Bug#982473: debian-installer-netboot-images: Please provide the d-i-n-i packages a bit earlier before a release
Source: debian-installer-netboot-images
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
Debian Edu aimes to provide a complete network setup including the capability
for PXE installations. During development, the required netboot tarballs are
fetched from
deb.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-$arch/current/images/netboot/
until they are available via the d-i-n-i packages.
Debian Edu also aimes to provide a BD ISO image (both archs amd64 and i386)
containing all needed packages to allow offline installations. These images also
need to be tested before a release.
So it would help us a lot if the Debian Installer netboot images could be made
available a bit earlier before a release - maybe at soft freeze time.
Wolfgang
