Location, Date
- when: Thursday 5th to Friday 6th November 2015
where: MiniDebConfCambridge
Participants
- Lars Wirzenius
Agenda
- Fix squashfs support to create usable live images
- Identify matrix of tasksel packages and other useful packages
- Prepare scripting for current live images
- Extend to new architectures, including arm64.
- Start work on automated tests for vmdeboostrap and images it produces.
Summary
The sprint was exceptionally successful. The test suite addition has given us much needed evidence of reliability and the ability to avoid regressions as the code continues to develop. The documentation and squashfs support were completed and provided the basis for the replacement of live-build to create live images with the addition of UEFI support and multiple architecture support.
