Package: debian-installer Version: 20210731+deb11u2 Severity: normal Dear maintainer(s) of debian-installer,
I've been working on reproducible live ISO images for some time now [1] and the images can be generated in a reproducible manner. As the next step, I want to test the functionality of the live ISO images and recently I started working with Philip Hands to get them being tested in openQA. I have noticed that the officially released version debian-installer [2][3] will not work for bookworm and sid, because the kernel version in the debian- installer does not match the current kernel version. You recently fixed this in git [4]. Could you release a new version of debian-installer for bookworm and sid? Or do you recommend a different (release) strategy? I'm aware of the daily images [5], but they are currently not being snapshotted, which makes it impossible to reproduce an image after the older images have been removed from [5]. With kind regards, Roland Clobus [1] https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleInstalls/LiveImages [2] https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20220305T025031Z/dists/sid/main/installer- amd64/20210731/ [3] https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/current/ [4] https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian- installer/-/blob/f810235e642e7ed266cc6a41b8fccd864180714a [5] https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/ -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.16.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
