Debian Images Team,
Sizes of netinst images with and without firmware:
375 MiB firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
334 MiB debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
-------
41 MiB difference
Sizes of Live Standard images with and without firmware:
1285 MiB debian-live-testing-amd64-standard+nonfree.iso
824 MiB debian-live-testing-amd64-standard.iso
--------
461 MiB difference
debian-cd generates netinst images:
* Only includes firmware|microcode packages that contain files
in /lib/firmware
* https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian-cd/blob/master/t
ols/generate_firmware_task
* https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian-cd/blob/master/t
ols/make-firmware-image
live-setup generates Live images:
* Includes *all* firmware|microcode main|non-free packages
* Also includes their massive dependencies
* https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/live-setup/blob/master/
vailable/run-30live-wrapper
I can think of three fixes for live-setup:
1) Have live-setup use the firmware task generated by debian-cd
2) Copy make-firmware-image to live-setup for use there
3) Patch live-setup run-30live-wrapper with the **untested** patch below
By the way, this bug report supercedes my earlier #929790:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=929790
Thank you!
