Er, I didn't set you up with an account on open yet, did I? Oops. done --- please test it. Well, pretty much what I do is grab the latest debian-cd out of CVS, apply a couple of patches that are mostly about local archive setup, and are not useful for general use, and build the images (well, jigdos these days). The jigdos are not quite publishable at that point, so they are created in a holding area, then I run publish_cds on them to move them to the public area, create the MD5SUMS, and tweak the jigdos so that they know the right URLs to point at. The place I ran the Debian 3.0 CD creation run from is: ~phil/debian-cd/debian-cd which you should be able to read now. The images get created in /unmirrored/test-area, and then coppied with tools/publish_cds to /home/jigdo-area/3.0_r0 That should give you something to look at. I always run the CD creation run under script, and have VERBOSE_MAKE=1 in CONF.sh, so the typescript give a full account of what went on. When the run is finished, I examine the typescript for errors, warnings, and do things like look at all the colons (:) to see if any unexpected messages turned up a all, before running publish_cds. That's just to salve my paranoia about publishing broken CDs as "Official", but I wouldn't bother with any of that for weekly sarge runs --- it might be worth publishing the typescript next to the images though, so people get to see what went wrong for themselves. > Of course everything would be easier for me if somebody could point me to > Phil's stuff or of Phil himself would send me the necessary stuff for the > setup that he had done, but as I don't have any of this I'll try to set it > up from scratch. I'll see what I can do now (and mail you direct about it) --- I'm sorry to have been a "slacker" recently, but clients have been keeping me a little busy with support calls, and the time that's been left has mostly been frittered away with trying to get the .ORG stuff organised for the UK Linux Expo in a couple of weeks. The second of those, at least will be over soon, so perhaps I won't be quite as absent after that. Feel free to keep nudging me, I generally try to at least not be the spanner in the works, so a gentle reminder often get results. ;-) Cheers, Phil. -- Say no to software patents! http://petition.eurolinux.org/ |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] http://www.hands.com/ |-| HANDS.COM Ltd. http://www.uk.debian.org/ |(| 10 Onslow Gardens, South Woodford, London E18 1NE ENGLAND
