want tasks to work15:23
TREllisahhhh .extra. bah :) thanks15:23
stgraberdoh, seems like pitti's gobject change broke the test suite ;) fixing it now and re-uploading17:35
TRElliscjwatson: thanks so much, got it working now... just to note that reprepro doesn't process per-arch overrides in it's DebOverride field, just packagename only, so stripping the /i386 bits from it and adding the DebOverride option to the conf/distributions file sorts it18:02
cjwatsoncool - never used reprepro so wouldn't have been able to advise there18:36
