    Hi Roland,

    Roland Clobus <rclobus@rclobus.nl> (2023-04-10):
    It turns out that the package 'live-installer' (which is a udeb-only
    package) in Bookworm still is at version 57 [2], while the fix was
    released at version 58.

    Could the package be unblocked? (And/Or will there be an installer
    RC2?)

    (Yes to RC2, maybe even RC3.)

    The new version of live-installer is working correctly, as can be seen
    by a sid build of the live image on openQA [4].

    I asked Jonathan on IRC while preparing RC1 (slightly edited):

    [ kibi] highvoltage: I don't think you answered my live-installer question?
    [ highvoltage] kibi: I didn't think it warranted an unblock
    [ highvoltage] kibi: but if it did for roland's changes then he could file one
    [ kibi] highvoltage: ok, ta

    Besides the obviously missing `dch -r` call (“Mon, 15 Apr 2019” was
    quite surprising for something uploaded in March 2023), there are lots
    of changes that are nowhere suitable at this stage of the release
    process.

    That plus Jonathan's answer triggered my deciding against unblocking the package on my own (with my d-i release manager hat). That being said, if
    the release team is willing to unblock the package as is, that'd be fine
    with me. I suppose it'll be suggested to cherry-pick the desired
    change(s) and to upload 57+deb12u1 via tpu, or to back out the undesired changes and proceed with 59 via unstable. (Both are fine from a d-i
    point of view, as long as the package reaches testing in the end.)


    Cheers,

    Roland Clobus <rclobus@rclobus.nl> (2023-04-10):
    Aside from Janitor, modernisation and lintian corrections, my change was the only functionality change in four years (as seen by diffoscope, see below).

    Maybe, but one shouldn't have to resort to diffoscope to figure this out
    at this stage of the release cycle.

    There is no autopkgtest, but the openQA run for sid shows that the change
    has its intended effect.

    If I had known that I would need to file an unblock request, I would have done so, but the timing (patch, merge, release) was rather unfortunate.

    OK.

    It is certainly not a release critical issue, but I personally find it quite annoying to have to wait about 30 minutes for the installation, and then to read 'Installation is complete, so it is time to boot into your new system', press a key and then wait another 2-3 minutes before the reboot is actually performed, while the additional waiting time could have been incorporated into the longer non-interactive phase.

    Looks like unacceptable/silly delay to me, esp. if a fix is already
    available and has been confirmed to have the right effects. Please get
    in touch with the release team to get that fixed in Bookworm.

    (This reminds me of avoiding one update-initramfs call for each firmware package installation, meaning 1+ minutes instead of 10-15 seconds): I
    didn't file a bug report for it, so I'm not sure whether I would have
    called that serious or important or something else, but that's definitely something that's annoying enough and easy to fix that I'm happy to fix
    even if it doesn't exactly follow the letter of the freeze policy. But
    several minutes? Even stronger feeling towards getting the fix merged.)

    Disclaimer: I haven't looked at the diff.
