Sorry for the misunderstanding andthe upload of two packages that had pending stuff, one week ago (IIRC, grub-installer and partman-efi: these are the ones you may want to ignore). I've just reinstated my "hold on" status and I'm refraining from uploading the few packages with more pending stuff since then. The only change that is not a translation update in these two uploads is: grub-installer (1.105) unstable; urgency=medium [ Steve McIntyre ] * Add support for mixed EFI systems: 64-bit Linux running on top of 32-bit UEFI. -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Holding off, then, though I don't really see what's a > problem now (apart from the release not being announced)..;-) You mentioned d-i's transition to testing; that's only a prerequisite to a release, not the ultimate thing that we're aiming at, as pointed out by Julien already. I've developed a few scripts to help me extract bits for the release announce; in the current state, only what's mentioned in the d-i build logs can be managed this way. Having further uploads in the archive makes it harder to gather other relevant information. This doesn't exactly help (quite the contrary). If you think I could have been clearer when I asked to wait, please propose a wording for me to use next time. KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#744865: Add check and warning for unetbootin
So, some progress on this front. I've filed a bug against unetbootin itself to ask for warnings "Don't use this for Debian CD images" (#775689) and there has been some discussion there. I've now tried the current stable and unstable versions of unetbootin myself with the latest Jessie d-i RC1 amd64 netinst CD and could not get it to work at all usefully. *sigh* I've no idea how people ever manage to get unetbootin to work for them - documentation is non-existent. What I *do* have now is some information about the contents of the resulting USB stick, so I can add a checks in d-i for various files and trigger a warning something like "It looks like you're using an installation disk generated using unetbootin. This is regularly linked with difficult problem reports from Debian Installer users; if you have problems using this installation disk, please try your installation again *without* using unetbootin before reporting issues. See the installer documentation at ... for more information on how to create a USB installer disk." Stuart Prescott has opened a few more bugs with patches for our docs to help users with this; see #775814, #775821, #775824, #775826. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore.
