Here is a sample replacement paragraph for section 6.1 of the manual:
----------
files/
Files used by customization scripts. Most files are located in a
subtree structure which reflects the ordinary directory tree. For
example, the templates for nsswitch.conf are located in the directory
/fai/files/etc/nsswitch.conf, and are named according to the classes
that they should match: /fai/files/etc/nsswitch.conf/NIS
is the version of /etc/nsswitch.conf to use for the NIS class. Note
that the contents of the files directory are not automatically copied
to the target machine, rather they must be explicitely copied by
customization scripts using the fcopy command.
The simple example configuration also includes the directory
files/pacakges/ which can contain local Debian packages. This
directory is referenced by default in /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf
as FAI_LOCAL_REPOSITORY and will be added to the nfsroot's apt
sources by make-fai-nfsroot. Note that these packages will not be
automatically installed, but will be available for installation in
your customization scripts using apt-get. For example,
examples/simple/scripts/DEFAULT/S01 calls "apt-get install
$addpackages", installing any packages specified in the $addpackages
variable.
----------
Alternatively a new section could be created that was dedicated to
fai/files, as is already the case for many of the other directories.
Also, it seems to me that examples/simple/scripts/DEFAULT/S01's check:
if [ -d /fai/files/packages ] && [ ! -f /fai/files/packages/Packages.gz ]; then
# Mm. It seems not to be a simple repository. I assume it's configured
in sources.list
echo "WARNING! Index file Packages.gz is missing in
/fai/files/packages."
fi
should be preceeded by a comment to the effect of:
# assuming that make-fai-nfsroot.conf sets
# FAI_LOCAL_REPOSITORY="deb file:/fai/files packages/"
Thanks again for fai, and all that it does. It is indeed an impressive
piece of machinery.
