Package: live-build Version: 4.0.4-1 Severity: wishlist User: de...@kali.org Usertags: origin-kali
When live-build is used to build a distribution not listed in /usr/share/live/build/functions/releases.sh then it will fail with a cryptic error message like this one: E: Invalid operation APT::FTPArchive::Release::Codename=moto This is arguably a bug in apt-ftparchive and it's already reported there: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693092 But live-build could do better than maintaining a list of released versions of all known distributions. It could for instance rely on the Version field of the "Release" file of the distribution it is built against. $ curl -s http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/Release|grep Version Version: 8.1 This would totally alleviate the need of this releases.sh file.
