ACK. I agree with you. At the very least, we should make it less easy
for people for find links to unsupported installation media.

Sorry about that.  I don't think we should continue to link to
unsupported images, but I now see that we still have installer pages
for all releases that used d-i.  In my commit
0a388832cb4a7e9dfe1265fa04d1c441e9730e23 I intended to remove the non-
LTS arches from the page, but that obviously didn't work.

Bug#925266: two different versions for Jessie install media (8.11.1 for LTS, 8.11.0 for the rest)

Hi all
Install media version 8.11.1 has been created for Jessie LTS
architectures only, so we need to keep on offering 8.11.0 images for the
non-LTS arches (currently we have broken links for mips, mipsel,
powerpc, ppc64el and s390x because they point to non-existent 8.11.1
images).

I have created a branch including the needed tags to offer the correct
images for each architecture:

https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/tree/jessie-8.11.0-and-8.11.1

and a merge request:

https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/merge_requests/81

I have built in local and it seems everything is correct. Attached you
can find the result.

There is a little more work to do, though:

* Explain more clearly in
/english/releases/jessie/debian-installer/index.wml that 8.11.1 is only
available for LTS arches.

* The result (attached) is a bit ugly, IMO, with 2 rows of links to
images for each type. I couldn't find the way to put all the
architectures in the same row. I tried to add some label "LTS" and "non
LTS" but I only succeeded in displaying those in a row *after* the list
of links, so I didn't like it either.

Please comment on this, if you think it's ready to merge I would merge
it soon. If I get no comments in one week or so, I'll count it as it's
ok and merge it.

Kind regards

Debian “jessie” Installation Information
 


Installing Debian 8.11
Debian 8 has been superseded by
Debian 9 (stretch). Some of these
installation images may no longer be available, or may no longer work, and
you are recommended to install stretch instead.


To install Debian 8.11
(jessie), download any of the following images (all i386 and amd64
CD/DVD images can be used on USB sticks too):



	netinst CD image (generally 150-280 MB)
amd64arm64armelarmhfi386
mipsmipselpowerpcppc64els390x




	full CD sets
amd64arm64armelarmhfi386sourcemulti-arch
mipsmipselpowerpcppc64els390x


	full DVD sets

CD (via BitTorrent)

other images (netboot, flexible usb stick, etc.)

If any of the hardware in your system requires non-free firmware to be
loaded with the device driver, you can use one of the
tarballs of common firmware packages or download an unofficial image including these non-free firmwares. Instructions how to use the tarballs
and general information about loading firmware during an installation can
be found in the Installation Guide (see Documentation below).



netinst (generally 240-290 MB) non-free
CD images with firmware
amd64i386




Notes



	For downloading full CD and DVD images the use of BitTorrent or jigdo
	is recommended.

	For the less common architectures only a limited number of images
	from the CD and DVD sets is available as ISO file or via BitTorrent.
	The full sets are only available via jigdo.

	The multi-arch CD images support i386/amd64; the installation is similar to installing
	from a single architecture netinst image.

	The multi-arch DVD image supports i386/amd64; the
	installation is similar to installing from a single architecture full
	CD image; the DVD also includes the source for all included packages.

	For the installation images, verification files (SHA256SUMS,
	SHA512SUMS and other) are available from the same directory as the
	images.
