[Trisquel-devel] New image build system

[Santiago Rodríguez]

Hi fellow trisquel developers

After tackling down the complexity of the package-helpers, and split them
up in a way that is easier for others to contribute, the next obvius step
for me was the makeiso script, responsible the trisquel cd images.

I hereby announce the creation of a new imag builder system for Trisquel,
avaliable at:

https://devel.trisquel.info/aklis/live-config

It's based on live-build, and it's not tied to any trisquel
infraestructure. The system is fully documented at http://live.debian.net

A new image built using this system is avaliable for testing at:

http://jenkins.trisquel.info/lb-images/0909-1834/

Also, you can run the builder yourself with:

 * apt-get install -y git live-build
 * git clone https://devel.trisquel.info/aklis/live-config.git
 * cd live-config && sudo lb build

Images are a bit rough, some of the bigger bugs you will find are:

  * Ubuntu background in syslinux
  * "Install trisquel" menu option doesn't work, and shows the desktop
  * The installer uses "Install Ubuntu" as it's name

But, quoting Linus, for the time being,  if it compiles, it is good; if it
boots up, it is perfect.

As usually, any questions/thoughs would be appreciated, and for more long
discussions, I'm usually avaliable in the #trisquel-dev irc channel at
freenode
