Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: grml-rescueboot@packages.debian.org, team@grml.org
Control: affects -1 + src:grml-rescueboot

[ Reason ]
grml-rescueboot can download Grml ISOs from the Internet.

The recent Grml 2024.12 release has a) changed the architectures
supported from i386,amd64 to amd64,arm64 and b) changed the names
of the ISOs.

grml-rescueboot, as a result, broke, as reported in #1091702.

[ Impact ]

This updates the regexes used to find the current release version, and
drops support for selecting which architecture to download for, and
updates the architecture support to amd64,arm64 from i386,amd64. The
package itself is Arch: all so from the package side it doesn't change anything.

There is a NEWS entry notifying users that there is no i386 support
anymore. Runniong update-grml-rescueboot on i386 will result in a
failure like this:

ERROR: Unsupported architecture 'i686'.

[ Tests ]

mika@ did a manual test on amd64.

[ Risks ]

It's a normal-complexity shellscript. Worst case users need to continue
using the ISO they already have.

i386 support being dropped is an impact.

[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]

Again, this does:
- in update-grml-rescueboot change supported archs from i386,amd64 to
amd64,arm64
- drops -a flag (used to select architecture "bit width", ie 32/64
previously)
- updates the expected ISO names and regexes
- add NEWS entry about end of i386 support

[ Other info ]

Can't think of anything.
