Building Trixie Alpha 1 images

[Cyril Brulebois]

Hello images team,

This just happened:

Copying installer version 20241227 from unstable to testing

Will copy installer version 20241227 from suite unstable to
testing.
Architectures to copy: amd64, ppc64el, s390x, armhf, arm64, mips64el, riscv64
Architectures to skip:
Installer has been copied successfully.
Done

As planned we're removing support for armel and i386.

Looking at riscv64, it seems to have become an official release arch a
little while back[1]. Its images tarball features netboot stuff (hence
this question regarding d-i-n-i[2]), but also cdrom things:

./installer-riscv64/20241227/images/cdrom/
./installer-riscv64/20241227/images/cdrom/debian-cd_info.tar.gz
./installer-riscv64/20241227/images/cdrom/initrd.gz
./installer-riscv64/20241227/images/cdrom/vmlinux

so I suppose debian-cd should do something with it. :)

(I've cc'd Aurélien again, just in case
)

2. https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2024/12/msg00218.html

I'll look into the website next, checking whether it got prepared for
trixie yet and tweaking things as needed. Then see if the massive
changelog from bookworm can be built as usual. Finally check whether
it can be massaged into something decent, or if it's better to stick
to a couple of important points followed by “lots of other stuff
changed”.


Cheers,

[Aurelien Jarno]

riscv64 CD images are generated daily for some time, so I guess that
should just work.

Maybe riscv64 people can also take a look at the installation-guide
for this arch.
I have pushed the basics, so that it is being built, but you might
want to look for arch-specific content...
