[Trisquel-devel] [netinstall] new tarball for the netinstall

[Luis Guzman]

Hello people,

There have been some updates on packages that should fix some outdated 
mirrors list on the netinstall debian-installer.

If you are lucky enough to own an compatible ARM64 or PPC64EL arch that 
can boot using the Trisquel netinstall then you might have seen that it 
was it was no showing available mirrors in it, or at least that's what's 
been reported.

This is due to an outdated Mirrors.masterlist file we've been using for 
quite sometime, I was tracking down a separate bug and I found the 
underlying problem.

There has been some changes, some packages updates have landed and now 
there should be options on such archs to see mirrors available when 
installing.

  * https://gitlab.trisquel.org/trisquel/package-helpers/-/merge_requests/1577
  * https://gitlab.trisquel.org/trisquel/package-helpers/-/merge_requests/1578

For amd64 users, you should see an updated mirror list, deprecated 
mirrors should not be listed anymore, and some new ones are now shown, 
you can find the latest tarball at:

These new changes should improve the workflow design to follow and be 
sure updates reach the required packages so we get consistent changes 
both in the debian-installer as for ptyhon-apt, in all archs.

If you have the opportunity to test this out and confirm please, let me 
know.

Regards.
