• Bug#1017555: Let's drop win32-loader from amd64/i386 and multiarch CDs

    From Didier 'OdyX' Raboud@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 17 21:20:01 2022
    Package: debian-cd
    Version: 3.1.35
    Severity: normal
    Tags: d-i
    X-Debbugs-Cc: win32-loader@packages.debian.org

    Following the recent discussion on d-boot [1], it seems we agreed to drop win32-loader from the Debian CDs, as it's not likely to be very useful these days.

    win32-loader seems also present on debian-installer [2], I'll therefore clone the bug.

    As for the win32-loader package, its network version [3] is still probably useful, and doesn't take much space on mirrors; let's keep it.

    Best,
    OdyX
