This was about a *netboot* image, which has *NOTHING* at all to do with CD 
images.

It has been known for ages that the D-I testing images are broken. They got 
broken by all the ABI changes after the Lenny release that were (rightly) 
allowed to migrate to testing. They get more and more broken with every 
udeb migration to testing.

The only way to fix them is by doing timely releases. And then ensuring 
that they stay working by tightly regulating what udebs migrate to 
testing.

Netinst for testing?

2009-10-24 Thread Dennis Wicks

Greetings;

I thought that I had previously gotten net install CD iso 
for what was then the testing release of Debian.


Today I can not find any such thing. Are they available? Or 
am I just not looking in the right place?


Thanks,
Dennis

Hmmm... If I follow that link, then click on
"• netinst ... and businesscard ... CD images ... [powerpc]"
I get taken to a directory that claims "This build finished at Thu Oct  
1 23:28:01 UTC 2009."


Is it possible that PowerPC CD builds have been down for over three  
weeks and nobody noticed?


!?!?!?!

That's very likely the case.

Looks to me that the general state of builds is rather pathetic ATM:
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/build-logs.html

Hard to see how people expect to be able to do a D-I release (as mentioned 
in the logs from the last team meeting) given that fact (amongst others).

Sorry. I should have just written "Looks like there are quite a few 
problems with builds ATM". Does not change the facts or the likelyhood of 
a successful upload/release any time soon though.
