debian 8.2 and fallout - Githubissues

philippt commented 8 years ago

Hi Jakob,

first of all: Thank you very much for sharing these templates!

Here are some adjustments I had to make to build Debian 8.2 images - besides from the new URLs/checksums, I

added a new value grub-installer/bootdev to preseed.cfg - Debian 8 seems to need this
changed the disk_size variable to be a string - same as in the pull request https://github.com/jakobadam/packer-qemu-templates/pull/3, I believe. Without this change, packer returns Failed to parse template: 1 error(s) occurred: variable disk_size: '' expected type 'string', got unconvertible type 'float64'
added ssh_wait_timeout because otherwise I'd run into a timeout during the build.

Hope this makes sense...let me know if not ;-)

Cheers, Philipp

PS: FWIW - using Packer 0.8.6 on Ubuntu 15.04.

Hey Philipp

I missed out on the disk_size type change. The packer docs are still not updated to reflect it.

Could you leave the debian77-* templates in the repo for people interested in that version?

Thanks, -- Jakob

Sure...I've added the debian77*.json files again (and changed disk_size in there as well).
