For some reason germinate is telling me to download the wrong kernel version. I have to figure this out before the installer will work. We are very close.	josh	15 years ago

Seems like one of the machines in the cluster doesn't have a complete mirror or something. Fixed a bug in download-overrides where it wasn't getting all the overrides. Fixed the fact that download-packages wasn't downloading everything into main... there was stuff in restricted, etc. that wasn't getting indexed. Added a line to urls_to_download to remove dupes from the list. You get dupes because we are running apt-get multiple times, not that it is a big deal, but it should save some seconds or minutes.	josh	15 years ago

10	Modified README to reflect changed name of the script. Modi... Modified README to reflect changed name of the script. Modified download-overrides to put all overrides into the main component's override files. This is experimental.	josh	15 years ago
9	Added script to download the overrides. It still needs work... Added script to download the overrides. It still needs work to covert overrides to be in our monolithic repo. Don't even know if I can make this work... but we'll see.	josh	15 years ago

Added some more verbose output when running apt on all the tasks so if it fails you can at least tell which of the tasks it was running against. Still have a problem that part of apt's error message (the part that tells you what packages are broken) is going to stdout instead of stderr, so you don't see it when the script exits. Also added readme stuff to document some bugs	josh	15 years ago

6	Put a TODO in to remind me to fix the bug in urls_to_downloa... Put a TODO in to remind me to fix the bug in urls_to_download. Currently if apt has a conflict or unsatisfied dependency for a particular seed, the message will be completely ignored. We should check for that kind of thing.	josh	15 years ago
5	Update README to include our 2 new scripts Update README to include our 2 new scripts	josh	15 years ago
4	Local additions and modifications that make our repository v... Local additions and modifications that make our repository valid for apt. There are still some hacks and hardcoded things, but I'd like to get this working so that cdimage can use it to create a xubuntu cd. Once that happens I'll refactor to work with other architectures and distros.	josh	15 years ago
3	Merging in a few local checkins that add documentation, para... Merging in a few local checkins that add documentation, parameterize a few things, and use apt to figure out what to download.	josh	15 years ago
2	Got to the point where we have a list of packages that we ne... Got to the point where we have a list of packages that we need to get. Now need to figure out how to get apt to do this for us. I have some crazy judo cjw gave me that should make this work. Will probably have to create a chrooted apt environment for this though.	josh	15 years ago
1	Adding code that calls out to cdimage so it will run germina... Adding code that calls out to cdimage so it will run germinate for me. I'm trying to set this up so that it will be easy to work from within cdimage, but can also be run by itself (though it will depend on having cdimage somewhere on your system). That is where the configuration script comes in. It is setting up env variables that cdimage will have already set, but standalone you will have to set for yourself.	josh	15 years ago
