if we're citing irc here, let's cite the whole thing.. ---snip--- 13:32:58 < cody-somerville> dba, what is "<CIA-6> daniel debian-next * rfbe4bd2 live-helper/helpers/binary_manifest: Renaming manifest files to packages."? 13:33:38 < dba> cody-somerville: did you read http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2010/05/msg00128.html 13:33:52 < cody-somerville> ah, no 13:33:59 < cody-somerville> Ubuntu uses manifests 13:34:03 < cody-somerville> its set a precedent 13:34:17 < cody-somerville> why not use it on that basis? 13:35:18 < dba> well, you're aware that your patch removes packages.txt which debian-cd has done for twelve years? 13:35:49 < dba> i'm all in for using a (better) machine parsable format 13:36:09 < dba> however, on debian, we didn't use .manifest, but packages.txt, 13:36:27 < dba> so for debian, if we change it, i'd like to use filesystem.packages and not filesystem.manifest. 13:36:51 < dba> filesystem.manifest would be sensible if we'd have a 'ls -lR' of the filesystem.squashfs in there. 13:36:58 < cody-somerville> Ubiquity relies on .manifest files 13:37:26 < dba> then have different behaviour of lh for debian and ubuntu on that one. 13:37:32 < dba> +let's 13:37:50 < cody-somerville> I want it to have the same behavior to make it easier to compare Debian and Ubuntu builds 13:38:00 < cody-somerville> ie. no need to have logic to look for both .manifest files and not .packages files 13:40:00 < cody-somerville> I'm even fine with keeping the packages.txt with the same formatting as it used to have in the image in addition to the .manifest files if thats a reasonable compromise to you. 13:50:41 < dba> (and about the manifest things, let me sleep over it) ---snap--- -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: daniel.baum...@panthera-systems.net Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
