I'm wondering whether we shouldn't be trying to look at specific versions of installation-guide based on the target suite, rather than hoping for the best with ls -t|head -1. For stretch, it can be obtained with: | kibi@wolkenstein:~$ rmadison installation-guide -s stretch | awk '{print $3}' | 20170614 For buster, there's currently no version available in testing, so we could try to use whatever is in testing, and fall back to unstable if there's no such version? (If we implement checking several suites with a fallback, we could even check stretch-proposed-updates in addition to stretch, which would let us merge things in advance when a point release is being prepared.) What do you (-boot & -www) think? Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (kibi@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
