Hi,

do we already know if the pre deb822 format will be supported in Forky?

Unfortunately we can't easily switch to deb822 as this needs quite some
changes to the sources.list handling in isar.

At this point in time I would say yes.

Hi, the issue is much deeper - the default(no extra config) of
mmdepstrap ( mmdebstrap sid test-sid.tar.zst) is still pre deb822
format. It supports the new format.


debootstrap (sudo debootstrap sid test-sid http://deb.debian.org/debian )
also uses by default the pre-822 format
(https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debootstrap/-/blob/master/functions?ref_type=heads#L1196).

This adds the necessary files to add Debian 14 to ISAR. As Debian 14

As around one year away we should start testing to ensure continuing
support.

This uses the single line format as it still supported. The deb822 is
preferred but not mandatory.

Currently mmdebstrap uses single line as default and supports the deb822
format.

debootstrap does not support as of now deb822.

My current suggestion would be to seperate the deb822 support from a
specific distro.

Also debian buster supports deb822. So all supported distros should
support the deb822.

Changes v2:
- rebase onto next
- fix typo in commit subject

Quirin Gylstorff (2):
Add Debian 14 (Forky) option
Use virtual package dcpd-client in Debian 14(Forky)


Quirin Gylstorff (2):
Add Debian 14 (Forky) option

Use virtual package dhcp-client in Debian 14(Forky)
