[Holger Levsen] > some documentation for tasks.ctl would probably help here ;)
It isn't really tasks.ctl that control this, it is debian-cd and our use of it. tasks.ctl only control the order 'make packages.txt' output tasks. We use the list of packages to fill the ISO, until the ISO reach the size limit we set on our CONF* files. When that I said, I assume tasks.ctl is documented in the blends documentation. :) >> > I'm just wondering which size the ISO would have... >> The size is that of a Blueray ISO.

A bigger problem is the lack of spare disk space on our build host. We do not have temp space for building many images. > Another question: are changes to tasks.ctl in debian-edu.git > immediatly used for building the images or does it need a > src:debian-edu upload? It take effect immediately, see build/CD-administrator/wanted-list. So it is fairly quick to experiement. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
