Hi all,

is there a reason, why we don't show download links for daily s390x images, at https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/index.en.html ?

It has been like this from the beginning of s390x 9 years ago (when replacing s390): https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/commit/e610fb4482915d16225e7414ee1566bd0edfe868

However for official Debian releases, we have such links: https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/debian-installer/

Any ideas/comments?


Holger

s390 porters?

Does noone need installer images for s390 in testing?
Or how you get them?

I always used the "other" images which *are* linked from there - you can
load them into the hypervisor and they boot up the installer, but you do
need working networking to grab the packages. I don't personally think
that there is much value in the CD images in the first place. There's a theoretical possibility to use them but I'm not even sure if they would
work properly at this point - it's definitely untested.

Kind regards

OK, so this might be the reason, why the situation has always been
as it is now.
So, as this can be considered as intended, I will leave that touched.

Thanks for your answer.
