What's Daniel upto?! Should we use the official debian tools to build live cd? Or go with Daniels tools, if he's released them?

I'm co-ordinating from the perspective of live-wrapper, but the Debian Live team has a flat structure. Other packages have their respective leads and we are co-ordinating with each other via IRC currently. We will aim to be bringing updates to the mailing list and try to keep those not participating in the IRC chats up to date. live-build is more complex than necessary for the official Debian images. With that complexity comes higher chances of breakage, and we've seen breakage repeatedly. This is why we're producing the more "lightweight" live-wrapper. Having said this, the only reason that live-build is not currently seeing development is that it's not currently seeing development. It needs a technical lead, someone to have a vision and take it forward. If there is someone that is not currently a Debian Developer that would like to take lead for live-build, I would be happy to sponsor uploads, although I can't promise that they would happen in a timely fashion. Thanks, Iain. --
