live-config Todo

regressions

Everything that worked with live-initramfs works with live-boot/live-config, except for the following things:

• temporarily no serial console support during booting. this will be added back in some time.
• the locale script temporarily doesn't automatically configures the keyboard when a 'short' locale is specified (like locales=de).

small

• factor out netbase (4.x).

medium

• live-debconfig:
  • integrate support for systemd
  • integrate support for upstart
  • disable udev
  • disable update-initramfs
• live-config-upstart:
  • reimplement based on the way https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/friendly-recovery/ interacts with upstart, see also https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/05/msg01288.html

bigger

• making plugins post- and pre- login processing
• verify modifications with a d-i sample installation.
• allow some scripts (most prominently locales) to be run even in persistent mode.
• use verbose/quiet/interactive modes for scripts.
• use logfile.
• enable display managers only if they are the selected one.
• when not using persistency, do not import options into the debconf db.
• cleanup the scripts order and splitting.
• check if we have the most important scripts for ubuntu so that live-config supports both.
