[Simple-cdd-devel] Bug#853198: simple-cddd cannot handle reprepro home made d-i repository

[Laurent COOPER]

Package: simple-cdd
Version: 0.5.0
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to use simple-cdd to build a set of CD with a customised debian-installer
I have a personnal debian repository with a custom debian installer. It's all handled with reprepro

The problem is about signature of the files

In official repository, Release file has a hash for the SHA256 file in main/debian-installer branche

Reprepro does not handle this

In the wget method for simple CDD, you have the line 

grep-dctrl --show-field ${checksum_field} --field ${checksum_field} .
$release_file | grep $(echo $file | sed -e
"s,^dists/${DI_CODENAME}/,,g") | awk '{print $1"  "$3}' | sed -e
"s,main/installer,$MIRROR/dists/$DI_CODENAME/main/installer,g" |
${checksum_tool} -c - || exit 1

that verify that the SHA256 file has a correct control sum in Release

As reprepro does not handle control sums for main/installer , simple-cdd failed with no clue.

Should this verification be turned into a warning or at least be switchable in config or by command line option swicth?

TIA
