Hi,
I am including multiple profiles in my image, but during installation I am
never prompted for which profile(s) to install, and instead only the
default profile is used.
The install log contains the following:
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna-install: Installing simple-cdd-profiles
Feb 6 18:35:32 apt-install: Queueing package less for later installation
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107): loading simple-cdd templates...
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107): asking simple-cdd debconf
questions...
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107): loading simple-cdd preseeding
files
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107): profiles:
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107): Finished with simple-cdd
debconf preseeding
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107): Queuing simple-cdd udebs...
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107):

default
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107): Finished queueing simple-cdd
udebs
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107): Queuing simple-cdd packages...
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107):
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107): Queuing packages for profile:
default
Feb 6 18:35:32 anna[2826]: (process:5107): Finished queueing simple-cdd
packages
So, it looks like the simple-cdd-postinst script is running, but it never
prompts for profiles to install.
I am building with the following command:
build-simple-cdd --conf simple-cdd.conf --locale en_GB --keyboard gb
where simple-cdd.conf contains the following:
profiles="gw build"
mirror_components="main non-free"
local_packages="./local-packages/"
export ARCH=amd64
export KERNEL_PARAMS="preseed/file=/cdrom/simple-cdd/default.preseed
priority=critical"
my ./profiles/ directory contains the following:
$ ls profiles/
build.packages build.postinst build.preseed gw.packages
gw.postinst gw.preseed
The built ISO contains the following files in /simple-cdd/
/media/cdrom$ ls ./simple-cdd/
build.packages build.preseed default.excludes default.preseed
gw.packages gw.preseed
build.postinst default.downloads default.packages default.udebs
gw.postinst simple-cdd.templates
And simple-cdd.templates contains the default content:
Template: simple-cdd/profiles
Type: multiselect
Choices: gw, build
Default:
Description: Select profiles
profiles are a simple description of common system types.
select all that apply.
The only way that I can get simple-cdd to build an ISO which installs my
profiles is to set auto_profiles="gw build" in the simple-cdd.conf, or to
pass simple-cdd/profiles="gw build" as a kernel start parameter. This does
not achieve the desired behavior as I wish to be able to select the
profiles at install time, not have them hard-coded.
Is this a bug in stretch versions of the tools, and should I report it as
such, or is there something I am missing?
Thanks in advance,
Sam
