ext2resize is installed into the nfsroot, but currently not used by my
scripts. But it's may be usefull for others. Same applies to xfsprogs,
mdadm,.. These are tools which may be needed during an installation,
but are not used by my scripts currently. So it's not very easy to
declare all these packages as optional for fai. But maybe you're right
an the bug is less important for fai.
IMHO it's a grave bug, since the nfsroot will not be built without
removing the package from the list.
Currently I'm preparing the new fai release, which also fixes this
bug. LAst weekend we had a fai workshop with 11 fai developers and the
whole last week was filled with hard work on the next fai release. So
hopefully, I will manage to upload the next fai release today.
I'm sorry that you had spend some time on looking into the fai
sources.
