    Hi Roland,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Hi,

    I saw in the PTS that an unblock was granted. Please block linux-image 6.12.29 again and wait for the pending upload instead.

    Should the priority be raised to the next level above 'Important'?

    Pro/Con:
    + With 6.12.29 additional security fixes get in
    - With 6.12.29 all live images will cease to boot to live mode

    I see your point and having though the ITS mitigations in my opinion
    is more important. But stepping a bit back I fully understand as well
    your point of view.

    Cyril and Debian boot people, would you actually want to not get
    6.12.29-1 into trixie?

    FWIW, the next upload *will* include a fix for the loop issue. I have
    already imported 6.12.30 for the packaging and marked the loop fix as
    to be backported to 6.12.

    Regards,
    Salvatore

    Hi,

    To be honest, I almost asked what the plans were for 6.12.29-1 regarding
    this issue, and whether Severity: important was appropriate. But I got
    busy with other things and let this fly…

    Regarding the installer itself, I'm fine with either having .29 then .30
    or just waiting for .30. I definitely can see how live people might want
    to avoid a known broken kernel's reaching testing though.

    FWIW, the next upload *will* include a fix for the loop issue. I have

    Great news!

    FWIW, the next upload *will* include a fix for the loop issue. I have already imported 6.12.30 for the packaging and marked the loop fix as
    to be backported to 6.12.

    If 6.12.30 is nearly ready to be uploaded, I would propose to skip 6.12.29 and have 6.12.30 in (perhaps even faster than with a 10 day delay)

    If we were to have 6.12.29, the live images based on trixie will be untestable and we would fly blind regarding trixie until 6.12.30 lands
    there. We are currently unable to test the live images based on sid, which
    is already a bit uncomfortable to me, I have even considered writing a hack to use the trixie kernel instead.

    So 6.12.27 in trixie and 6.12.30 in sid seems the better option to me.

    While I think the ITS mitigations would be important, I do not want to
    have your life harder working on the life images. Let's raise the
    severity of this bug to RC and it will be fixed with the next upload
    to unstable.

    Regards,
    Salvatore
