apt-setup: replacement of sources.list by debian.sources

[Stéphane Blondon]

Hello,

I'd like to see the change from sources.list to debian.sources file
for the next release. There is a wishlist bug already posted for the
current stable but it was too late (#1032131), and perhaps no
volunteer to implement it.
I cloned the repository of apt-setup [1] and tried to run it:
$ mkdir output
$ ./apt-setup output

After several echo and dirty modifications, there is a quiet error
because 'apt-setup/progress/title doesn't exist'. I guess I'm not
executing it properly.
 - What is the correct way to develop on this source code?
 - Is there a documentation about it somewhere else?

Other topic on same repository:
`find . -name "*ubuntu*"` shows two files:
 - 'generators/50mirror.ubuntu' file. It has not be modified
significantly since 2015.
 - 'debian/apt-mirror-setup.templates-ubuntu' file. It has not be
modified since 2009.

Ubuntu has migrated to ubuntu.sources with 24.04 release. The new text
provided inside their sources.list is not in the 'master' branch so I
guess Ubuntu uses other tools or modifies it downstream.
So I wonder if these files could be removed because it would an easier
step than replacing sources.list to start working on the repository.
 - Do you know if it's deletable?
 - If not, do you have a right contact in Debian or Ubuntu to ask? I
think to send a message to Colin Watson which was the main commiter on
these files.

I subscribed to the mailing list.

anna-install ssh-server

[Geert Stappers]

Hi,


My intented goal is to recieve files from a partialy installed system.
(copy of /var/log/installer  and some files made with "logger" `script`)


I have network connection.

But don't known if I should "push" of "pull" from the botched system.
Current attempt is "pull". (Because not knowing which "push" tool
is available in debian-install rescue system.)

Upon `anna-install ssh-server` I get `unknown udeb ssh-server`.
(with 'dropbear' also "unknown udeb".)

What is the current name of SSH server in debian-installer?

It's called openssh-server-udeb

You might also want to look at network-console

Cheers, Phil.
