xnoxhow does partman-iscsi ends up part of the installation?14:40
xnoxone manually anna-installs it?14:40
* xnox ponders how to hook up s390-zfcp and thought that it should be similar to e.g. iscsi14:41
cyphermoxnope14:59
cyphermoxgets pulled in if you preseed iscsi things14:59
cyphermoxor maybe always there in some specific cases, I need to check15:00
xnoxi guess one must do anna-install=partman-iscsi or some such?15:12
xnoxbut i'm struggling to find docs about it.15:12
cyphermoxno need to anna-install it at all15:20
cyphermoxbut I suppose I'm missing a part of the magic anyway, I don't see how it gets pulled in either15:23
cyphermoxcjwatson: could you please enlighten us? ^15:46
cyphermoxI'm wondering if it's not just via Priority15:46
cjwatsonYes, any udeb that's Priority: standard is automatically marked for installation by anna.16:30
cjwatson(or above)16:30
cjwatsonFor the full rules it's easiest to just read through the body of the larger for loop in anna/anna.c:choose_modules - the log messages make the logic reasonably clear.16:32
xnoxcjwatson, aha. so maybe i should stop pointlessly including some of the s390-* things, and bump priority instead.16:50
xnox(i take that priority:standard udebs get included on the .iso automagically too...)16:50
cjwatsonxnox: IIRC16:52
xnox;-)16:53
xnoxcjwatson, btw, would you like to nominate yourself to Ubuntu Developer Membership Board =)16:53
cjwatsonxnox: No.16:53
cjwatsonNot even a little bit.16:53
xnox=))))))) ok16:53
xnoxcjwatson, even if i bribe you with 100 portal keys?16:54
xnox=)16:54
cjwatsonI've been there and done that, don't want to do it again.16:55
cjwatsonI wouldn't be able to give it the time it needs for a proper job anyway.16:55
LaneyIt is a highly rewarding experience16:59
* xnox ponders why we include block-modules-${kernel:Version} into d-i initrds.17:04
xnoxon s390x, which cannot install without network.17:04
xnoxor rather, can only install over the network.17:04
cyphermoxxnox: what did you mean by 'including', adding to pkglists in d-i?17:12
xnoxyeah.17:13
cyphermoxah, yeah17:13
xnoxit makes sense on e.g. hd-media, but makes no sense for netboot only s390x.17:13
cyphermoxwell, it depends if you want to make it already available in the initrd or not ;)17:13
cyphermoxright17:13
cyphermoxif it can only netboot, all you really need is enough to get on the network and download the rest17:13
cyphermoxmakes me think that I still have an enhancement I want to do to anna for the PPA overlay magic17:15
xnoxlike install all from overlay?17:58
cyphermoxwell, not really, but use any package newer than the archive from the overlay19:44
cyphermoxI'll deal with this tomorrow19:45
