    hi,

    are there any plans to introduce triple-layer blu-rays for debian?

    it'd be nice to have everything fit (currently just over 80gb) in one
    .iso9660 file

    even if it's just the .jigdo files and hashes that are distributed,
    it'd be nice to have this as an official .iso9660 file for
    security/hashing purposes

    when debian grows to over 100gb, i'd expect yet another single-file
    option, if the community agrees

    thoughts?

    I guess not:
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1011343

    But there is a workaround:
    https://wiki.debian.org/MergeDebianIsos

    Possibly it is not yet tested with Debian 12. So reports about success or failure would be welcome.


    Have a nice day :)

    I assume that the script merge_debian_isos is mainly usable with a set of
    ISOs made by the debian-cd package. The files of which the content gets manipulated are probably specific to debian-installer.

    But of course its mount operations and its xorriso run demonstrate how to
    merge multiple ISO 9660 filesystems without refering to Debian specific
    files.
    In the general case i would expect the need for some kind of file
    collision handling. I.e. what to do with differing data files which have
    the same path in different ISOs.

    (Actually the names of the input ISOs can be quite arbitrary. The script expects a list of paths. I'm not sure whether anybody tested input names
    which are not single words.)


    Have a nice day :)

    very useful, thanks thomas
