This page is about public meetings the DebianInstaller team held. Dates and times are in [http://peswiki.com/index.php/UTC UTC]. The meetings usually take place on the #debian-boot IRC channel on irc.freenode.org. They are announced on the debian-boot mailing list.


March 2006, 2006.03.04.1700

Please note that in case the beta2 release (due out on March 1st) is delayed, the meeting will also be delayed.

Topics:

  • Summary of the beta2 release. Celebrate the first release managed by Frans with virtual beverages.
  • Discussion concerning the kernel .udeb and the way we will be handling out-of-tree modules and non-free modules or firmware. This involves improving d-i/anna/libd-i/whatever to handle more than one apt source for .udebs.?BRSome relevant threads:

  • Next release plans
    • beta3 or RC1?
    • start active work on persistent device naming (goal-->set a separate meeting for this issue)

    • find a flexible method to reorder menu items for certain installation methods; option to drop menu items for an installation
    • use cases:
      • network-console after loading extra components (#288053)
      • language-chooser after network-console
      • don't offer 'start a shell' in G-I (as it won't work)
      • using Etch d-i to install Sarge
      • 2.6 based floppies?
      • look into implementation of Sylvain's work on lowmem
      • g-i integration
      • graphical partitioner tool (Xavier Oswald work)
