Hi Cyril, * Cyril Brulebois <[email protected]> [2026-06-25 10:17]:
Holger Levsen <[email protected]> (2026-06-25):<jochensp> on #debian-reproducible just now:"we are down to two packages in forky that FTBFS with debrebuild: command-not-found (fix in #1104517) and debian-installer (fix in git)" so we are wondering whether you could upload d-i to sid now or whether it would be ok if we'd do it? i'd be happy to upload, also to DELAYED/14 or /2 :) Please advise what to do.Preparing an actual release is what I've been thinking about for a while now, and I'd rather avoid having a random upload in the archive until then. If I'm reading between the lines correctly you'd like all of *forky* to be debrebuild-able, so that wouldn't be about having an updated d-i in sid only, but also in forky, and some coordination with many other packages would be required, and I'd rather avoid imposing that on the relevant maintainers if we're not actually ready to build a release. Seeing the recent (over)flow of security updates… I really don't want to be in the middle of it until I've got a plan. That would mean getting in touch with the images team and I'm not sure I'm able or willing to try and get something rolling before the upcoming (double) point release early July…
I see your point and while a release to forky would be awesome, I think it would already be great to have a new version in unstable so we can test it on https://reproduce.debian.net/ with all architectures. I also just did a test and d-i from git is still reproducible.
Cheers Jochen
