Re: Testing Debian Edu specific ISO images -- 2022-03-26

Since the Debian 10 ("buster") release, also official Debian Edu

At release and point release days, all Debian ISO images are built and
tested, included the Edu ones; coordination happens on IRC (#debian-cd),
documentation on wiki.debian.org (account required).

In the past, I've tested the Debian Edu specific images but can't do
this for the time being; it would be nice if others could step up doing
this in the future.

Maybe this is a silly question, but is there any kind of automation for testing? Or everything needs to be done manually?
Are there any specific steps that describe how to do testing properly? Are you just testing the installation from the CD, or other things as well?

Maybe I am missing something, but I don't understand why DebianEdu needs special ISOs. In my opinion it would be much more convenient if you start from a basic/standard Debian system, and install DebianEdu on top of it (with tasksel, packages, scripts, etc.)
This would also be in the Debian spirit (that you can bootstrap and install it, without an ISO being necessary).
