Remove Debian appliance #827

Closed b-ehlers closed 8 months ago

b-ehlers commented 8 months ago

When trying the prepare the Debian 12.2 version I noticed, that all Debian-12 images don't work well.

The default cloud-init network configuration is unsuitable for GNS3. It always assumes a connected interface to a DHCP server on its first ethernet interface. I tried to fix that, but the cloud-init documentation is too confusing for me.

The packer images based on Debian (currently only bird2) are not affected, they are still working.

The packer scripts for Debian include not only bird2, but also a basic Debian. So instead of removing Debian I will use the packer based Debian starting with 12.2/11.8. I'm just waiting for the official cloud images for these versions.

So Debian will remain available, only it will not directly use the cloud image but a packer modified version of that.
