Package: debian-installer Severity: important Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: ni...@thykier.net User: ni...@thykier.net Usertags: rrr-no-as-default-issueHi,Filing this one to ensure it is on my bug radar for the MBF and for tracking status. The patch is at https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/-/merge_requests/57Best regards, Niels
HiThe transition has moved to the endgame and this bug is now RC. This bug is filed on the assumption that the remark in d/rules about a part of the code needing root is true. The provided patch (MR) explicitly has debian-installer opt-in to the previous status quo of `debian/rules binary` being run under (fake)root, so it should have 0 risk of regressions from a package build perspective.
I can do an NMU for this package to resolve the RC bug. However, I am not sure if will be helpful or just be in the way. My end goal is to have the bug fixed in testing. But the debian-installer is not just "any package" and I have no insight to all the happens around it besides the upload, where an uncoordinated upload may be more harmful than helpful.
So, we are back to: Would it be helpful if I NMUed the debian-installer package? If not, then I will leave it in your capable hands.
Best regards, Niels
