Thanks to my kids - they are the reason to get motivated to work
on it :)

\o/ perfekt. Currently, there are two different "projects" to
build a Debian Junior Live image.

I started with a small project using live-build. This project
will be marked as deprecated soon.
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-jr-team/debian-junior-live-system

The "new / real" way to build a Debian Live Image is different.

I have created a new package called junior-desktop which is part
of Debian Junior's Pure Blend. This package is the "Debian Junior
Desktop".
https://packages.debian.org/trixie/junior-desktop

This package has been included into the live-tasks package. Which
is used to Build Debian's live images:
https://packages.debian.org/trixie/live-task-debian-junior

This is one important thing for me: Debian Junior is and will be
Debian. Everything should be included into a Debian Packages and
shall follow Debian's processes.

Welcome on board!

Not yet, I hope soon.

I agree. Few weeks back, I asked to get Debian Junior into
Debian's live image build. Roland helped to get the build done
and I was able to build and test the image.

Now, it would be nice to get Debian Junior into the weekly build.
See mails ;-)

I think this will be a very important milestone for the project,
because it will get more visibility.

When the weekly build is done, I think I need to work on Debian
Junior specific configuration files. Starting with configuration
for IceWM, Debian Junior's Window Manager.
