   [ Anton Zinoviev ]
   * Use non-recursive make-files.  Closes: #767260.  Some ideas borrowed
 from http://mischasan.wordpress.com.
   * New configuration variable BEEP controlling the style of the system
 beep.  Documented in console-setup(5).
   * console-setup-{linux,freebsd}: Add an alternative dependency
 init-system-helpers (>= 1.29~) to initscripts.  Closes: #804988.
   * keyboard-setup.sh.init: remove the unnecessary "Should-Start: keymap
 udev".  Thanks to Felipe Sateler for the helpful discussion.
   * Move the main logic out of the init.d scripts into scripts installed in
 /lib/console-setup.
   * console-setup.service: move this service out of single user mode.  Do
 not require to run it before getty.
   * Keyboard/kbdcompiler: generate properly the precomiled keymaps for
 console-setup-mini; they have been totaly broken for a while...
   * Keyboard/{xmlreader,compose_translator}: use utf8 instead of the
 deprecated encoding pragma.

Hi,

your package keyboard-configuration declares a dependency on the
initscripts package.

Please check, if this dependency is actually needed and remove it
otherwise. On a system using systemd, the initscripts package is no
longer required. Removing the dependency from your package will allow
users to remove the initscripts package from their system.

Regards, Michael

severity: important

Hi,

when building console-setup with -jX, it sometimes builds correctly and 
sometimes not. Please fix it to either build correctly in parallel or force 
-j1 if you cannot find the root cause for this.

See the build history on the left side of 
https://jenkins.debian.net/view/d-i_packages/job/d-i_build_console-setup/ to 
find plenty examples of that. 

The place in the log where it fails is:

It's a symlink to the licence text, presumably because Bastian read the
distributor licence as requiring we put it in the same directory as the
firmware.

[...]

The latter is in firmware-linux-free, which as I said doesn't generate
DEP-11 metadata.  I'll fix that in the next upload.

ACK. Easy enough to toggle between both anyway. Maybe I should even
keep both codepaths active and use them to detect inconsistencies
between file list in Contents and Appstream metadata in Components…

Alright. I ran diff plus some pipes, without checking each and every
package, which explains this kind of false positive.

It seems the following files are under lib/firmware but not listed in
Appstream metadata:
  lib/firmware/ipw2x00.LICENSE
  lib/firmware/isci/isci_firmware.bin

Not sure about the former but I suppose the latter should be listed
there?

Well, as far as I can tell from a debian-installer build, this package
isn't used at build-time. That it gets installed by default is one
thing; but as I mentioned in my initial reply, we might need to load
firmware(s) within the installer context, sometimes before having
network set up, or the /target filesystem, etc.

(I have no idea whether that is relevant for any of the firmwares
included in this particular package.)

Also: Thanks for your feedback.

All the binary packages built from firmware-nonfree get it
automatically, but I forgot there were so many other firmware packages.
Maybe your way is better for now.

That means it's built from a separate source package which I haven't
yet added DEP-11 generation to.  But it's also recommended by linux-
image-* so gets installed by default anyway.

I've modified the script to use dep11 information. Comparing results, it
seems some packages are missing those “AppStream metadata”, and should
probably get a bug report accordingly?

If you want to do it in the way it was proposed some days ago (move the
blends and the desktop choice into separate pages):

You could use a "Section" keyword in the tasks header: this is already
there for the structuration of tasks. Then the "main" task would just
display everything without a section, and one option for each section
(currently "Desktop Environment" and "Debian Pure Blends"). Enabling
these options leads to follow-up screens showing their content.

Aside from keeping the initial tasksel screen clean, this would also
naturally remove the confusing checkboxes that are currently on the
sections headers.

Bug#825034: debootstrap: fails if no base packages are to be installed

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.67
Severity: normal

Helmut Grohne reported in #-devel that `debootstrap --variant=minbase`
fails for unstable:

+---
| Setting up systemd-sysv (229-6) ...
| Setting up init (1.33) ...
| Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.22-9) ...
| dpkg: error: --unpack needs at least one package archive file argument
|
| Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
| Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
| Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
| Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
| Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
|
| Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or 'more' 
!
+---

This is probably caused by "apt"'s priority getting increased from
"important" to "required".  The "minbase" variant then installs no
additional base packages (base="apt" is already installed).

Helmut confirmed that adding another packages ("ed") as an additional
base package to the "minbase" variant made `debootstrap` complete
successfully.

I've reverted the priority of "apt" back to "important" for now.

Right, forgot about that. But what the mapping is built from doesn't
really change the need for embedding it, see below.

Well, this needs to be embedded within d-i for a number of installation
images. We can't rely on a network mirror in any cases, and we don't
have dep11 in cdrom images at the moment either. Checking with

That information already exists in DEP-11 metadata that APT will

I don't need ssh-server, I need ssh-client and that's what was missing. 
Beyond that though, why is iwconfig on any of these isos?  The iw 
package was supposed to have replaced iwconfig especially with the more 
modern linux kernels.

Not everybody wants to run servers (even ssh) by default on new
machine installations, so ssh isn't installed *by default*. However,
there is an option in tasksel to install "SSH server" if that's what
you want.

Improving firmware reporting

[Cyril Brulebois]

[ Note: I've added d-l-e to the loop since people there might have some
  insight about the prompt update I'm proposing. ]

Hi,

An email earlier today reminded me of this old topic: it would be nice
if hw-detect would point us to the right firmware package(s) instead of
letting D-I only report the list of missing firmware files.

I've modified hw-detect to make it possible to build (and update) such
a mapping:

${firmware_filename} ${firmware_package} ${section}

which is going to be shipped as usr/share/hw-detect/firmware-map in
the hw-detect binary.

Like choose-mirror, this file is generated outside of the source and
binary builds (since it needs network access), and will need updating
from time to time (ideally once before every release, but I'll probably
add a cron job on d-i.debian.org to get notifications).


=> The question is now: how do we present this to users?

The current template is:
| Template: hw-detect/load_firmware
| Type: boolean
| Default: true
| # :sl2:
| _Description: Load missing firmware from removable media?
|  Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The
|  firmware can be loaded from removable media, such as a USB stick or
|  floppy.
|  .
|  The missing firmware files are: ${FILES}
|  .
|  If you have such media available now, insert it, and continue.

The FILES variable gets set by check-missing-firmware.sh through:

db_subst hw-detect/load_firmware FILES "$files"

and we could do the same with a PACKAGES variable which would contain
e.g.:

firmware-atheros (non-free), prism2-usb-firmware-installer (contrib)

(by looping over $files and grepping into this new mapping file.)


Quick idea:
| _Description: Load missing firmware from removable media?
|  Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The
|  firmware can be loaded from removable media, such as a USB stick or
|  floppy.
|  .
|  The missing firmware files are: ${FILES}
|  .
|  The following packages contain some of these files: ${PACKAGES}
|  .
|  If you have such media available now, insert it, and continue.

The trick is: we might reach some point where (at least) it's not
possible to resolve a filename to a package. That's why I've used a
rather cautious wording above. Having an extra line with the list of
unresolved filenames would be cumbersome in the general case. Having it
only conditionally would mean having troubles translating it.

Maybe sticking to the simple sentence below would be appropriate for
most cases:
| They can be found in the following packages: ${PACKAGES}


What do you think?

Unless some compeling reason exists not to do it, could wireless-tools 
and iw get added to the isos?  I don't know why iwconfig continues to be 
on this type of debian when iw was supposed to have replaced it and is 
supposedly more harmonious with modern kernels.  I tried configuring my 
wifi connection to xfinity with iwconfig and wpa_supplicant and couldn't 
get it done post-install and suspect I need a few more tools and I'm 
doing this with command line.  If espeakup by default gets mate 
installed is orca also installed?

Subject: Debian Installer Stretch Alpha 6 release

The Debian Installer team[1] is pleased to announce the sixth alpha
release of the installer for Debian 9 "Stretch".


Important changes in this release of the installer
==

* This release fixes the package installation issue which appeared
  lately with the previous alpha release (#814343).
* Debian Pure Blends can now be enabled directly from the Software
  selection screen. This might change in a later release though
  (#758116).


Improvements in this release


* brltty:
   - Install MATE desktop by default when brltty is used in d-i.
   - Disable auto-detection of Cebra, Albatross, and BrailleMemo
 devices in d-i, since they are rare and conflict with other
 devices (#782732).
   - prebaseconfig: Enable screen reader in KDE.
   - prebaseconfig: Support 4th bootline parameter.
   - brltty-udeb.udev.rules: Add new USB IDs.
* cdebconf:
   - gtk: Auto-scroll when switching between entries.
   - text: Print one screen worth of choices, and use +/- to switch
 between choices screens (#809739).
* debian-installer:
   - Bump linux kernel version from 4.3.0-1 to 4.5.0-2.
* espeakup:
   - Add support for multiboard systems: request the user to press
 enter at the right time to select a given board.
   - Improve language/voice lookup.
   - Install MATE desktop by default when espeakup is used in d-i.
* flash-kernel:
   - Avoid waiting for Ctrl-c when debconf is running (#791794).
* net-retriever:
   - Concentrate on SHA256 now, following archive-side changes.
* netcfg:
   - Improve behaviour when user-submitted input contains spaces
 (#818611).
   - Improve error checking in various places.
* network-console:
   - Improve support for multiple addresses (#816600).
* parted:
   - Fix problems with LVM and DASD devices (#814076).
* partman-auto:
   - Bump space requirements for a lot of recipes (#725642).
* partman-basicfilesystems:

proper method for getting the source for the debian-installer for building my own test images

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I did apt-get source debian-installer and was told to download the 
debian-installer from git so I did this.  Then I tried to do a demo 
build of the GTK target and it failed with unable to create directories 
in /tmp and things not existing.  I then went to the debian-installer 
wiki pages and was told there to checkout the subversion sources then 
use mr to murge in the git changes.  My question is what is the correct 
method for checking out and building the debian-installer after 
installing the build dependencies using apt-get build-dep 
debian-installer as I think the README file and the wiki pages should 
all have the the same information and not two different sets of 
directions on two different pages?  Nick Gawronski

Re: Bug#758116: Allow to select Blends selection during installation - just "DE", "Web server", "Mail server" is NOT enough

I'm not sure whether "expert mode" fits the intended user target group.

I think this is a good hint.  I admit the thread went in three ways out
of my competence:  One are technical details I have not dealt with
before, one is the installer philosophy I have not thought deeply about
and finally there seem to be personal issues involved I can't sensibly
comment on.

So I'd like to summarise the intention of bug #758116:  We need to find
a sensible answer to the question that is asked by users whenever I'm
talking about Blends:  How can I easily install a Blend?

Kind regards

Andreas.

Re: Debian Installer Stretch Alpha 6 release

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, Another issue I found is of course backports did not work even when 
I selected it for installation as there are no backports yet for 
testing.  The installer just told me that the repository was commented 
out but it gave the URL instead of the backports information.  What 
would it take for the message to say something like backports could not 
be verified there for this repository is commented out as currently it 
looks like it could not download any information from the repository 
when infact it was just one that failed?  Nick Gawronski

Re: Debian Installer Stretch Alpha 6 release

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, One thing that would be nice to add in the next version of the 
debian-installer is brief descriptions of what tasks do for example in 
the alpha 6 screen select and install software lots of selections exists 
and as some are very good by their names like DebianMultimedia other 
ones are not so well explained by their names like Debian Astro.  The 
descriptions should take up probably no more then one or two lines at 
the most.  Nick Gawronski

fuzzy-marked po entry is used for translation in Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide

[AYANOKOUZI, Ryuunosuke]

Dear Debian Installer team,

a 'msgstr' in fuzzy-marked po entry is used for translation of corresponding to 
a 'msgid'
in Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide on the web [1].
Is this expected result?

[1] https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual.en.html

3rd paragraph in section 4.3.1. (The CD or DVD image...) [2] is good example of 
this issue.
The po entry corrsponding to the paragraph is marked as 'fuzzy' in Japanese po 
file [3].
Since the po entry is not updated after source XML was updated [4].
But, the 'msgstr', which corresponds to the 'previous-string comment' but does 
not to the 'msgid',
is used for translation of the 'msgid' in the manual on the web [5].

[2] https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en

You can find such kinds of (fuzzy-marked and not obsolete) po entry by 
following steps.

$ svn checkout svn://svn.debian.org/d-i/trunk/manual
$ for PO in ./manual/po/*/install-methods.po; do echo "# ${PO}"; msgattrib 
--color=always --only-fuzzy --no-obsolete "${PO}"; done | less -R

I am looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely yours,

Re: Bug#758116: Allow to select Blends selection during installation - just "DE", "Web server", "Mail server" is NOT enough

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

[Cyril Brulebois]
> Please explain how you came to that conclusion.

I'm sorry, but the thread so far do not make me believe you are not
really want to understand what I mean, but instead look for a way to
push your view and any explanation I come up with would be brushed away.

I believe it is best for me to not get involved in d-i.  To me, based on
the current and earlier email and IRC exchanges, d-i development seem
like a toxic environment and I believe my effort is better spent
elsewhere.  Thus I do not see the point of spending the time to try to
explain why and how my view is fundamentally different from yours, as I
am conviced the effort will be wasted.  It make me sad, but I just do
not have the energy to try to do something about it.

I was hoping to work on hw-detect and isenkram integration, but have not
been able to muster the motivation to do it so far.  I will probably
limit myself to adding an udeb for isenkram and leave the d-i part to
others, even if it probably mean automatic firmware setup will not
become part of the official installer.

I suspect the cause is just a question of incompatible personalities
involved, and either that the culture was different back when we ran the
d-i project at the start or that I changed so much the culture is no
longer friendly to me.

Hi,

two more ideas from irc:

< pabs> KiBi, tbm: re blends/desktops stuff, what about showing that only in
 expert mode?
< h01ger> or a dedicated image, which uses a kernel cmdline param to enable 
 blends-mode…

Thanks for confirming that your “Being able to add extra tasks using
udebs is a feature, not a bug.” wasn't really on topic then.

Having this kind of move forced on us doesn't seem reasonable to me,
which has been exactly my point over the past few mails.

Let me reiterate: I don't want this to happen ever again.

What? I'm talking about a future evolution. I can't see why something
using a pre-pkgsel.d hook to prepare things for d-i couldn't be
updated to create e.g. an extra file to get pkgsel to behave as
intended. I don't see why such implementation details would be
important in this discussion, and that's why I mentioned “debian-edu
udebs can certainly interact with it so that it behaves as desired”.

Pretty sure I'm not the one “misunderstanding” anything here.

As you say, disconnecting and re-connecting are things that make more sense 
with the ssh network-console.  I’ll give that a try next time I feel 
adventurous and have a couple of hours to kill experimenting!

No problem!  It’s always fun trying out a new and useful feature.

This, or some other workaround, will have to be described in the documentation 
for the feature.  I suggest that it go in the release notes for the first 
official release to contain the feature.  A wiki page is probably also 
appropriate.

The kernel assumes that the default size of a serial console should be 24x80.  
This probably goes back to the early days of video terminals with UNIX in the 
1980s.

It is possible to change the assumed size of a serial console using the “stty” 
command with its “rows” and “columns” options.  Unfortunately doing so doesn’t 
inform “screen” of the new size — you have to do that yourself by resizing the 
terminal window it’s running in.

I can’t think of any way to automate that rather complicated process, so I 
guess the only sensible approach is to accept 24x80 as a given limitation and 
just live with it.  After all, who are we to argue with 30 years of history!

Bug#824991: override: init:metapackages/important

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

As discussed in [1] I would like to make it possible for minimal
systems (mostly buildd chroots and application containers like Docker)
to not have to install an init system.

For this the "Essential: yes" field is moved from "init" to
"init-system-helpers" (to provide invoke-rc.d/update-rc.d). I would
also like to downgrade the priority of "init" from required to
important. With the priority change, debootstrap should no longer
install a full init system in the "minbase" and "buildd" variants.

On the d-i side, I hope this doesn't break anything as debootstrap's
default variant should not be affected by these changes, unless d-i
can also install a "minbase" variant?

And just for the record: a system with no "init" should have a
"policy-rc.d" policy that rejects all actions, but this is already the
case for chroots.
