Package: lessdisks Severity: serious Justification: makes package unsuitable for release Version: 0.5.3cvs.20040906-11 Tags: patch
I think it would be a shame if sarge release w/o lessdisks in it. For
one thing, debian-edu needs lessdisks and it would be easier over there
if it were in sarge proper. For another, when I'm not using debian-edu
or full lessdisks, I still find initrd-netboot-tools very useful for
ad-hoc setting up of various arches netboot machines.
Some broken dependencies are keeping the packages out of sarge though:
kernel-image-netbootable/i386 unsatisfiable Depends:
kernel-image-2.4-generic | kernel-image-2.6-generic | kernel-image-netboot |
not+alpha
not+alpha (and not+i386) were provided by type-handling, but that was
deprecated and dropped. There are other ways to accomplish it, and the
attached patch does it by making kernel-image-netbootable arch all and
having separate dependency lines for each supported architecture.
For unsupported/untested architectures, I choose to make it depend on nothing,
although this could be handled better. But I happen to have a lot of
information about using lessdisks on other arches than i386 and alpha, so
see a future bug report with info about nfs rooted systems on hppa, mipsel,
sparc, and ia64!
Anyway, I hope the attached patch can be quickly applied and lessdisks can get
into sarge. I took the liberty of setting the urgency to medium in the
changelog; I think that would be an appropriate urgency if lessdisks were
uploaded with only my patch and no other changes, since the current version
has been excessively well tested by its 65 day long wait in unstable.
