There is an explicit reason for this. vmdebootstrap is being extended explicitly to provide support for a replacement for live-build. This work is happening within the debian-cd team to be able to solve the existing problems with live-build. These problems include reliability issues, lack of multiple architecture support and lack of UEFI support. vmdebootstrap has all of these, we do use support from live-boot and live-config as these are out of the scope for vmdebootstrap. It is also helpful that live-build-ng is written in python. > I'm sure you can come up with a suitable namespace on your own, e.g. > vmdebootstrap-live and vmdebootstrap-live-support or something like > that). The objective is that debian-cd builds official Debian Live images without using live-build, using vmdebootstrap live support and live-build-ng instead. This work began at Debconf15 and has been extended in the vmdebootstrap sprint at the miniDebConfUK. Iain demonstrated a working Live image with UEFI built using vmdebootstrap and the work is set to continue. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
