[Trisquel-devel] Debian Installer T12 open for testing

[Luis Guzman]

Hello everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the availability of *_testing_ netinstall tarballs*.

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.

You can find the tarballs at:

    https://builds.trisquel.org/debian-installer-images/

Look for the file:

debian-installer-images_20241227trisquel18.9.testing

Currently available for the following architectures:

  * amd64
  * armhf
  * arm64
  * ppc64el

*Please note*: 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.

This d-i/netinstall release drops several old patches and adopts an 
approach closer to Debian, while still applying Trisquel-specific 
modifications.

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.

*ARM users:* 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.

Feel free to follow up on this mailing list or reach out via the 
#trisquel-dev IRC channel.

Read you there, cheers! o/
