BUG: "bookworm" netboot image still references "bullseye" release
Hello Release-Mailinglist,
I stumbled upon this "bug" using di-netboot-assistant and thought that
this mailing list might be the best
point of contact, feel free to teach me otherwise if I am mistaken :)
What I tried:
- Download
https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
- Extract tar archive
- Run "zcat debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz | grep -c bookworm"
Output: "0" (i.e. no references to "bookworm" inside the initrd)
- Run "zcat debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz | grep -c bullseye"
Output: "13" (i.e. still a lot of references to "bullseye" inside the
initrd)
One of the results of those references is that the netboot image
searches for preseed.cfg files on the tftp server under a directory of
"bullseye".
If I provide a preseed file there, the installer reports a "Bad archive
mirror" ("mirror does not support the specified release (bullseye)"). My
guess is that the release file is checked for both Suite and Codename,
and since "bullseye" is not "testing" anymore, it always fails.
Expected Result:
- the bookworm initrd does search for preseed.cfg under "bookworm" and
accept debian mirrors as valid.
Kind regards,
Christoph Sarnowski
