Hi all, I noticed on the wiki that the DebianParl blend is working on install preseeding. I think this is a particularly interesting approach that might be interesting for more blends to adopt.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianParl#Profiles https://parl.debian.net/desktop/email/ One thing I noticed is that the firmware-linux package is non-free and thus should probably not be installed by default without user consent. Looking at your preseed/late_command, I noticed that you did something I wanted to do, marking packages as auto-installed. I filed #730162 and #739938 about this issue. It appears there is a clear need for this feature since now a blend is doing it. I wonder where the fix belongs, perhaps in debootstrap? To work around lack of this feature in d-i we are using this hack right now for our installs at work. It is more generic but more hacky than the approach taken by DebianParl. d-i preseed/early_command string \ sed -i '/exit 0/i\ mkdir -p /var/lib/apt-install' /bin/apt-install ;\ sed -i '/exit 0/i\ echo $packages >> /var/lib/apt-install/log' /bin/apt-install d-i preseed/late_command string \ (echo 'APT { NeverAutoRemove { ' ; chroot /target sed 's/ /\xA/g' < /var/lib/apt-install/log | sort -u | sed '/popularity-contest/d;/installation-report/d;/^[[:space:]]*$/d;s/^\(.*\)$/ "^\1$";/' ; echo '}; };') > /target/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-installer;\ chroot /target apt-mark showmanual | chroot /target xargs apt-mark auto;\ -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
