[Simple-cdd-devel] Package location failure building stretch

Mon May 8 17:01:40 UTC 2017

I made some of the changes you suggested (using --profiles instead of
--conf, ignoring the docs in the conf file), and I was able to get a little
further. There are some new errors and the build log no longer exists:

It isn't clear what the error here is. There is a mirror-wget.log, but it
doesn't indicate any errors.

Additional comments inline.

I just installed from the tip of master on the git repo and it indicates
version 0.6.1:

---
Installed /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/simple_cdd-0.6.1-py3.5.egg
Processing dependencies for simple-cdd==0.6.1
Finished processing dependencies for simple-cdd==0.6.1
---

The packaged version from sources is 0.6.4.
