Package name : v-i Version : 0.4 Upstream Contact: Lars Wirzenius <l...@liw.fi> URL : https://gitlab.com/larswirzenius/v-i License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Python, YAML Description : An alternative Debian installer using vmdb2 and ansible v-i installs a very basic Debian onto a PC. It's entirely non-interactive and unhelpful. The author wrote it so that repeated installations would be less of a chore than using the official Debian installer. v-i uses vmdb2 to install onto bare metal hardware. vmdb2 is a program to create a disk image virtual machines with Debian, by the same author. It "installs Debian" to a file representing a hard drive. It's basically debootstrap, except the target is a disk image instead of a directory. It's used to create Debian images for Raspberry Pis. I'd like to package this as part of the installer-team, but I haven't yet asked their permission or had any grace from them.
