Hi Cyril, I have completed the installer testing for dasd and zfcp and this is the only outstanding item for s390x installer. I would recommend it for backporting.
The merge request: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/s390-dasd/-/merge_requests/1 Attached is the patch for ready reference.

I'd suggest creating an account on Salsa, and requesting access from https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team To contribute patches to our packages, you can fetch the git repository e.g. via debcheckout, and either push directly to master, or open merge requests. Filing bugs/attaching patches via the bug tracker would work too. Once patches are made their way to the relevant git tree, a developer can check everything looks good and sponsor the package. After a while, you can be trusted to upload a subset of packages, by becoming a Debian Maintainer. Regarding the backporting to bullseye, I'm usually coordinating them with the release team, so I'd suggest focussing on preparing things for unstable, and getting ahold of me so that I deal with the backport. :) Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (k...@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant [attachment "signature.asc" deleted by Dipak Zope1/India/Contr/IBM]
