I'm a user and a tester, not a dev, and I know nothing (and don't want to know anything) about the personal politics between Debian developers. So that's all I'll say on that subject.
To Steve's original point: First, a big THANK YOU! to Steve for taking this job on. I, for one, an grateful. I use Debian a lot, but I'm only an occasional user of the Debian Live images. But when I need them, I need them. And when I need them, I want them to just work. If having them there and working when I need them means I have to add them to my list of things to test and report on, I'm willing to make that investment. Please add me to your "testers" list. Thank you, Rick PS: On a related topic: What I think would be really cool, would be Debian Live images for some of the ARM architectures. Something I could dd to a USB stick and boot right away when I get a new box in for testing. Even cooler would be the ability to use that self-same live image to install Debian after the testing phase was over. > On 27 June 2017 at 00:08, Steve McIntyre <st...@einval.com> wrote: > >> [ Note the cross-posting... ] >> >> >> If our live images are going to be good enough to meet the standards >> that Debian users deserve and expect, we need *consistent*, >> *sustained* involvement from a lot more people.
