.disk/info should contain flavour/version of live image
Hi all,
with the bookworm live images, the format of the .disk/info file on
the iso images has been modified, for example:
bullseye:
# mount -o loop debian-live-11.2.0.amd64-kde+nonfree.iso /mnt
$ cat /mnt/.disk/info
Official Debian GNU/Linux Live 11.2.0 kde 2021-12-18T13:54
bookworm:
# mount -o loop debian-live-12.0.0.amd64-gnome.iso /mnt
$ cat /mnt/.disk/info
Debian GNU/Linux 12 "Bookworm" - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20230610-08:51
The problem: There is no way to find the image flavour
(gnome/kde/standard) of the image from .disk/info, it's identical for
all images.
Now, di-netboot-assistant uses the information provided in .disk/info
to generate live netboot (ipxe/grub) boot menu entries for live images [1].
This partially fails now, because the menu entry titles are identical.
It would be nice to provide the image flavour as before in .disk/info.
Best regards,
Andi
