Hello Joeyh, * Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2004-01-01 05:35]: | Happy New Year, everyone! | | I have not managed to download the ISO yet (phone troubles), but I am | fairly sure that the New Years Eve ISO images will fix nearly all the | outstanding showstoppers for i386. There are one or two more important | but not essential things pending[1], and they will make it into the Jan | 1st or 2nd images. So I'm fairly confident that d-i will be in a | releaseable state for i386 by this weekend.
maybe you can delay this process a little bit. alioth is currently down,
and I have reinstalled my hppa machine this morging.
I think we should beta release as many architectures as possible! Please
create a freeze of the images for one arch and wait some days to freeze
other archs. After this delay we can release two or three archs.
| Of course that leaves the ports. Both powerpc and ia64 have made progress
| in the past couple of days:
| - powerpc daily builds are back
| - powerpc isos being created again
| - powerpc kernel issues partially straightened out
I have tested the latest images (31.12.2003) from manty's repository.
The cdrom's works well on my iBook2 but I have found two minor problems:
1. why the DEBCONF_PRIOPRITY is set to "low"?
2. I'm unable to debootstrap any distribution. isn't this an known bug
busybox?
Summary: powerpc images are beta2 ready! :-)
manty: please change DEBCONF_PRIORITY to "high" in:
install/powermac/yaboot.conf
| So my new plan is, as soon as i386 is releasable, to work to migrate the
| current set of debian-installer udebs and images to testing. AJ has
| agreed to do this without the usual testing delay stuff, all in one
| lump. After that is complete, we will make a "beta2" branch in the CVS
| tree, and open HEAD to development. However, we will *not* upload
| developmental udebs to unstable, because that would make it hard to get
| any fixes into testing -- so anyone who wants to do work in HEAD will
| have to set up their own udeb repository or upload to experimental or
| something. Uploads to unstable will be reserved for changes to fix
| porting problems. Once a port is ready for release, it will be copied to
| testing the same as i386 was.
please do it for powerpc also.
Bye
Thorsten
