Bug#783318: cdimage.debian.org: live+nonfree image does not use needed nonfree firmware in booted system

[Luk Claes]

Package: cdimage.debian.org
Severity: important

Dear Steve,

When testing the live image 
live-non-free/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-gnome-desktop+nonfree.iso
 for Jessie, my laptop booted correctly, but I failed to get wireless. 
Apparently the firmware-iwlwifi is on the image, but not installed on the 
booted system. After mounting /dev/sdb1 and manually dpkg -i 
../pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-iwlwifi_0.43_all.deb I could use 
the wireless.

As a live image is expected to work out of the box and this affects many users 
I have chosen to classify this as an important bug.

Cheers

Luk

Bug#783316: Architecture list in README.{html,txt} is long outdated

[Ben Hutchings]

Package: cdimage.debian.org
Severity: normal

According to README.txt:

   Debian is available for various kinds of computers (architectures),
   like IBM-compatible PCs (i386), Compaq's Alpha, Sun's Sparc,
   Motorola/IBM's PowerPC, and (Strong)ARM processors. Check the ports
   page for more information.

This omits amd64, and includes several unsupported architectures and
obsolete company names.  (In fact it doesn't seem to match the list of
supported architectures at any point in time, though it was almost
correct around 2001-2002.)

Ben.
