Re: where is now reiserfs in Debian-testing netinstall?

2010-03-24 Thread Christian PERRIER
Quoting Frans Pop (elen...@planet.nl):

 To use reiserfs with daily images you need to either:
 - boot in expert mode and select 'partman-reiserfs' as optional component
 - boot the installer with the option 'modules?=partman-reiserfs'
 
 I will send a general announcement of this change soon.


As it sounds like a decision that might appear as a general decision
of the Debian Project, I wonder if that could appear in the release
notes.

ReiserFS no longer offerred by default
-
 Because ReiserFS development is stopped upstream, this file system
 will no longer be offerred as choice for partitions created
 by the installer, during default installtions.

 To enable ReiserFS support, users should either:
 - boot in expert mode and select partman-reiserfs as optional component
 - boot the installer with the option modules?=partman-reiserfs

where is now reiserfs in Debian-testing netinstall?

2010-03-23 Thread dimas

hello!
earlier i've installed Debian testing several times from bussinesscard 
images (28M) and all was fine. but now i was really surprised when i 
tried to do this and haven't found Reiserfs in installer's partitioning 
menu. i've tried 2 of latest amd64 bussinescard image (from 19.03 and 
from, as i remember, 20.03), also tried today's bussinesscard and full 
netinstall (180M) i386 images. and there was no reiserfs neiether in 
usual install nor in expert install.

where is it now?
PS. i'm not subcribed here, so pls send responses directly to me as well

Because reiserfs is no longer actively maintained upstream and because 
there are now good alternatives, we have made support for reiserfs 
optional instead of standard.

To use reiserfs with daily images you need to either:
- boot in expert mode and select 'partman-reiserfs' as optional component
- boot the installer with the option 'modules?=partman-reiserfs'

I will send a general announcement of this change soon.

Cheers,
FJP
