Hi, Roland Clobus <rclobus@rclobus.nl> (2022-03-05): > I have noticed that the officially released version debian-installer > [2][3] will not work for bookworm and sid, because the kernel version > in the debian- installer does not match the current kernel version. > You recently fixed this in git [4]. > > Could you release a new version of debian-installer for bookworm and > sid? We could, and should, release a new d-i and possibly an Alpha 1 at some point, but I don't have a specific timeline for that. > Or do you recommend a different (release) strategy? A new debian-installer upload (prelude to the aforementioned Alpha 1) is only going to help until src:linux gets a new ABI bump, so that's only going to be temporary anyway. > I'm aware of the daily images [5], but they are currently not being > snapshotted, which makes it impossible to reproduce an image after the > older images have been removed from [5]. If you're using a specific build, you could mirror it on your side, and then have a way to point at the mirrored copy so that you wouldn't depend on d-i.d.o's contents (that's an approach seen in various projects, e.g. time-based snapshots and tagged snapshots in Tails, even if that's for Debian as a whole, not d-i)? How long do you need to go back / how long do you need to keep a given build? Maybe we could just keep (some) builds for a longer while there, but that's at 90 days already.
