Re: [Bug 1124072] [NEW] provide a script to download kernels and filesystems ?

 

Yes, of course, essentially because the file systems may be heavy. There 
are three options in my opinion :
1) have some distinct optional (recommended?) packages, one per filesystem
2) have a script as you propose
3) have a feature "file-system installations" integrated in marionnet
I don't have a preference, but at least one method should be provided to 
the user. If you are willing, the point 2) could be also a good starting 
point for 3).

Title:
  provide a script to download kernels and filesystems ?

Status in Marionnet - A virtual network laboratory:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I can't really include kernels and filesystems in the Debian package itself. What I'd like to do is provide a script that automatically downloads kernels and filesystems to the /usr/share/marionnet/ dir.
  This script doesn't really have a reason to be specific to Debian, and it would probably be easier to maintain if it was included in the upstream bzr repository and tarball.

  What are your thoughts on that?

  (I would work on the script myself, by reusing parts of marionnet-
  from-scratch).
