I'm currently feeling that the way we currently point users to the various builds on the d-i main page (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer) is not optimal.
Basically, we have 3 sections here: -beta4 -tc1 -daily builds The daily builds section links to a dedicated page (www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/builds) explaining the differences between sid_d-i and sarge_d-i Strangely, this page mentions sid_d-i as the "daily builds" while the main installer page link in "Daily builds" points to http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/ which has *sarge_d-i* builds There are several consequences to all this: -we receive "too much" reports for beta4 and for nearly all of them we always answer one of the following: -"please test a more recent image such as tc1 and sid_s-i" -"this has been fixed. Please try....." (tc1 or sid_d-i)" -tc1 which was meant to be a test candidate is probably is bit too visible currently and several users take it as the last "official" release" -sid_d-i images are very hard to find Just before Saturday's meeting, I received a proposal by Vince McIntyre for a "how to help us testing d-i" page: http://people.debian.org/~bubulle/d-i/irc-meeting-20040619/vince2.html I suggest that -we keep only beta4 on the main d-i page as "official release". Put here a link to the "builds" page. -we remove the tc1 pointer from the main page -we keep a "daily build" paragraph pointing to a new page called the "builds" page This "builds" page should be basically the current http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/builds where we inject Vince McIntyre proposal. Do you think we can converge on these ideas ? The most critical point, imho, is currently the lack of visibility of sid_d-i and a too much visible sarge_d-i release... -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
