I'd suggest looking at the live-build debian package (which is also available
in Ubuntu). It can build an iso/usb hybrid boot image (with optional
installer), supports a persistence file on USB, and doesn't seem to have a 4GB
limit on the squashfs root. Input is essentially a list of packages to install
and a set of files to overlay, so I don't think transitioning to it (or just
using whatever it does for the final step of building the image) would be too
hard.
If we went with USB only, the persistence file and squashfs root can be on
separate partitions from the FAT32 partition (although not on a DVD).

Hello Angelos,
gerat. Thanks for starting the build cycle.
The blocker is a real blocker, but there should be a solution :)

Hi all,
I did a first test today to build a nightly iso from the Lubuntu 22.04 beta
image that is available online:
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/22.04/beta/
My working tree right now is:
https://github.com/kalxas/OSGeoLive/tree/jammy
The build failed but not in a spectacular way.
I will post more updates when available.
Best,
Angelos

Are you interested in joining our Open Source GIS experience? The build cycle
for the next OSGeoLive release 15.0, is going to start. Version 15.0 will use
Lubuntu 22.4 [1] The final version is planned to be ready in August 2022. Have
a look at our schedule for the detailed steps [2].
Till then we have many challenges - from simple to challenging, to help
describe and train people in the value of Open Source GIS.
For this release, we hope to help OSGeo Community projects join OSGeoLive, and
work out how we can keep within our size constraints.
You are welcome to join our team!
Are you a programmer or packager with experience in one of the Open Source GIS
applications? Are you a technical writer interested in making FOSS4G accessible
to all? Are you interested in helping update translations to latest documents
on Transifex [3] [4]?
Tech writers from The Good Docs Project [5] have offered to write or update
quickstarts for us. If you'd like your quickstart updated, then reach out to us.
