What I had in mind was adding some kind of `echo $VERSION > VERSION` in the src:debian-installer build system, so that the VERSION file would be shipped alongside the rest, then included into the archive, allowing for easier introspection than looking into .disk/* after loop-mounting stuff. (The archive tooling merely unpacks a specific tarball into place, there's no specific “Debian mirror generation” magic.) > Another question: Would including mini-ISO into the regular batch > release scripting for cdimage (and thus adding mini-ISO to cdimage > mirrors) be entirely out of the question?
