I put SSH trigger into the room, instead of sudo. You supply the version
on the ssh cmdline, and if that exists in unstable, a copy-installer is
run with that version. Could even be extended to have source and target
suite selectable too.

That looks very good to me, thanks!

I think we only released the installer via tpu once, at least that I
could confirm by checking my sent box:

dak copy-installer 20220917 -s bookworm-proposed-updates

but it could indeed be nice to be able to specify at least the source
suite, just in case we encounter some blocking bug in unstable again in
the future.

Re: Debian 9.7 , Downloading issue

Hi,

Steve McIntyre, a Debian Developer who is in charge for debian-cd, offers
binaries for MS-Windows:
  https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/jigdo/download/jigdo-win-0.8.1.zip
If you have PGP, you may verify it by the associated key:
  https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/jigdo/download/jigdo-0.8.1.tar.xz.sig
See also the "Downloads" paragraph on
  https://www.einval.com/~steve/software/jigdo/


Alternatively you may first download a Debian Live ISO via https, put it
on DVD or USB stick or run it in a virtual machine, and then use it to
download the desired debian-cd ISOs.
See
  https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive

(Lacking experience with non-GNU/Linux systems i cannot well describe how
to get access to a writable filesystem on the hard disk of your normal
operating system. If this imposes difficulties, you will have to ask at
mailing list debian-l...@lists.debian.org or at places where a mix of
other operating systems and GNU/Linux is on topic.)


Have a nice day :)
