It was quite sad timing for us that this didn't make it into Debian/testing yet and we were just in the middle of our release process. :-/ We are re-doing the build process with the ifenslave bugfix right now. > There are multiple "source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*" lines in > /e/n/interfaces which I do not know if is a real issue of just cosmetic. Thanks for reporting this one, I noticed this one as well and reported it as https://github.com/grml/live-boot-grml/issues/11 and fixed this today already, so the stable release will include the fix. :) regards -mika-

grml-rescueboot
by Ryan Finnie 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Hi all, I'm the maintainer of Finnix, which recently released a new version after 5 years[0]. A user asked if I was planning on updating grub-finnix, a functional equivalent of grml-rescueboot. I'm going to cut out most of a conversation I had with Paul Wise since it was a bunch of embarrassing half-remembered history[1], but in a nutshell, grml-rescueboot is actually perfectly capable of setting up ISOs in grub via the loopback.cfg standard, which means that many distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Grml, Finnix, etc) can utilize it, but it's not immediately apparent, and it calls the generated menu entries Grml, but are otherwise functional. What I'd like to propose is to genericize grml-rescueboot as grub-loopback-iso. This package could be aware of distros (e.g. continue to say "Grml Rescue System" for grml-*.iso). I also have a few additional wanted updates, namely fixing the grub dependencies so it can be used on arm64 UEFI (which it also would otherwise work fine on). The grml-rescueboot package could remain and depend on grub-loopback-iso, as it has the update-grml-rescueboot script which *is* Grml-specific. If this is something we agree can be pursued, I'm willing to do the work (conceptually, https://github.com/finnix/grub-loopback-iso-pkg is about 80% of the work done already, but would need more work to be a proper transitional from grml-rescueboot). I just wanted to make sure this is something Grml is not opposed to. Thanks, Ryan Finnie [0] https://blog.finnix.org/2020/05/14/finnix-120-released/ [1] In 2014 I had apparently forked grml-rescueboot as grub-loopback-iso, but never got it into Debian. And at some point it was added as a grml-rescueboot git branch? (http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-rescueboot.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/grub-loo…) So it was known about and maybe was discussed at some point, but I honestly don't remember. I had updated my grub-loopback-iso and was looking for sponsors when Paul reminded me of grml-rescueboot again.

by Michael Prokop 15 Jun '20

Hi, long time no see, but here we are! The first release candidate of the upcoming Grml version 2020.06, code-named 'Ausgehfuahangl' is available. This Grml release provides fresh software packages from Debian testing (AKA bullseye). As usual it also incorporates current hardware support and fixes known bugs from the previous Grml release. For detailed information about the changes between 2018.12 and 2020.06-rc1 have a look at the official release announcement: https://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-2020.06-rc1/ You can download Grml 2020.06-rc1 from: https://grml.org/download/prerelease/ Please test the ISOs and everything you usually use and rely on, and report back so we can complete the stable release soon. If no major problems come up, the next iteration will be the stable release, which is scheduled for the end of June (2020 *cough* :)). Thanks to all our contributors! regards, -mika- - for the Grml.org project
