Package: net-retriever Version: 1.32 Severity: wishlist I have been working for a Debian derivative. The derivative has its own archive key in foo-archive-keyring and foo-archive-keyring-udeb. We found that having a separate package was cleaner rather than putting non-Debian keys in a forked debian-archive-keyring.
The derivative also forks "debian-installer" to put his own artwork. The installer images are thus rebuilt but they always embed the debian keyring and not the derivative keyring. One doesn't find any meaningful mention of debian-archive-keyring in the debian-installer package and the keyring is only integrated due to net-retriever dependency on debian-archive-keyring-udeb. Thus we had to fork net-retriever just to replace the "debian-archive-keyring-udeb" dependency with "foo-archive-keyring-udeb". Maybe the dependency could be replaced with a virtual package (archive-keyring-udeb) so that debian-installer's dependency resolution on net-retriever could accept "foo-archive-keyring-udeb" that would be injected sooner and that would provide foo-archive-keyring-udeb? I don't know whether d-i would cope with a virtual dependency or if it would need a real alternative first (i.e. "debian-archive-keyring-udeb | archive-keyring-udeb"). Or maybe there are cleaner solutions but it would be nice to avoid the need to fork net-retriever just for this. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.6-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
