I cannot accept your patch as-is. Because it's brute-force, a directory
is not neccessarily a non-volatile file. Can you give me any hints how
to distinguish between volatile and non-volatile directories? Maybe the
same as it's done for for other d-i files, by regex, so
"|/dists/.*/installer-[^/]+/[0-9][^/]+/images/.*" // d-i stuff
with revision
means frozen contents and
"|/dists/.*/installer-[^/]+/[^0-9][^/]+/images/.*" // d-i stuff
but not containing a date (year number) in the revision directory (like
"current", "beta", ...)
is volatile? (those regexps are already defined, I just need to change
your patch to make them applicable to directories)
Also, what's your deadline? I was planing to release a new version of
ACNG in a couple of days anyway. Do you also need it in backports?
Best regards,
Eduard.
