Aaron RainboltHoly brain melt, debian-installer preseed files are NOT easy to work with! Especially not if you have to configure partitioning.

Cyril BruleboisFinal review and merge of Lukas Märdian's merge request, adding <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Netplan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Netplan</a> support to <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/DebianInstaller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DebianInstaller</a> → <a href="https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/netcfg/-/merge_requests/9" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/netcfg/-/merge_requests/9</a> (uploaded as netcfg/1.190).Whether `netplan-generator` gets installed by default is a *different* question though, and the installer team probably won't be making that decision.

Vagrant CascadianThis reminds me of a talk I gave at <a href="https://floss.social/tags/DebConf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DebConf</a> 17 about installing <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Debian</a> on <a href="https://floss.social/tags/ARM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ARM</a> based systems and exploring the idea of using a live image for the installer.<a href="https://debconf17.debconf.org/talks/116/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://debconf17.debconf.org/talks/116/</a>Not a new idea, really, and the <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Calamares" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Calamares</a> installer by <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Mobian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mobian</a> used lacks a lot of flexibility that <a href="https://floss.social/tags/DebianInstaller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DebianInstaller</a> provides...Still, this may be the first time I actually used a live installer for real and perhaps best of all, I did very little of the work!Thanks everyone who made it possible!

Cyril BruleboisRecap: <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/DebianInstaller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DebianInstaller</a> Bookworm RC 4 was planned around end of May.Another occurrence of <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/MissionAccomplished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MissionAccomplished</a>!→ <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2023/05/msg00003.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2023/05/msg00003.html</a>

Cyril BruleboisHow is this <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/DebianInstaller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DebianInstaller</a> session going, you ask? Current mood is “the SVG whisperer”.

Cyril BruleboisRecap: <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/DebianInstaller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DebianInstaller</a> Bookworm RC 3 was planned around mid-May.As Ethan would say while pushing the big red button: <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/MissionAccomplished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MissionAccomplished</a>!With thanks to the images team (debian-cd) and the archive team (ftp) for trusting me to handle parts of their workload, meaning a very comfortable autonomy in the release process.→ <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2023/05/msg00001.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2023/05/msg00001.html</a>

Cyril Brulebois<a href="https://floss.social/@XOrgFoundation" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@XOrgFoundation</a> The answer is obviously: “whatever people actually doing the work are going to be working on!”Speaking as a former X maintainer in Debian, and as someone who integrated it in the graphical installer, replacing DirectFB… Feeling a little sad to see that old friend go, not sure about the timeline in distributions, or about what (re)work will be needed in <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/DebianInstaller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DebianInstaller</a> to keep a graphical version. But I'm sure we'll manage!Full support! 💯
