Installing IIAB 6.7/master (http://d.iiab.io/6.7) on Debian 10 "Buster" pre-releases can work! With these 3+2 known caveats:

  • Ensure the line VERSION_ID="10" (or VERSION_ID="10.0") exists in /etc/os-release. This allows iiab-install to run /opt/iiab/iiab/scripts/local_facts.fact -> /etc/ansible/facts.d/local_facts.fact properly, setting OS_VER to "debian-10" so we're ready for Debian 10's pre-releases in coming months. (Final releases will contain a similar such line by/around mid-2019.)
  • The 3 lines in /usr/bin/iiab-refresh-wiki-docs that use lynx to download from github.com (for http://box/info documentation) need to be commented out for now — mysteriously GitHub is blocking all connections from lynx on Debian 10, even when lynx issues exactly the same headers as from Ubuntu/Raspbian or Debian 9! Possibly this is a subtle SSL/TLS problem, even when lynx claims to be using the same SSL as on the other distros?!
  • "Stop ejabberd service" froze during ejabberd's install (when installing BIG-sized IIAB) so systemctl stop ejabberd had to be run manually. Installation then continued on its own: relaunching IIAB's install with sudo iiab was not even nec this time!

This/these issue(s) below appear more serious?
