Re: [PATCH V4 0/3] d-i: support building bootable images for armhf targets

[Cyril Brulebois]

Hi,

Karsten Merker mer...@debian.org (2015-03-15):
 this patchset had been postponed to after d-i RC1 as discussions
 about it were still ongoing at the time for the RC1 release.
 I have in the meantime met Ian and Steve at FOSDEM and we have
 discussed the open topics there.  We came to the conclusion that
 using the concatenateable images approach is the way to go and
 that the space and bandwidth used by those images does not pose a
 problem for the mirror network.  I was busy with other topics
 during the last weeks, so it unfortunately took me longer than
 planned to strip the patchset down to the necessary parts and
 rebase it against the current codebase.

It's great you guys agreed. :)

 Follwing is the updated version of the patchset. I have run
 successful installation tests with all image types generated by
 it and it builds cleanly in pbuilder, so I intend to push it to
 d-i master for inclusion in d-i RC2.
 
 Kibi, is that ok for you?

Sorry for the lag, as explained out of band RC2 was long due, so I
decided to release it with those patches. Feel free to push/merge soon
to get that into RC3.

Mraw,
KiBi.
