Secondo candidato per i rilasci dell'installatore Debian 10 «Buster»

È disponibile second release candidate installer della prossima importante release di Debian 10 «Buster». Attualmente si contano 75 errors critical to the release, blocking it (there were 98 two weeks ago and 132 a month and a half ago). The Testing branch has been put in a state of complete freeze from changes, with exceptions made only for emergency interventions. Final release of Debian 10 si prevede 6 luglio.

Rispetto a previous the test release of the installer includes the following changes:

• A section has been added in cryptsetup titled 'Unlocking LUKS devices from GRUB', indicating guida about configuring the unlock of the partition at the GRUB level;
• The debian-archive-keyring has added the release verification keys for Buster;
• A working image has been prepared that fits on a 16 GB USB Flash. The package selection process has been optimized to fit multi-arch firmware in a 700 megabyte image, from which the PAE kernel for i686 has been excluded;
• The haveged-udeb package has been added to address issues with insufficient quality of the pseudo-random number generator's entropy;
• The Dark theme has been renamed to Accessible high contrast;
• For the amd64 architecture, support for verified boot (UEFI Secure Boot) has been added. To ensure the operation of Secure Boot, the Shim bootloader is used, signed with a digital signature from Microsoft (shim-signed), alongside the signing of the kernel and grub loader (grub-efi-amd64-signed) with the project's own certificate (shim serves as a layer for the distribution to use its own keys). The shim-signed and grub-efi-ARCH-signed packages have been included in the build dependencies for amd64, i386, and arm64. The bootloader and grub, signed with a working certificate, are included in the EFI images for amd64, i386, and arm64;
• Support for network-bootable (netboot) images for SD cards has been added;
• Added u-boot images for a64-olinuxino, orangepi_zero_plus2
  and teres_i. Support for NanoPi NEO2 and Marvell 8040 MACCHIATOBin has been added;
• All drivers for supporting hardware random number generators have been added to the kernel package (kernel-image), and all keyboard drivers have been added to the input-modules package.
