I have tried it out. It didn't work. The way I see it, the problem was that once debootstrap created a sid base system, make-fai-nfsroot tried to make-fai-nfsroot:upgrade_nfsroot() and make-fai-nfsroot:upgrade_nfsroot() by using apt. Note that fai is directly using apt now, not debootstrap. That failed. I don't know if the failure was due to a default apt-preference file, my custom apt-preference file, or somehow having sid hardcoded into the base that debootstrap creaed. A workaround was to force apt to use unstable, which is also in my patch. I hope that you are fully understand what I was trying to accomplish. It could be an ugly implemantation. There is also a probability that due to a long trial and failure process I succeeded because of something that is not related to the patch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
