 BTW, I'll talk about using xz for whole archive try in this DebConf.
 (now I submit it)

 If you've interested in that, let's discuss :)

Bug#673576: s390 DVD-1 Release file broken

[Alain Benvéniste]

Hi Steve

I will test it as soon as 6.0.6(?) will be available. You make a difference 
between s390 and s390x for the installer but not with the DVD. Does the DVD 
covers the both architecture ?

Thanks
Alain

Re: CD sizes again (and BoF reminder!)

Based on Sledge's list of packages for the CD images, I prepared a list
of savings-per-binary:

For GNOME, we can save up to 137 MB changing compression up to
task-gnome-desktop (108 MB by changing only 100 out of 969 binaries).
Or up to 252 MB up to task-laptop (183 MB changing only 100 binaries).

For KDE, it is 136 MB up to task-kde-desktop (106 MB for 100 binaries)
or 197 MB up to task-amharic (150 MB changing only 100 binaries).

Please note that these numbers include packages from the base system.
The real gains should be a bit less.

I'm not sure how much savings we need to fit things on CD1, maybe Sledge
can fill this?  Also I'm a bit unsure why Sledge had a bit higher
numbers on -devel earlier[1].

Please take a look at the files in [1] for details.  They list binary
packages, saving for switching this package (in kB) and the sum of
savings switching all packages so far (in kB).

Bug#673576: s390 DVD-1 Release file broken

s390 is in squeeze (6.x)

s390 and s390x are different architectures (different packages,
different CDs, etc.) for wheezy (7.x)

the plan for the release after wheezy (8.x) so far is to drop s390 and
just continue with s390x.

It's rather 10M vs. 700M, but well... what should I say.

Kind regards

Bug#497471: sarge images have syslinux binaries without source

[Daniel Baumann]

reopen 497471
thanks

first, please do cc bug submitters if you care for an answer, the bts
does not notify submitters when you write to a bug.

second, reopening the bug: it doesn't matter if debian supports sarge or
not; the images with missing sources are still distributed from
cdimage.debian.org.

and finally, i'm afraid i do not have any copy of 2.04 of syslinux.
