Control: tag -1 wontfix Martin-Éric Racine <martin-eric.racine@iki.fi> (2025-12-27): > While d-i images mostly follow a consistent naming scheme, there are > two notable exceptions: the mini netboot ISO and hd-media: > > mini.iso > boot.img.gz Those are artifacts of the src:debian-installer build, and while they're available on mirrors, those aren't really “d-i images”. I see how versioning them might make it easier for (presumably expert) users to keep track of their downloads, but I don't think we would want to give those files a more “official-looking” status… > It would be desirable for these to follow the naming convention used > for other images: > > debian-13.2.0-amd64-mini.iso > debian-13.2.0-amd64-boot.img.gz Additionally they aren't produced in lockstep with debian-cd, who consumes the state of a mirror at a given point and massages it into images based on its configuration. We couldn't guarantee a 1:1 mapping between what happens when src:debian-installer is built and what happens later when debian-cd runs: maybe the latest d-i artifacts will need to be replaced by something else, maybe the version numbers won't match for some reason (e.g. what happens if we need to respin images, leading to x.y.1 versions?), etc. Tagging as wontfix for now, happy to get more feedback from others, but that looks like -done@ territory to me.
