Description Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2017-09-15 08:38:23 CEST
univention-net-installer uses UCRV "repository/online/server" directly for "mirror/http/hostname", which no longer works as "https:// is included.
We should introduce a new UCRV variable to make it configurable and default to updates.software-univention.de once Bug #41305 is fixed.

If we do the later, "mirror/http/directory" must be updates as well as that path is not valid on u.s-u.de.

Similar to Bug #45190 TEMPLATE still references UCS-4.1-0 and needs updating.

FYI: auto=true with test-mode-install does not work with "debian-installer/locale=de_DE.UTF-8", as the text console is only 7-bit by default. On the hand USS breaks if "ISO-8859-1" is used, as than a comparison between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 fails. But "en_US.UTF-8" works and should be used as the default.

FYI: UCS-4.2 still uses preseed_1.66 from Debian-Jessie. Only with 1.69 does the kernel command line arguments have a higher priority than the initramfs-preseed.cfg. With UCS-4.2 the preseed.cfg was moved from the initramfs to the /cdrom (or must be supplied via url= in PXE mode).

univention-net-installer provides /var/lib/univention-client-boot/preseed/TEMPLATE -> /usr/share/doc/univention-net-installer/examples/TEMPLATE, but it is compressed and thus named TEMPLATE.gz and dangling.
