Re: Other images (netboot, USB stick, etc.) for beta3



Hi Holger,

Yeah, using the “current” symlink means that at least when a new
debian-installer upload happens, the previous release points to d-i
images that will (or only might) be the basis for the next release.

In webwml, images.data has:
| <define-tag other-images>
| <images-list url="http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-@ARCH@/current/images/"; arch="<strip-arches "<devel-images-arches />" "source" />" />
| </define-tag>

If that's easy to do, I'd propose setting a new variable which would
be holding up the d-i version used for the last release, which we
would update at each release. Otherwise, hardcoding the date in that
other-images tag would be an option (even if slightly more awful).

What do you think?

Mraw,
KiBi.
