First of all, great job and thank you, Debian team! Debian 10.2 seems to be available in a few weeks.
On the other hand, it's pity we cannot release our "buster" version guide. We almost reach there, but need more tests on actual machines.
- Unfortunately, our resource is tight now and cannot "clean install" using various amd64 generations.
- In addition to that, UEFI Secure Boot related behavior confuse us.
- Case #1: Kaby Lake/Z270 seems fine at a glance.
- GPT, ESP, Secure Boot certs are okay, but no kernel lock down.
- Case #2: Skylake/H110 seems odd (plain buster install).
- GPT, no-ESP, Secure Boot lacks motherboard cert, no kernel lock down.
- Case #3: same machine above (with installed SSD by other machine).
- GPT, ESP. BIOS cannot detect it bootable. BIOS override required.
- Secure Boot is enabled without M/B cert. Kernel is locked down.
- Case #1: Kaby Lake/Z270 seems fine at a glance.
- Managing different editions of guides is becoming a problem for us.
- Updates on the top page already confuse you, too, we guess.
- So, we will "freeze" those stretch guides (1st and 2nd) soon.
- We may separate some common sections in the future.
- Ideally, single guides with some explanation articles sounds good (our guides are no longer "short").
After 10.2 release, we will re-check, then we may be able to publish "buster edition".
Thanks for reading. Have a nice week.
