Hi, First, apologies for the timing on this, real-life has eaten all my time of late, and when I had some time to spare the InRelease split bug threw a spanner in the works. Here are some patches that I've been failing to get into d-i for a couple of releases -- it would be really nice to avoid making that 3 releases. https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/preseed.git/log/?h=pu/preseed-fetch-checksum and https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debian-installer-utils.git/log/?h=pu/preseed-fetch-checksum I'm pretty confident that this doesn't do anything unless you actually try to enable the functionality by adding checksums to your preseeding, or the -C option to preseed_fetch, and also providing the script to do the lookups, so the chances of it impacting normal usage really ought to be nonexistent. So, is it OK to push that into master? Is there a particular time that would be better to do it, or to then release the udebs? BTW It definitely works -- although I'm yet to test the hook for doing lookups. That should be tomorrow, and since the script is something that one can (and currently must) provide via preseeding, I don't think that can be a problem. BTW Included in there is a commit that really _is_ needed before release (updating the release name in the default preseed path): https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/preseed.git/commit/?h=pu/preseed-fetch-checksum&id=2add7cce825140d843dc95cf1a73349542b92dd4 Cheers, Phil. P.S. I think this would be better if it were using SHA>=265, but we're still on MD5SUM elsewhere in the code, so I guess that will need to wait. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] HANDS.COM Ltd. |-| http://www.hands.com/ http://ftp.uk.debian.org/ |(| Hugo-Klemm-Strasse 34, 21075 Hamburg, GERMANY
