Why they were, and at least for now will continue to be, is mostly related to the setup of how the iso's themselves are built. Basically it's a two-step process. The first step builds everything that's needed to generate the iso's from a set of directory trees (disc1, disc2, disc3, bootonly, livefs, and dvd1) and stops there. At that point the packages directory appropriate for each of the iso images gets added to the proper directory, and the second step gets run to build the iso's. I decided to not add yet another directory tree named "memstick" because for the forseeable future the memstick image will just be what's on the DVD as far as everything but the packages is concerned, and for packages it will just be the documentation packages and no others. So in between the first and second steps of the normal release build I "borrow" the dvd1 directory tree (placing just the doc packages in it temporarily) to generate the memstick image before putting the packages used to generate the dvd iso image in place and running the second step of the release build. > Is there any way it can be included with the snapshots iso's? Yes, I'll be including memstick images with the 201002 snapshot which are in the works now. And I'm using this to convert what I had been doing manually into a script that should land in src/release/scripts some time in the not too distant future. If what we distribute for the memstick image isn't quite what you want you should be able to use this script to build what you do want... - -- Ken Smith - - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkt7ad0ACgkQ/G14VSmup/bqngCePSu6cd7xrP/ievJ55ltUqNqd PBEAn1pNra54nPJuNEYsyEJ9EzirzPuV =yH4n -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
