• Scripts building kernel and initrd images

    From Tuan M. Hoang@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 13 02:00:02 2016
    Hi debian-s390,

    As far as I learnt from the debian-s390 archive, mainframes 'prefer' to
    boot using kernel image (kernel.debian, initrd.debian) rather than from
    ISO/CD images.

    I would like to learn the code that build up these kernel & initrd
    image files, which are located at http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-s390x/current/images/generic/.
    If the code is publicly accessible, where should I can find them ? I
    guess the code shares some similarities with those building ISO images
    on other arch but I don't even know where to get them neither.

    Thanks,
    Tuan

    https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debian-installer.git/tree/ has the
    code. I suppose for ISOs you need https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-cd/debian-cd.git/tree/

    Kind regards
