Having focussed my attention on d-i releases for so many years whenever debian-cd was involved, it appears I totally missed a big change that happened before I drew short straw for “who's doing d-i now?”, and that was never documented on the website, so we've been lying for 12 years… Weekly build setup change: https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/setup/-/commit/6dcb58e3259036b56925ef277010ce85037b7abd Tentative fix in: https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/commit/a22870164df5007ae4f4e356dfe54983be0f1e9e Already visible on: https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/index.en Sorry for the confusion… and thanks for insisting after my initial and too hasty “it's a known bug, everything's fine” half-assessment… Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (kibi@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
