[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: lessdisks
Version: using initrd-nfsroot-tools on hppa, mipsel, ia64, sparc
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I've successfuly, though occasionally with difficulty, used
initrd-nfsroot-tools on i386, alpha, hppa, mipsel, ia64, and sparc.
Always just to set up a regular debian system as a nfs root system, not
using the rest of lessdisks. I think it would be good if it was
documented how to use those architectures and if the dependencies were
set up for the additional arches beyond i386 and alpha. This patch
attempts to do that; it depends on my other patch that makes
kernel-image-netbootable an arch dependent package.

One warning -- I've only set up each arch once, and it's been over the
past couple of months, so some info may be missing steps for some like
hppa.

Supercool!

I tried locating you on IRC yesterday for exactly this, but I am not
used to IRC and also don't know your timezone and usual laptop hours, so
failed.

I'll add it immediately!

Closes: 302633 302638
Changes: 
 lessdisks (0.5.3cvs.20040906-15) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Setup per-arch dependencies. Closes: bug#302633 (thanks to Joey Hess
     <joeyh@debian.org>, although implemented with vars, not file+sed).
   * Package kernel-image-netbootable for any arch (not only known
     working ones), now that dependencies can be strict for known ones
     and loose for the rest. Revert long description to match.
   * Setup per-arch suggestions (like dependencies) to avoid some of the
     debcheck complaints (but arch-all packages are still too inclusive).
   * Add some package tags:
     + lessdisks-xterminal enhances lessdisks-terminal.
     + kernel-image-netbootable enhances initrd-netboot-tools.
     + initrd-netboot-tools suggests kernel-image-netbootable.
   * Add kernel-image-netbootable dependencies for hppa, mipsel, ia64 and
     sparc, and document netbooting those archs as well as alpha. Closes:
     bug#302638 (thanks again to Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>).
   * Revert short description of kernel-image-netboot again: It is
     similar to the descriptions of kernel-image-686 and similar
     convenience packages, and the old string has nice translations.
     Reopen bug#286566 (and close it manually with this explanation).
   * Set urgency=medium as there's now too many improvements to argue for
     high urgency but we really want this in sarge.
