[http://people.debian.org/~bubulle/d-i/irc-meeting-20060624/log Meeting log]

Meeting held on Saturday June 24th 16:00 UTC ([http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/06/msg01170.html announcement]).

Meeting topics (expected duration 60 minutes?):

  • Status reports
  • Beta 3 release
    • Overview: ?DebianInstaller/EtchBeta3Prep

    • Preparations have started with announcement to translators and porters
    • Main blocker is that we need 2.6.16 in testing - 10 mins
    • Massive coordinated migration of udebs needed: most interdepend - 5 mins
    • Some changes in debian-cd needed after migration - 5 mins
    • Ports need testing! - 5 mins
    • Questions:
      • Known issues not listed on overview page? - 5 mins
  • ppc64 cross||native installer - 5 mins

    • So, do we want to support the port or not?
    • Of the proposed changes, most invasive (and needing future maintenance) are for kernel udebs, base-installer (kernel selection) and debian-installer
    • Arguments in favor
      • Most changes are trivial and do not hinder d-i team
      • Andreas has been very open and proactive in this request and looks likely to remain that way
    • Arguments against
      • Port has very little support
      • Theoretical alternative of cross-install support in d-i (use 32-bit installer to install 64-bit system); Andreas sees this as an additional feature, not a replacement for a native installer
    • Proposed conditions
      • d-i team will not maintain ppc64 data
      • ppc64 will not be allowed to interfere with release plans (i.e. any needed changes have to be submitted in time)
      • in principle no separate uploads for ppc64 changes
      • to be removed if not maintained
  • Post-Beta3 development - 15 mins
    • Removal of 2.4 kernel support
    • Persistent device naming
    • Supplemental repository support for udebs
    • Graphical installer
      • library upgrade
      • all fonts must be udebs; automatic font switching on language selection
      • cleaning up and debugging
      • check what is really supported and what not (mainly powerpc)
