Since ZoL (ZFS On Linux) isn't yet in Debian GNU/Linux, I've been doing my own packages for ZoL in that package repo.
This include changes to the installer (debian-installer, base-installer, grub-installer, partman-target and partman-zfs). But because the Debian GNU/Linux git repo refuses force pushes, they latest versions is now in the ZoL GIT repo (https://github.com/zfsonlinux/debian-installers). But I think I've painted myself into a corner regarding the upgrade path. I have four repos: wheezy => The released ZoL version for Wheezy wheezy-daily => The GIT master releases of ZoL for Wheezy jessie => The released ZoL version for Jessie jessie-daily => The GIT master releases of ZoL for Jessie So basically, the packages in 'wheezy' and 'jessie' are identical, except they're compiled on the different versions of Debian GNU/Linux. Same for 'wheezy-daily' vs. 'jessie-daily'. Identical, in the meaning that it uses the exact same codebase/version and patch set of ZoL, just compiled for different libraries on two different platform version. But certain upgrade paths isn't working (which isn't much of a surprise actually - didn't quite think this through I guess): UPGRADE PATH STATUS VERSION COMPARE wheezy => wheezy-daily = YES 0.6.3-1.3-1~wheezy lt 0.6.3-38-7d90f5-wheezy wheezy => jessie = NO 0.6.3-1.3-1~wheezy lt 0.6.3-1.3-1~jessie wheezy => jessie-daily = YES 0.6.3-1.3-1~wheezy lt 0.6.3-35-7d90f5-jessie wheezy-daily => jessie = NO 0.6.3-38-7d90f5-wheezy lt 0.6.3-1.3-1~jessie wheezy-daily => jessie-daily = NO 0.6.3-38-7d90f5-wheezy lt 0.6.3-35-7d90f5-jessie jessie => jessie-daily = YES 0.6.3-1.3-1~jessie lt 0.6.3-35-7d90f5-jessie The versions here is the actually versions currently in the repository, and the result (YES/NO) is the status of "dpkg --compare-versions". My question now is: How do I setup/change the versioning so that all of these upgrade paths work? Doing this in intermediate steps isn't a problem, but I prefer not to use epochs if possible (even if that would be the simplest solution :)... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
