Hello Debian CD team! My request is to have a permanent link to the latest Debian stable ISO image on the debian-cd repository. We have a "current" folder on "https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/", but the ISO images in the iso-cd, iso-dvd and iso-bd folders have the version identifier (currently 12.6.0) and will be replaced by newer ones in the next point release (12.7.0). This makes a little difficult to get the latest Debian stable ISO image in an automated fashion. Can we have a symlink like one of the following: > https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-12-latest-amd64-netinst.iso > https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-stable-latest-amd64-netinst.iso Pointing to the latest release of the Debian stable CD ISO image? > https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-12.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso Also, something similar for the DVD release would be appreciated, a symlink like one of the following: > https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-12-latest-amd64-DVD-1.iso > https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-stable-latest-amd64-DVD-1.iso Pointing to the latest DVD ISO image: > https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-12.6.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso Maybe we would need to have a similar one for the BD ISO release as well. > https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-bd/ I like to think of this as the "latest" tag in the container images. > https://hub.docker.com/_/debian/ I can always run a container with the the _latest_ Debian stable release by using the "latest" tag: > $ docker run -it docker.io/debian:latest > root@1a2b3c4d5e6f:/# cat /etc/debian_version > 12.6 Thanks in advance! PS: I am touching the same topic that was seen in the mailing list [1] (Sep 2008) and on the forums [2] (Oct 2020). > [1]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2008/09/msg00037.html > [2]: https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=147672 -- Andrés Hernández
