Hi all,
as some might know, I am the new win32-loader co-maintainer. Unfortunately,
the meeting schedule doesn't fit for me, I won't be able to attend.
I would have had some points to discuss, so here is a short list:
* Next win32-loader upload: the svn has some pending translations (and
nothing else), so I can upload those at any time. It might be interesting to
have it done before the next d-i release (+ migrate it to testing).
* Call for testing for win32-loader: at the end of september I sent a "[RFC]
Call for testing" [0] that I intended to send to debian-devel. After
thinking of it a little more, I now think that a particular emphasis on
win32-loader within the next d-i release announce would be enough. If the
idea sounds OKayish, the text could be re-used from my never-used CFT.
Otherwise just ping me for a text at the time of the annoucement writing.
* win32-loader and kfreebsd with stable = Squeeze . win32-loader in its
standalone flavour is currently able to install a "stable" kfreebsd. As I
understand it, the kfreebsd-* arches are not necessarily going to be
released as stable. The thing is that the win32-loader code hardcodes some
URLs and takes some assumptions about where kfreebsd stuff will be installed
(see attached file for a code snippet). So there will probably be a need of
late-freeze-emergency upload win32-loader upload. That's not necessarily an
issue, but certainly worth to keep in mind.
(Note that this is not an issue for the win32-loader.exe that is on the CD's
as that one doesn't propose the kernel choice).
* New goodbye-microsoft.com ? That website once installed Debian; now it's
gNewSense that gets proposed. There is also get.debian.net, which had not
the win32-loader.exe until recently. It gained a "debian.exe" which is
apparently the goodbye-microsoft.com gnewsense installer (customized win32-
loader 0.6.13). So I think a canonical place for win32-loader-standalone.exe
would be nice. get.d.n ? under d-i.d.o ? Opinions ?
That's mostly it; cheers,
OdyX
