From the Debian -perspective most of them have one or more of the following disadvantages: - -_* They are not Debian projects and therefore lack support from within -Debian. - -_* They mix different distributions, e.g. *{testing}* and *{unstable}*. - -_* They support i386 only. - -_* They modify the behaviour and/or appearance of packages by stripping them -down to save space. - -_* They include packages from outside of the Debian archive. - -_* They ship custom kernels with additional patches that are not part of -Debian. - -_* They are large and slow due to their sheer size and thus not suitable for -rescue issues. - -_* They are not available in different flavours, e.g. CDs, DVDs, USB-stick -and netboot images. - -3~ Why create our own live system? - -Debian is the Universal Operating System: Debian has a live system to show -around and to accurately represent the Debian system with the following main -advantages: - -_* It is a subproject of Debian. - -_* It reflects the (current) state of one distribution. - -_* It runs on as many architectures as possible. - -_* It consists of unchanged Debian packages only. - -_* It does not contain any packages that are not in the Debian archive. - -_* It uses an unaltered Debian kernel with no additional patches. - -2~ Philosophy - -3~ Only unchanged packages from Debian "main" - -We will only use packages from the Debian repository in the "main" -section. The non-free section is not part of Debian and therefore cannot be -used for official live system images. - -We will not change any packages. Whenever we need to change something, we -will do that in coordination with its package maintainer in Debian. - -As an exception, our own packages such as live-boot, live-build or -live-config may temporarily be used from our own repository for development -reasons (e.g. to create development snapshots). They will be uploaded to -Debian on a regular basis. - -3~ No package configuration of the live system - -In this phase we will not ship or install sample or alternative -configurations. All packages are used in their default configuration as they -are after a regular installation of Debian. - -Whenever we need a different default configuration, we will do that in -coordination with its package maintainer in Debian. - -A system for configuring packages is provided using debconf allowing custom -configured packages to be installed in your custom produced live system -images, but for the {prebuilt live images}#downloading-prebuilt-images we -choose to leave packages in their default configuration, unless absolutely -necessary in order to work in the live environment. Wherever possible, we -prefer to adapt packages within the Debian archive to work better in a live -system versus making changes to the live toolchain or {prebuilt image -configurations}#clone-configuration-via-git. For more information, please -see {Customization overview}#customization-overview. - -2~contact Contact - -_* *{Mailing list}*: The primary contact for the project is the mailing list -at https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/. You can email the list directly by -addressing your mail to debian-live@lists.debian.org. The list archives are -available at https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/. - -_* *{IRC}*: A number of users and developers are present in the #debian-live -channel on irc.debian.org (OFTC). When asking a question on IRC, please be -patient for an answer. If no answer is forthcoming, please email the mailing -list. - -_* *{BTS}*: The {Debian Bug Tracking System}https://www.debian.org/Bugs/ -(BTS) contains details of bugs reported by users and developers. Each bug is -given a number, and is kept on file until it is marked as having been dealt -with. For more information, please see {Reporting bugs}#bugs. |
