README for those who want to hack on debian-cd
----------------------------------------------

Organisation :
--------------

The main source is in the Debian git server. If you want to hack on
debian-cd and if you want to send me patches, please work on the
latest version available in git.

auth: git@salsa.debian.org:images-team/debian-cd.git
anon: https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian-cd.git
web:  https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian-cd

If you want to discuss anything related to the debian-cd development,
mail the debian-cd@lists.debian.org mailing list where all people
interested in the debian-cd development are subscribed.

Technical details :
-------------------

The Makefile which is the main directory will be used to launch
each step of the install process. Try to comment each target of
the makefile so that other can know why it's here. If you need
specific programs (perl or shell scripts), please put them
in the tools directory.

The tasks directory will contain files listing packages (the
order in which package are listed is important, each package
added will be added to the current CD until it's full).

The data dir will contains useful data (not directly task 
related) like the master file from boot-floppies and so on.

Each tool is self-documented, if you want to know what it
does read the sources (they are scripts).

Debugging debian-cd :
---------------------

If you want to read more about what debian-cd is doing you can set the
VERBOSE environment variable to 1, 2 or 3 depending on the level of
noise that you want.

Some scripts generates their own log files in the temp dir. You 
can take a look at them if you want to check for warnings 
and so on.
Log files :
- $TDIR/$CODENAME/sort_deps.log
- $TDIR/$CODENAME/make_disc_trees.log
