didn't gave any result. This is useful when using partial mirrors built by
simple-cdd while trying to build a Debian CD using a newer d-i (in my case
etch CD with lenny d-i).
* Use dpkg --fsys-tarfile instead of ar for extracting files from deb
packages. The previous invocation could have failed for packages using
something other than gzip compression.
so that we can archive them (both binaries and sources). If we need
anything, we will list it in CD$N.pkgs_extracted so that external
scripts can pick it up and do whatever's needed.
* Minor changes to the interface of tools/which_deb to accommodate that:
now just lists the files *within* the mirror; it's up to callers to
prepend ${MIRROR} as needed.
+ Remove binary blobs from the package; pull those files from the
.debs in the archive as needed (isolinux.bin, vesamenu.c32)
+ sbm.bin *not* yet worked out, so drop it for now
+ Pull out the code to find the right deb and put it in a new helper
shell script (tools/which_deb), called from Makefile and boot-* as
needed.
- Structure of D-I images was simplified, so adapt to that
- Fix some broken references to etch in lenny boot-sparc script
- Hope after all this things will still work...
