Doing both on the same day sounds good to me fwiw. Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: gpgv udebs

One more followup about gnupg and udebs-- The gnupg packaging currently makes a gnupg-udeb in addition to a gpgv-udeb. This post is about gnupg-udeb, and not gpgv-udeb. I'm proposing to drop the gnupg-udeb entirely. It looks like it was used at one point in the past for partman-crypto, but it is no longer used there. I searched here: http://codesearch.debian.net/results/gnupg-udeb/ and the only places it shows up are the changelong for partman-crypto, and a test case for python-debian. the package isn't actually used any more. So i plan to drop the gnupg-udeb in a future release of the gnupg package, unless i hear a report that it's something people need. Anyone want to speak up in favor of keeping it? --dkg

Many other distributions include such non-free things, but Debian makes you have to explicitly choose to have non-free code on your system. -- Len Sorensen

Re: i can not boot Debian Installer Stretch Alpha 1 release CD
Hello. Thank you very much for the information, I think in my case it was a problem when download or burn the cd. Anyway for now I installed the stable release.

The reason is simply that 'mount -tauto' didn't work, while explicitly specifying the type found with blkid works fine. Doing some archeology reveals the relevant error messages from syslog: With 'mount -tauto': kernel: [ 109.257009] UDF-fs: warning (device sda9): udf_fill_super: No partition found (1) kernel: [ 109.378443] FAT-fs (sda9): utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive! main-menu[550]: (process:4539): mount: mounting /dev/sda9 on /media failed: Invalid argument With blkid: [ 80.943104] EXT4-fs (sda9): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) These happened during check_missing_firmware, i.e. this comes from mountmedia. I think that convinced me not to use 'mount -t auto' in cdrom-detect. However, that was two years ago. Much could have changed in the meantime. Ok, I will try to reproduce it and see if it still happens. This is used in both cdrom-detect.patch and mountmedia.patch. Please, be aware, that I'm not telling you your approach is incorrect. It seems we are lacking the explanation or rationale on why you made that decision in order to evaluate that change in a fair manner. I'm curious: Why are you asking that now? I'm in debconf15 trying to push forward some improvements that I'm interested of as this one. Having around real people to speed things helps but don't raise your expectations too early.
