• no go: Debian Installer Trixie RC 2 (2/2)

    From Chevelle@1:229/2 to Cyril Brulebois on Mon Jul 7 17:10:01 2025
    [continued from previous message]

    ============================

    * apt-setup:
    - Disable cdrom sources if installation medium is not a real CD (USB
    stick, SD card, ISO file), because APT cannot use it after the
    installation (#1102140, #1103650).
    - Allow preseeding extra options for the local sources.list lines.
    * busybox:
    - Remove wget applet (#1107392).
    * choose-mirror:
    - Update Mirrors.masterlist.
    * debian-cd:
    - Record which firmware packages are embedded in the modified initrds
    (#1106005).
    - Make sure systemd-cryptsetup is available (#1092977).
    * debian-installer:
    - Bump Linux kernel ABI to 6.12.33+deb13.
    - Fix Japanese rendering support, with many thanks to Kentaro HAYASHI:
    add fonts-motoya-l-cedar-udeb to gtk-common (#1037256).
    - Stop setting DPKG_UNPACK_OPTIONS = --force-overwrite (#1107392).
    - Improve support for speech synthesis, embedding some i915-related
    modules on amd64, for graphical targets.
    * grub-installer:
    - Set force-efi-extra-removable to "true" by default in some cases,
    which should help in cases where EFI firmware does not manage EFI
    boot variables properly.
    * partman-crypto:
    - Install systemd-cryptsetup alongside cryptsetup-initramfs. While
    the latter is sufficient if one picks guided partitioning with an
    encrypted LVM layout, other use cases might require the former,
    originally bundled together within systemd (#1092977).
    * rescue:
    - Add suport for rescuing btrfs systems installed via the Calamares
    installer found on Debian Live images.
    * rootskel-gtk:
    - Adapt installer banner image to the most recent iteration of the
    Ceratopsian theme.
    - Fix Japanese rendering support by switching from VL Gothic to
    MotoyaLCedar, also bumping font size (#1037256).
    * systemd-boot-installer:
    - Install shim-signed on amd64/arm64 to enable Secure Boot.


    Hardware support changes
    ========================

    * console-setup:
    - Add support for Apple MTP keyboard and Apple SPI Keyboard, as found
    on ARM-based Apple laptops like M1 MacBook Pro and M2 MacBook Air
    (#1108360).
    * linux:
    - [amd64] Add drivers/pinctrl/intel to kernel-image udeb (#1106658).

    * 78 languages are supported in this release.
