Work together with Emanuele Rocca during MiniDebCamp Hamburg 2024
* rebuild: New command line option: --architecture
* installer: Enable the GTK installer
* bootloader: Set a default bootloader
* no qemu-binary in chroot
For bookworm, live-config does not contain the fix for #1037295
With the patched policykit file, many password prompts will not show up
any more, e.g. with Calamares
* source_tar: The order of the files in the tarball are now predictable.
This has been verified with 'disorderfs'
* rebuild.sh: The timestamp of the directory of theme.txt must also be
adjusted.
As noted in https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2023/08/msg00008.html,
the timestamp of theme.txt for bookworm images is not reproducible.
Additionally the splash image is now matching the resolution of the boot
menu, which makes it more crisp.
* The ISO volume is constructed similar to Debian 11
* The file .disk/info can be overridden
* The file .disk/info does not contain 'Official' per default
* Overrides that are required for live-setup are now explicit in
rebuild.sh
* New .disk/generator contains tracable information to the rebuild.sh
script
* The ISO volume is unique for each desktop environment
For reproducibly building live-images, it turns out that the initial
build does not necessarily have to use a snapshot server.
Within a time slot of 6 hours (the interval between synchronisations of
the Debian archive) the reproducibility of a live image can be checked
by running the rebuild.sh script twice. The resulting ISO files should
be identical.
