As the referenced mail mentions, this is generally about source packages. Not speaking for -boot here, but in general terms. Britney will continue to propagate new binary packages when migrating new versions to testing. The release team has historically asked for some updates not to be released from NEW, but that was mostly to avoid uncoordinated transitions. Kind regards Philipp Kern

You might want to take that into account. Um, Jan 5th (i.e. upload by tomorrow-ish) is about uploads that are NEW or about re-entry. Neither applies for laptop-detect, so deadline is *Feb* 5th minus ten days for migration. Or I misread the message horribly. Christoph signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Now that laptop-detect has been orphaned I intend to do a QA upload in about a week (aiming for stretch). So I found this old issue, it seems sound, but I'm not sure whether it's is on the agenda, especially since the related but #487404 was closed in the meantime. Additionally, since Frans Pop stated in <200806281743.44118.elen...@planet.nl>: | Also, adding a udeb is not up to Otavio as laptop-detect maintainer. Any | new udeb needs to be approved by the D-I team and thus discussed on the | debian-boot list. ... a few mails were sent to debian-boot@ as well but AFAICS without a reaction. So any ACK/NACK from their side is appriciated as well. Christoph signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Is it still unclear why Debian Edu need the laptop-detect-udeb package? Can we please have it back, to allow us to drop our copy from the debian-edu-install package? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

[Otavio Salvador 2008-06-28] OK, that could be a valid reason. But you've not yet explained why you need it _before_ /target is set up. I also fail to understand it. I'll try to give some more background information. During installation of Debian Edu, a profile question is presented to the user, and based on the answer to thise profile question a lot of settings in the installer is adjusted. The package selection, setup and the partitioning are all affected by the answer. Because the partitioing is affected, the profile question need to be asked _before_ /target/ is available. When the profile question is asked, the default values are adjusted depending on the environment and the type of machine being installed. If installing in an environment without a main-server and on non-laptop hardware, the default is main-server + thin-client-server. If installing in the same environment on a laptop, the default is standalone. If installing in an environment _with_ a main-server and on a non-laptop, the default is workstation. If installing in an environment with a main-server present and on a laptop, the default is roaming workstation. To get this automatic setup working, we need laptop-detect in d-i. Please provide the udeb, to allow us to drop our copy of the laptop-detect in debian-edu-install. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
