Hi, Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> (2024-05-22):In d-i, pkgsel starts tasksel, so if that's available in tasksel…so we're one year later, there was quite some traffic on the MR, but nobody seems to have requested merging this as it is, confirming it's in a suitable enough state to get published to the masses: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/merge_requests/30
I have sort of asked for Lomiri inclusion in tasksel and installer here three weeks ago: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/merge_requests/30#note_609616 (and below).
The missing bit mentioned there has been fixed by Guido directly after my request, so the MR is good to go from the Lomiri packagers' perspective.
In Lomiri & co themselves, we still have various work items on the list (improving session stability, usability and Debian branding), but this is unrelated to this MR.
I also plan to ask the release team for a Debian Edu exception regarding inclusion of an extra bin:pkg education-desktop-lomiri the coming week (unrelated here, just as a side note). The decision regarding Lomiri in tasksel sort of depends on the nature of that education-desktop-lomiri bin:pkg (normally we depend on/recommend the tasksel package and add edu things on top). If there will be no Lomiri tasksel bin:pkg, we will pull in Lomiri packages directly via the education-desktop-lomiri bin:pkg. (Doable, but less preferred).
Similar story on the Phosh thing, which was never even mentioned on this list: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/merge_requests/29 If we were much earlier in the release cycle, we could consider “work in progress” quality tasks, but we're near the end, we would add to introduce new binary packages (which per freeze policy was already forbidden since the previous step), so I'm tempted to call all of this too late.
Don't know anything about Phosh status, but it would probably be good to Cc: @agx on this. (Done for this mail).
Unless someone strongly feels differently, and convinces me to rethink this, I'll drop both entries from the wishlist for Trixie.
I raise my hand here, because I strongly feel different regarding the Lomiri part of this mail. Thanks for sending this mail, so there still is some chance to turn the wheel (hopefully!).
