Bug#511247: Debian mixed testing/unstable, apt.conf, Default-Release, live-helper sequence;
Package: live-helper Version: 1.0.2-2 We can't build a Debian testing/ unstable mixed system with just the /etc/apt/apt.conf file with this line: APT::Default-Release "testing"; Discussion from IRC #debian-live: [13:27] But we cannot use apt.conf (ie. Default-Release) as it requires the wrong type. And live-helper messes with it incorrectly if I read the scrollback correctly (which is a bug). [13:28] lamby: but lh_chroot_apt has no provision for arbitrary additional apt.conf.d material :P [13:28] if it did, we'd be ok [13:28] we could use Default-Release here [13:28] the line i posted to the list won't work only because we cannot automatically set this to LH_DISTRIBUTION [13:28] but if we could provide our own /etc/apt/conf.d/99default-release [13:29] er [13:29] /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99default-release [13:29] then we'd be fine [13:29] Why can't you do that via includes? [13:29] because the sequence is: [13:29] lh_chroot_apt [13:29] Hah, of course. :) [13:29] lh_chroot_local-packages [13:29] Please file this is a bug.

Unfortunately, neither tool seems to be configurable to do what the other does. Messy. apt can do that as well: APT::Get:AutomaticRemove "true"; in /etc/apt/apt.conf (for those interested: for other values, it may be worth to have a look at preseed-apt from http://git.debian.net/?p=debian-custom/preseed-apt.git which is a preseeding interface for apt.conf, i did this do configure stuff through a preseeding file e.g. in live systems). The most important part, though, is that apt does not track automatically installed packages on stable (etch) so it might have been ages but not long enough ages for Debian. i do totally agree that one should use aptitude on etch, because at the time etch was released, aptitude was better than etch. for lenny, i beg to differ - i think that apt-get is much better in lenny and newer than aptitude is. that is also reflected in live-helper: for building etch images, we default to use aptitude, for everything later, we default to use apt. Nice thing to try out when Lenny is released and I manage to get rid of any etch systems. ^5, i'm so looking forward to getting rid of etch as well Now I'm in doubt whether aptitude or apt-get is preferable for a mixed testing/unstable system..

Tried to get help on #ubuntu-live, but it was empty there. Maybe someone here can help me? Would be great! Hi again, I love to work with live-helper and already made some Debian live cd's with it. But now I need to make some Ubuntu live cd's too, and it should contain an d-i. I know that this is mainly an Debian list and that this isn't for Ubuntu support in principle.. But I already invested time and effort in learning to work with Live-helper and like to know what I can expect concerning d-i support for live-helper on Ubuntu. It should be possible to make this possible right? And isn't an aim to have d-i support for Ubuntu too? I read on IRC that there is some kind of hook which makes d-i possible for Ubuntu cd's. I really like to learn how it works. Maybe I can help test it and provide some documentation for it.
