I decided to resolve this third issue by committing the relevant change.
As a result, I touched the PXE/Athena10 installer code in SVN but am not
prepared to test it. The PXE relevant change is the rename described
below. The changes that I believe you need to do to get a working merged
installer are:
(1) deploy the new archive keyring (available in
/mit/debathena/apt/debathena-archive-keyring.asc) to the Athena 10 apt
repository's root.
(2) deploy the new installer code as install-debathena.sh in the installer
place.
(3) deploy the new PXE code
(4) Update athena10.mit.edu (etc.) to change references to
install-athena10.sh to install-debathena.sh.
Let me know if you have any problems deploying this.
Once this is done, the only differences will be the necessary
s/athena10.mit.edu/debathena.mit.edu/ and s/beta//, which we can do once
we transition the debathena.mit.edu website.
