[12:45] <TREllis> Hi, 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) ?
[12:46] <cjwatson> they're exposed in indices/ in the archive, and look for "extra overrides" in your repository building tool
[12:46] <cjwatson> at least, that's what apt-ftparchive calls them
[12:51] <TREllis> cjwatson: thanks
[15:04] <stgraber> releasing a new ubiquity so that we get Martin's gobject fix, was quite annoying yesterday at the global jam
[15:12] <cjwatson> sounds wise
[15:20] <TREllis> cjwatson: could you point me to an example indices file that has the tasks? I don't see them in lucid's override files
[15:21] <TREllis> override file*
[15:23] <cjwatson> TREllis: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/indices/override.lucid.extra.main
[15:23] <cjwatson> extra overrides, as I say :)
[15:23] <TREllis> the long story is that I'm doing some net installs that use a partial archive mirror and want tasks to work
[15:23] <TREllis> ahhhh .extra. bah :) thanks
[17:35] <stgraber> doh, seems like pitti's gobject change broke the test suite ;) fixing it now and re-uploading
[18:02] <TREllis> cjwatson: 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 it
[18:36] <cjwatson> cool - never used reprepro so wouldn't have been able to advise there
