Bug#732827: RM: partman-ext2r0 -- ROM; No longer used in the installer
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
As stated by Martin Michlmayr in debian-boot:
==========================================================
I just removed support for Cobalt devices from the installer as these
devices are extremely old now and there are problems with the boot
loader.
We still have partman-ext2r0. This package was created to generate a
revision 0 ext2 filesystem, which is required to boot on 2 systems:
Netwinder (ARM) and Cobalt (MIPS).
Neither Netwinder nor Cobalt devices are supported by the installer
anymore, so I suggest we remove partman-ext2r0. Any objections?
==========================================================
As a consequence, the partman-ext2r0 package that only produces udeb
packages for D-I can be safely removed from unstable and testing.
