Hi -boot/-cd, Steve prepared candidate images for d-i beta 1, which I've started testing in virtual machines. Unfortunately the default desktop install (gnome) seems badly broken. So far, I didn't even manage to get a gdm3 prompt: #681830, #681837, #681855.
http://bugs.debian.org/681830 http://bugs.debian.org/681837 http://bugs.debian.org/681855 So I'll delay d-i beta 1 until those bugs are fixed. That should buy us some time to try kde/xfce/lxde/server installations, and possibly report some more bugs. Given the images are going to be re-built at some point, I think the pointer to the (known broken) images will be kept somewhere in #debian-boot's topic, to avoid confusion with later builds. I'm not sure whether we want to use this delay to possibly merge a new busybox with the s390x fix prepared by Aurélien Jarno. http://bugs.debian.org/681760 Given the m-i-t fun lately, I think I'd rather avoid uploading a new d-i at this point, and just get new images built once the gnome bugs are fixed. Mraw, KiBi.
