Hi,
After 6 years or so of setting ftp.jp.debian.org as default for
pbuilder, I'm finally determined that it shouldn't stay like this. So
I'd like to have some default guessing to happen. Preferably I don't
want to ask via debconf, since users should have already answered the
question at installation-time.
Looking for prior art I found the following:
piuparts:
Looks at first 'deb' line from /etc/apt/sources.list
-> Can't handle /etc/apt/sources.list.d
-> Assumes that the top entry is the best
emdebian-tools:
Using 'apt-cache policy' to obtain information
-> told on IRC that it loses port number info.
-> probably picks up security mirrors too, which
can't really be used for running debootstrap.
debootstrap:
uses ftp.debian.org as default mirror.
Probably difficult parts:
handling CD-ROM installation
mixed stable-backports / security / s-p-u / ubuntu / whatever
installation.
I'm inclined to add a default configuration which uses the first
usable line starting with 'deb http://' from /etc/apt/sources.list,
and maybe check with a debconf question.
Any good ideas?
regards,
junichi
