Bug#779616: debian-cd: broken debian-testing-$arch-netinst.iso generation?

[Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>]

Package: debian-cd
Severity: important

Hi,

it's been reported to me that debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso[1] was
broken, in that it features d-i using an “old” kernel (3.16.7-ckt4-3),
but kernel udebs apparently from sid, as can be seen in the list
file[2]: they're at version 3.16.7-ckt7-1.

 1. http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
 2. http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/list-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.list.gz

Given the kernel ABI hadn't been bumped, one might argue that the udebs
should still work and not break due to some unknown symbols, but that's
another topic. I really don't expect us to fetch bits from unstable in
testing images.


I find the doc in the parent directory[3] quite confusing anyway:
| These images are produced every week, normally on a Monday, but this may
| vary. They include:
|  * The latest debian-installer build (currently the "sid" daily builds of the installer) 

 3. http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/

It's either a daily build (from d-i.debian.org), or d-i from sid.

Mraw,
KiBi.
