Hi Adrian,
I just updated the MR with the changes I discussed in my previous mail
(and also listed below). My previous mail also contained some responses
and questions, if you have some time to respond to those that would be
great.

Familiar sentiment. Would be nice to have it, though.

I'm not the maintainer of live-build, but given the freeze state that
buster is in, I highly doubt this will make it into buster.

Hi Adrian,

I wondered about this option and looked around the source for it, but
could not find any implementation for it, so it seemed good to remove
the documentation for it.
Prompted by your question, I
Hi Luca & others,
I've been working on syslinux-efi support in the past weeks and just
submitted a MR with a working implementation, along with some small
bootloader-related cleanups and refactors:

Hi folks,
this bug still exists. The original report talks about erronously
reusing the same debootstrap cache when chaning architectures, but the
problem seems broader than that. E.g. when switching distributions,

Hm, that's another interesting thought. I was aiming for syslinux, since

Hi folks,
currently, live-build seems to only support EFI systems using the
grub-efi bootloader, but not for netboot or hdd images (effectively only
for iso images, I believe).
Syslinux also has an EFI version, that can be installed thro

I won't really have time to dedicate to that, unfortunately. I'm happy

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Pass --partscan to losetup
Recent versions of Linux, parted or some other bit of software cause
partition devices, like /dev/loop0p1 to be created
ks more gracefully in any case.
I've tested with version 1:20170807 and 1:20170829, but marked this bug
as found in 1:20161202 since that is the first version that has the
above commit.

Hi,
this bug is marked as fixed in 5.0~a3, but I can't find the commit that
fixes it? Looking at the git master version, it seems this is still
broken as well?

Hi Piotr,
the behaviour you are seeing is not a bug, but the image types changed
recently. So instead of building an "usb-hdd" image, you should now
build an "hdd" image, which should work.
I guess this could go with some better user feedback, but considering
you're running an alpha version, some

I've been struggling with running Debian live inside virtualbox, which works

which improve the interaction with the virtualbox window and allow for
