This is debian installer components with ZoL support.

The following branches with the remote repositories have had changes that is related to ZoL:

base-installer    git://anonscm.debian.org/d-i/base-installer.git
debian-installer  git://anonscm.debian.org/d-i/debian-installer.git
grub-installer    git://anonscm.debian.org/d-i/grub-installer.git
partman-zfs       git://anonscm.debian.org/d-i/partman-zfs.git
zfs-fuse          git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/zfs-fuse.git

The repo is NOT intended for casual use, it is merely intended to be used by people wanting to help perfecting the Debian GNU/Linux installer.

Once Debian GNU/Linux have accepted ZoL into it's repository, this repository will be deleted.

Packages needs to be created from all of these repos, then checkout the debian-installer branch, cd into it's build directory, put the udeb packages in the 'localudebs' directory and then issue the command "make_d-i.sh" found in the 'master' branch of this repo.

This because we need to do some 'hacking' - the ZoL components doesn't (yet) exists in Debian GNU/Linux, so we need to get the ZoL installer components AND all the non-modified components from the ZoL package archive.

This is a flaw in the debian installer, which can't have multiple sources, so all the non-modified components ALSO needs to be in the ZoL archive.
