This time with d-boot in CC... Forwarding to debian-boot, as requested from Cyril.
Debian-Boot people, please take a look at #650601 -- the libpng16 transition which is now ready to be started. There are a few udebs affected, which is tested as described below (following a request from Cyril). IMHO also the udeb part is ready for the transition, but I'm not in the d-i topics. -- tobi On Tue, 26 Jan 2016 22:05:22 +0100 Tobias Frost <t...@debian.org> wrote: > Hallo KiBi, > > On Tue, 26 Jan 2016 10:51:11 +0100 Cyril Brulebois <k...@debian.org> > wrote: > > > Has anyone tested a debian installer build where some packages were > > built against libpng12-0-udeb and some other against libpng16-16- > udeb? > > Does that work?
