[09:50] <nebuchadnezzar> hello
[09:57] <nebuchadnezzar> as everything seems to work now, I'll doing some germinate today ;-)
[13:36] <nebuchadnezzar> I really should have missed something about seeds, I created a myfeature seed file, depending on boot and server, but my task/MASTER does not include this seed file. Am I restricted to predefined seed name?
[13:52] <cjwatson> I strongly recommend that you edit the server seed instead.
[13:52] <cjwatson> Otherwise you have to edit cdimage.germinate to use a different seed for your product
[13:53] <cjwatson> (Though you may need to do that anyway given that your project probably isn't called "ubuntu-server")
[13:53] <cjwatson> cdimage.germinate starts resolving at predefined seed names/.
[14:02] <nebuchadnezzar> ok, is it planned to make it configurable for derivatives?
[14:05] <nebuchadnezzar> for now I'll use server for my tests
[14:26] <cjwatson> Well, the configuration mechanism for flavours in the Ubuntu archive is (a) try to do things such as to avoid requiring modifications (b) modify the code where necessary
[14:27] <cjwatson> No current plans to make it configurable
[14:27] <cjwatson> I think a configuration mechanism would have to be pretty sweeping, covering all the places where project-specific behaviour is currently present; I doubt I would even want to attempt that until the Python rewrite is complete
[14:55] <nebuchadnezzar> ok, now I understand own the "top-level" seed is selected in GerminateOutput.list_seed
[14:56] <cjwatson> Right
[14:57] <cjwatson> I suspect that over time I might want to make this more table-driven, much the same way I did with etc/default-arches
[14:57] <cjwatson> Not currently scheduled or anything, though
[14:59] <nebuchadnezzar> for now I added an elif for our project, as you said at 14:43
[15:12] <nebuchadnezzar> now I enter the world of debian-cd "CD1 missing some packages needed by debootstrap", I have an error "cpp: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory" when generating rawlist
[15:13] <nebuchadnezzar> I suppressed the quoting in the makefile to get the command and it works fine on my command line, maybe an environment problem?
[15:14] <cjwatson> You probably just need cdimage r1044
[15:14] <nebuchadnezzar> ok
[15:14] <cjwatson> We ran into the same thing in production today
[15:14] <cjwatson> It caused bug 1134162
[15:15] <nebuchadnezzar> ok, thanks
[15:25] <nebuchadnezzar> it works, now I need to work around mkisofs/xorriso :-/
[15:26] <nebuchadnezzar> saw in CONF.sh
[15:34] <nebuchadnezzar> need to find the good options to xorriso
[16:10] <nebuchadnezzar> is it intended to merge local with main at cdimage time, at debian-cd time the apt-ftparchive seems to use it "1.filelist_local - fopen (2: no such file or directory)"
[16:42] <nebuchadnezzar> "Generating list files for images \n Segmentation fault"
[16:44] <nebuchadnezzar> I'll look at this tomorrow
[17:11] <cjwatson> It is intended
[17:11] <cjwatson> But the local-packages stuff is *really* poorly tested; we haven't used it on cdimage.u.c since 2005
[17:11] <cjwatson> Somebody sent me a patch for it in 2008
[17:12] <cjwatson> Beyond that, well
[17:12] <cjwatson> Send me patches if you figure it out :)
