Re: Preparations for jessie-kfreebsd release

[Steven Chamberlain]

Hi all,

I created this new Wiki page about release preparations:
https://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD/Jessie

It lists current d-i issues I'm aware of.  I have fixes for many of them
but would like feedback, and advice on uploading fixes to the new
jessie-kfreebsd suite.

I also mention on that page how to help test the installer, which is now
the most important thing to fix up before we can release.

We need to set up jessie-kfreebsd d-i builds somewhere.  In the meantime
I share my unofficial builds on that page.  We'll then need to figure out
how and where to set up CD builds and test those too.

I think it will take us one more week to be ready for release.

Regards,

Preparations for jessie-kfreebsd release

[Steven Chamberlain]

Hi,

I'm glad to hear we have a jessie-kfreebsd suite set up:
https://lists.debian.org/20150426144240.ga12...@pyro.eu.org

and it works already with the now-official mirror redirector
(http.debian.net - httpredir.debian.org).

Was there any progress in getting security builds to trigger?  And
which queue/suite will those go into?

I'll be looking at adapting debian-installer to use the new respository
URLs, and fixing some remaining d-i issues.  I'd like to make some kind
of BETA release similar to what debian-edu are doing.

I did some linux d-i image testing using lots of real hardware on
jessie release day, and I'll do the same for the kfreebsd images.  Many
people can help out with this once there is some kind of BETA, and we
have more time to fix bugs before releasing.
