Lingo and terminology you'll hear bandied about among the users and developers of SprezzOS:
- APT. Debian's Advanced Packaging Tool, a system used to track and manage debs.
- d-i. The Debian installer, on which s-i is based.
- DBTS. The Debian Bug Tracking System (custom software) at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/.
- Appropriate bugs are forwarded there from Sprezzabugs.
- deb. The Debian software package format, used by SprezzOS and other Debian-based distributions.
- debs are generally served from an APT repository.
- FWTS. Ubuntu's Firmware Test Suite, included on SprezzOS's install media.
- s-i. The SprezzOS installer, based off the Debian installer "d-i".
- s-i involves several source trees:
- s-i (installer + udeb collection) at https://github.com:dankamongmen/s-i.git, corresponding to svn://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/trunk
- sprezzos-installer (installer core) at https://github.com:dankamongmen/sprezzos-installer.git, corresponding to git://git.debian.org/d-i/debian-installer
- SprezzOS (install media builder) at https://github.com:dankamongmen/SprezzOS.git, with no known Debian correspondence
- Various udebs
- s-i involves several source trees:
- Sprezzabugs. The SprezzOS bug tracker (Bugzilla) at https://www.sprezzatech.com/bugs/.
- When appropriate, bugs are forwarded to the DBTS; such bugs ought be tagged with the dbts keyword.
- Sprezzawiki. The SprezzOS wiki (MediaWiki) at https://www.sprezzatech.com/wiki, used to provide hyperlinked SprezzOS documentation.
- udeb. "Microdeb" aka μdeb. A deb used in the installer, stripped down to bare essentials. See Chapter 3 of the d-i manual, "D-I Components or udebs".
