[07:41] morning [07:43] question.. when installing a client at some point its doing 'updating base system' then it wants to connect to ftp.debian.org and ftp.security.debian.org but i have a local mirror on the install server [07:43] where can i specify it should use the local mirror as there is no internet on the client [07:45] allee-k_ (~allee-k@p54A445F2.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #fai.

[11:06] Hi! Is there a way to make fcopy pick files based on an 'and' combination of classes? E.g. to copy a file only if the classes I386 and XORG are specified? [11:10] <\sh> BlindBunny, checkout "ifclass && ifclass " [11:11] <\sh> used e.g. in the samples for LILO class (20-create-liloconf or so) [11:13] Hm, yeah, the problem I see with that solution is that it needs a case-by-case handling for every combination and file. I was hoping that I can do a recursive fcopy and express the and relationships through the file names which would make it really easy to use. [11:14] BlindBunny: it's not possible with just fcopy, sorry :( [11:15] If I provided a patch to fcopy to that effect, do you think there would be interest to add it to FAI - I mean functionality-wise and code-quality issues etc. aside? [11:15] i certainly think it would be a good idea, though we'd have to think about what the best semantics are [11:16] Mrfai: have you specified anywhere which characters are legal in class names? [11:16] Well, a space would be natural separator... [11:16] hm... file names with spaces are unwieldy though [11:17] <\sh> if you think about such a functionatlity, I would more prefer some "adding of classes" e.g. you have a scripts dirname like "CLASS1+CLASS2" which will be executed when CLASS1 and CLASS2 are set [11:17] Well, files named for FAI classes in directories named after the original file name are, well, not my favourite kind of chocolate either ;-) [11:18] BlindBunny: heh :) but that's a design decision which has already been taken, i don't think we should change it casually [11:18] \sh: yeah, it would be cool if this could be applied beyond fcopy [11:20] we could use the unicode set intersection character U+2229 :) [11:20] Anyway, thanks for the answers. I'll come back with a proposal, if I find the time (i.e. never? We'll see) [11:20] sorry, gotta go, cu [11:20] CLASS1)CLASS2 [11:20] BlindBunny (goetz@137.226.154.184) left #fai. [11:21] <\sh> mgoetze, hmm...a good design change could be: $FAI/files// and we can tell fcopy to a) copy everything for CLASSNAME from $FAI/files/ or b) explicitly tell fcopy to copy only one file from $FAI/files// [11:23] \sh: well i'm not sure. i think files/lib/modules/2.6.24-25-generic/updates/bnx2.ko/HARDY{32,64} is more practical than files/HARDY{32,64}/lib/modules/2.6.24-25-generic/updates/bnx2.ko [11:24] especially since this is something i only want to install on certain hardware types, regardless of which distro... [11:25] however, files/HARDY32)BNXMODULE/lib/... might be nice, then i could fcopy everything over with no worries that something unwanted will get installed [11:26] <\sh> mgoetze, hmmm.. [11:27] thx mgoetze i found it already :) [11:28] can i create different installations where users can choose from at pxeboot? [11:28] incognitu: yes [11:28] is that documentated somewhere? [11:29] incognitu: well, uh... kinda... :) [11:29] in the official pdf? [11:29] if you read the documentation for pxelinux, fai guide, something telling you how a kernel command line works, and put all that information together :) [11:30] i have a script in class/ which does stuff like [11:30] hmm in not an expert @ linux but ill try [11:30] if grep HARDY32 /proc/cmdline > /dev/null [11:30] then [11:30] echo "MH_HARDY HARDY32" [11:30] elif grep HARDY64 /proc/cmdline > /dev/null [11:30] and so on...
