Thanks for merging the changes.
I've taken Roland's updated patches and tweaked a little more in the
setup.git and live-setup.git repos, and we now have live builds
integrated. Changes I've added:
* turned on source tarball generation using LB_SOURCE=true, and
disable the external source build that we did for the older
live-wrapper builds
That's a good way to enable the source tarballs. I haven't looked at that part of live-build for a while, so the source tarball might need some love.
* when building on casulana, warn about archive updates rather than
restarting builds
* don't attempt to build i386 live images any more, they're not useful
* tweaked logging
And an additional change to use the installer images from the repository instead of rebuilding them from git [1].
That change is now causing the missing kernel modules for d-i.I've rebuilding the installer images from git, after the discussion in #1006800 [2], to save the d-i team from doing an upload for every single kernel bump, while bookworm was not yet in freeze. (That is a recurring issue for every release [3])
So, *builds* work fine but I've not *yet* tested actually booting/using one of these images in any way. I've just triggered a full build of "testing" live images now, please help test if you can once they're in place at [2] in a couple of hours from now.
> [2] https://get.debian.org/images/weekly-live-builds/ In openQA [4] the live images that were generated by Jenkins [5]have been tested for a while now. Now we can switch and use these new images instead of the images from Jenkins. Since both images are generated by the same script, I wouldn't expect many issues.
I don't yet know how close we are to having full non-free-firmware integration with the live images; I expect there might be some more work needed there yet, but I'd love to be proven wrong. :-)
This weekend I've written the missing parts, non-free-firmware images are now generated by default by live-build, and the ISO images are still bit-for-bit reproducible.
