Hello everyone,<br>
<p>I'm pleased to announce the availability of <b><u>testing</u>
netinstall tarballs</b>.</p>
<p>This is an early stage of development for the netinstall. While
Ecne is reaching a good level of maturity, it is still not
production-ready, so this release is targeted at early testers,
enthusiasts, and advanced users.</p>
<p>You can find the tarballs at:</p>
<blockquote><a
href="https://builds.trisquel.org/debian-installer-images/"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://builds.trisquel.org/debian-installer-images/</a><br>
</blockquote>
<p>Look for the file:</p>
<pre>debian-installer-images_20241227trisquel18.9.testing
</pre>
Currently available for the following architectures:<br>
<ul>
<li>amd64</li>
<li>armhf</li>
<li>arm64</li>
<li>ppc64el</li>
</ul>
<b>Please note</b>: Ecne meta-packages are not ready yet, so you
will likely only be able to install a minimal system for now. You
can then enable a custom development repository [1] to install a
desktop environment such as MATE, LXDE, or GNOME.<br>
<p>This d-i/netinstall release drops several old patches and adopts
an approach closer to Debian, while still applying
Trisquel-specific modifications.</p>
<p>I encourage you to test the installer thoroughly on VMs or test
hardware and report any issues or quirks that may still need
ironing out.</p>
<p><b>ARM users:</b> the netinstall will only boot on a limited set
of supported devices. This release doesn't change much from Aramo
in terms of compatibility; support still needs to be addressed on
a per-device basis.</p>
<p>Feel free to follow up on this mailing list or reach out via the
#trisquel-dev IRC channel.</p>
<p>Read you there, cheers! o/</p>
