| nebuchadnezzar | Hello | 10:50 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | nebuchadnezzar: hi - thanks for your reports | 14:58 |
| cjwatson | nebuchadnezzar: what revision of ubuntu-cdimage are you on right now for bug 1133321, and exactly what command line are you running? | 14:59 |
| nebuchadnezzar | I'm using trunk cdimage | 15:01 |
| cjwatson | Right, I know, but what revision number? | 15:03 |
| nebuchadnezzar | and I run: ARCHES=amd64 DIST=lucid CDIMAGE_ROOT=$(pwd) bin/for-project $MY_PROJECT ${CDIMAGE_ROOT}/bin/cron.daily | 15:03 |
| nebuchadnezzar | sorry: 1038 | 15:03 |
| nebuchadnezzar | It looks like Config.set_default_arches() do not use environment variables | 15:04 |
| cjwatson | Any local modifications? | 15:04 |
| cjwatson | Ah, yes, my mistake then | 15:05 |
| nebuchadnezzar | only in for-project to accept my custom project name | 15:05 |
| nebuchadnezzar | and some logging in build.py | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | It's all been very awkward with the temporary bridging between shell and Python | 15:07 |
| nebuchadnezzar | sure, I'm following it near in live ;-) | 15:08 |
| * cjwatson attempts to write a test case | 15:08 | |
| cjwatson | My initial attempt at fixing this (by not exporting values from the config file to the environment at all, and relying on anything non-Python that needs them to source etc/config) horribly broke debian-cd | 15:11 |
| cjwatson | I think perhaps the answer is to explicitly export the Config to debian-cd in its environment | 15:12 |
| nebuchadnezzar | I must admit I'm not completely aware of how it works, I have a quite hard time understanding seeds and germinate, I set LOCAL_SEEDS, add a $PROJECT.$DIST/ seed directory, I added a $PROJECT.$DIST/$PROJECT seed file with my custom metapackages, list it in STRUCTURE which include ubuntu.$DIST, the germination is OK, I got my $GERMINATE_OUT/$PROJECT.packages but the $TASK_OUT/MASTER do not include $PROJECT/$DIST/$PROJECT | 15:13 |
| cjwatson | It's generally better to add your custom metapackages to an appropriate existing seed instead | 15:14 |
| cjwatson | Otherwise you have to modify cdimage.germinate.Germination.list_seeds to look at your additional seeds | 15:15 |
| nebuchadnezzar | I looked cleaner to me, avoiding conflicts with ubuntu ones | 15:15 |
| cjwatson | Or alternatively you can make some appropriate seed (e.g. "ship" or "desktop") inherit from your new seed | 15:15 |
| cjwatson | By adding your new seed to the right-hand side of that line in STRUCTURE | 15:16 |
| nebuchadnezzar | I though TASKPROJECT was use for the task MASTER | 15:16 |
| cjwatson | I'd probably be inclined to do the latter | 15:16 |
| cjwatson | No, different named seeds have specific purposes | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | There's no "ubuntu" seed, for instance ... | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | For instance, desktop and the seeds it inherits constitute the packages that should be installed for a default desktop install; ship constitutes extra packages shipped on the image which may be installed conditionally or may just be available for manual installation without having to go to the network; etc. | 15:18 |
| nebuchadnezzar | What do you think about a configration option to be used in cdimage.germinate.Germination.list_seeds | 15:18 |
| cjwatson | The various modes of list-seeds list the seeds that are used for various purposes | 15:18 |
| cjwatson | It doesn't sound necessary or desirable in your case; the seeds are intended to be modified | 15:19 |
| nebuchadnezzar | so, looking at cdimage.germinate.Germination.seed_dists, I create a $PROJECT.$DIST seeds directory, and create a seed file called "required" and list my metapackages in it, an empty seed file "$PROJECT" which depends on "boot required minimal standard" to build my alternate ISO with my packages? | 15:29 |
| nebuchadnezzar | I really thought of building a seed tree and the roots are the $PROJECT listing some metapackages and depending on other seeds, but it seems that seeds file names are quite static, or maybe the $PROJECT-server is what I need, I'll make some tests | 15:36 |
| nebuchadnezzar | trying to be clear of what I did: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5567938/ | 15:49 |
| cjwatson | You really shouldn't use required for this ... | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | That has a specific meaning, roughly the set of packages installed by debootstrap | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | I really actively recommend against this idea that you should name your seed after your project. | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | It will only confuse you. | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | Treat seeds as having functional names, not branding names | 15:56 |
| cjwatson | I suspect you ought to just replace the server seed contents with yours; I'd recommend taking a bzr branch of the Ubuntu seeds to make it easier to manage | 15:56 |
| nebuchadnezzar | no, I just add packages on-top | 15:57 |
| cjwatson | I get the impression that your image is more like the Ubuntu server image than the alternate image? | 15:57 |
| nebuchadnezzar | Well, the guy before me did some things, and we got alternate images, with a boot menu to install all our flavors (hack of $DIST/boot.$ARCH) | 15:59 |
| nebuchadnezzar | I try to make it more "clean" in the ubuntu way | 16:00 |
| cjwatson | nebuchadnezzar: Try r1039 and see if it fixes bug 1133321? | 17:35 |
| cjwatson | Sorry for the delay - had to pick up my bike from the repair shop, then had a meeting | 17:35 |
| nebuchadnezzar | not a problem, I'll try tomorrow | 18:09 |
| nebuchadnezzar | good evening | 18:10 |
