dl-ubuntu-test-iso

NAME

dl-ubuntu-test-iso - downloads ISOs for testing

SYNOPSIS

dl-ubuntu-test-iso [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

dl-ubuntu-test-iso is a small script to download Ubuntu (+ Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc) ISO images for testing purposes. It may or may not be useful to people outside the QA team. It is _NOT_ meant for downloading released ISO images. If you don't participate in testing, you shouldn't run this script.

The script uses rsync, which means that the second time you run it, it only downloads the changes to each ISO.

The ISO image files will be put into ~/iso (an "iso" directory in your home directory).

You can put a configuration file (~/.dl-ubuntu-test-iso) and set some variables to limit what will be downloaded. See sample values below.

   * ARCHS: what architectures to download
   * FLAVORS: what flavors of Ubuntu? Ubuntu itself, Kubuntu, etc
   * VARIANTS: for each flavor, what variants? desktop (= live cd)?
     alternate cd?
   * OPTS: options for rsync

You can get sample configuration files at /usr/share/doc/ubuntu-qa-tools/examples/

OPTIONS

Listed below are the command line options for dl-ubuntu-test-iso:

-h or --help

Display a help message and exit.

-n or --no-act

Do everything, except don't actually run rsync. You can use this to test configuration settings, etc.

--debug

Similar to --no-act, but echos the actual rsync commands, as you might expect, this is useful for debugging the script or configurations

-P

Run rsync with the -P option, to get progress reporting.

--only <flavor> or --flavor <flavor>

Only download a specific flavor of Ubuntu. Only the last --only option applies. (You can also set FLAVORS in the configuration file.) --only should probably be considered deprecated.

--exclude <flavor>

Do not download a specific flavor of Ubuntu. You can use this option multiple times, and none of the specified flavors will be downloaded. (You can also set EXCLUDE in the configuration file.)

--release release

Only download a specific release target of Ubuntu. Only the last --release option applies. (You can also set RELEASES in the configuration file.) "hardy" is the earliest release target
