Hi Michael,
I've been trying the workaround - adding packages to package_config files,
based on what apt-proxy tells me that make-fai-nfsroot asks for - but I still
haven't found the magic combination of packages needed. The error at this
point is:
cp: target `/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/etc/fai' is not a directory
/usr/sbin/make-fai-nfsroot: line 228:
/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/etc/fai/fai.conf: No such file or directory
All four fai packages (quickstart, client, doc, server) are in the mirror
created by fai-mirror, so this error (I think?) must be the result of something
other than a missing package in the mirror.
I guess this bug could be closed once the documentation is updated. Wishlist
items for docs:
- Explain that fai-mirror ~can~ create a local mirror for make-fai-nfsroot,
even though that's not its intended purpose.
- However, fai-mirror will only work for this task if commands are done in
this order:
a) Run make-fai-nfsroot with a full mirror.
b) Run fai-mirror.
c) Change the make-fai-nfsroot config to point to the local fai-mirror created
mirror.
Thanks for your patience on this.
Andrew
