I have opened merge requests to remove the dmraid/sataraid code from d-i. The changes look like low risk to me, but obviously I have no idea. For the lack of a build environment I also didn't test them. Given d-i does nothing with dmraid unless the boot flag is present, I want to ask if dmraid could also stop shipping its udeb, if thats ok with debian-boot? Thanks, Chris

Exactly. Regards, Laszlo/GCS

Hi Laszlo, whats the status of dmraid? Do you have dmraid hardware or is this merely on life-support? * Paul Gevers : > What would you say about this? Even if d-i would not need it anymore, we > would need work to drop the dependency chain via > libblockdev/udisks2/gnome-control-center. I'm wondering if we should remove dmraid support from the d-i as a first step. AFAICT Intel Software RAID is supported by mdraid, not sure if the other RAID platforms are still sold. If its gone from di-i, at least no new installs can spring into existence "by accident", i.e. where mdraid would have been the better choice. What do you, Laszlo and d-boot, think? Chris
