  The Debian Installer team[1] is pleased to announce the second alpha release
  of the installer for Debian 12 "Bookworm".
  
  Following the 2022 General Resolution about non-free firmware[2], many
  packages containing firmware files that can be requested by the Linux kernel
  at runtime were moved from non-free to non-free-firmware, making them
  eligible for inclusion on official media per the updated Social Contract #5.
  
  Starting with this release, official images include firmware packages from
  main and non-free-firmware, along with metadata to configure the installed
  system accordingly. Our installation guide has been updated accordingly[3].
  
  
  Improvements in this release
  ============================
  
  * apt-setup:
  - Add an apt-setup/non-free-firmware template, similar to the non-free
  and contrib ones, used by 50mirror to enable the non-free-firmware
  component: expert install only, disabled by default, but automatically
  set when non-free firmware packages are installed.
  - Factorize component handling across Debian generators, and add
  support for non-free-firmware to all of them.
  - Avoid leaving duplicate cdrom: entries in comments at the end of the
  installation 1029922.
  * base-installer:
  - Ignore multi-arch qualifier 1020426.
  * cdebconf:
  - text: During progression, provide user feedback at least every
  minute.
  - newt: Align more items on top-left in braille mode.
  * debian-cd:
  - Refresh modalias information for firmware-sof-signed.
  - Extend generated firmware metadata with component information.
  - Include firmware packages based on the configured components (e.g.
  main and non-free-firmware for official builds[/bug].
  - Bump maximal image size to 1G for netinst CD images: 650 MB is no
  longer enough, but current images are still below 700 MB.
  - Implement a more robust installer lookup when booting from grub-efi,
  using .disk/id/$UUID instead of .disk/info [bug]1024346, #1024720[/bug].
  - All amd64 installation images will now boot on amd64 machines using
  32-bit UEFI firwmare. Users no longer need the multi-arch installer
  for those machines.
  - Stop building multi-arch images accordingly.
  - Delete support for win32-loader, which is no longer maintained.
  * debian-installer:
  - Switch to using bookworm artwork for the splash screens (Emerald[/bug].
  - Fix missing glyphs for Georgian 1017435.
  - Bump Linux kernel ABI to 6.1.0-3.
  * debootstrap:
  - Add specific handling for the usr-is-merged package.
  * espeakup:
  - Set speakup_soft direct parameter to 1 in the installed system for
  non-English language, to fix the pronunciation of symbols and
  numbers.
  - Avoid warning about missing mbrola voices.
  - Run espeakup in a loop, to compensate for crashes.
  * grub-installer:
  - Fix missing debconf module integration.
  * grub2:
  - Add commented-out GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER section to /etc/default/grub
  to make it easier for users to turn os-prober back on if they want
  it 1013797, 1009336.
  * hw-detect:
  - Add support for Contents-firmware indices to speed up firmware
  lookup (from requested files to available packages[/bug], keeping the
  manual lookup as a fallback.
  - Add support for component detection, enabling apt-setup/$component
  automatically.
  - Resolve “usb” module into the underlying module when it requests
  firmware files (e.g. rtl8192cu for a RTL8188CUS USB Wi-Fi dongle[/bug],
  to reload the right module after deploying the relevant firmware
  package.
  - Delete support for loading udeb firmware packages (*.udeb, *.ude[/bug].
  - Note: Use cases regarding loading firmware from external storage
  remain to be clarified 1029543. With firmware packages being
  included on official images, this is expected to be much less useful
  than it was.
  - Skip the historical link up/link down dance on some network
  interfaces: while it's useful to ensure modules request firmware
  files they might require, it's actively harmful if the interface has
  been configured (e.g. manually or via preseed[/bug]: the link is up and/or
  it's involved in a bond.
  - Implement support for the hw-detect/firmware-lookup=never setting
  1029848.
  * libdebian-installer:
  - Ignore multiarch qualifier suffix 1020783.
  * localechooser:
  - Enable Vietnamese in non-bogl console.
  * ifupdown:
  - Fix missing /etc/network/interfaces configuration for wireless
  connections when NetworkManager isn't installed, changing its mode
  to 600 for secure connections since it ends up containing secrets
  1029352, first issue.
  - Adjust /etc/network/interfaces configuration for wireless connections
  with both DHCP and SLAAC: only write a DHCP stanza and let RAs do the
  rest at runtime 1029352, second issue.
  * preseed:
  - Add “firmware” alias for “hw-detect/firmware-lookup” 1029848.
  * rootskel:
  - reopen-console-linux: When speakup is requested, prefer tty1 which
  is the only console that speakup can read.
  * rootskel-gtk:
  - Update artwork with the Emerald theme.
  * user-setup:
  - Remove support for unshadowed passwords.
  
  
  Hardware support changes
  ========================
  
  * debian-installer:
  - [amd64, arm64] Build netboot images for ChromeOS devices. More
  changes are required for these images to be useful.
  * grub2:
  - Add smbios to the signed grub efi images 1008106.
  - Add serial to the signed grub efi images 1013962.
  - Don't strip Xen binaries so they work again 1017944.
  - Enable EFI zboot support on arm64 1026092.
  - Ignore some new ext2 flags to stay compatible with latest mke2fs
  defaults 1030846.
  * linux:
  - udeb: Move ledtrig-audio from sound-modules to kernel-image
  - udeb: Also add drivers in subdirectories of drivers/net/phy
  - [arm64] Add nvmem-imx-ocotp driver to kernel-image udeb
  - [arm64] Add imx2_wdt driver to kernel-image udeb
  - [arm64] Add i2c-imx to i2c-modules udeb

Kam bei mir grad via apticron rein - kann wohl nicht mehr lange dauern, bis bookworm nun stable ist oder wie seht ihr das?

Code: Alles auswählen

--- Änderungen für base-files ---
base-files (12.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Release candidate for bookworm as stable:
  - Use "12" as version in /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net.
    (never expected to change after release)
  - Use 12.0 as version in /etc/debian_version.
    (expected to change at every point release)
  - Change PRETTY_NAME in /usr/lib/os-release, adding 12 as version number
    and "(bookworm)" as codename. Add also VERSION_ID and VERSION.
    (never expected to change)
  - Variable VERSION_CODENAME was already defined as "bookworm".
  - Update README (bookworm -> trixie).
  * Refresh GFDL-1.2, GFDL-1.3, GPL-3, LGPL-2 and LGPL-3 from their
    canonical place at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses/ as they have
    minor editorial changes like trimming spaces, https, etc.
  * Drop debian/current-md5sums-obsolete. Closes: #1009358.
  * Ship a real debian/copyright file in source package instead of
    generating it at build time.
  * Call dh_installchangelogs using --no-trim option.
    Add versioned build-dependency on debhelper for the above.
  * Update lintian-overrides to new format.
  * Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets.
  * Update standards version to 4.6.2.

Dein Beitrag hat aber nichts mit dem Installer zu tun. Das ist eine eigene Entwicklergruppe.
Vielleicht kann KBDCALLS oder ein anderer Mod das ja verschieben.

Ups ja hab im Eifer des Gefechts nur Debian Bookworm wahrgenommen
