Taks one completed, multiple to go...
Hi,
this message is just intended for those who didn't know already.
Independently of wherever we are going to use casper or not, squashfs
and unionfs are needed anyway. It it important to have those modules
built out-of-tree (this means: as a separate module package), so we can
just install an additional package and are not condemned to rebuild the
hole kernel-tree ourself: this avoids useless use of ressources and
allows to use the official debian kernel-images instead of using our own
(which is considered as bad, see live.debian.net/wiki/WhyDebianLive).
The packages are made well and tested on alpha, amd64, i386, powerpc,
and sparc within the last week. Atm they are available at
live.debian.net/debian and just waiting for a sponsor to be uploaded to
debian (first experimental to see if it builds well on arm/mips).
Now, that the kernel parts are done, we can now fully focus on creating
the framework scripts and look at casper..
