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. |
