Salam, @Abdelmonam & @Ahmed (I'll answer the two mails :D )
Ah! I forgot to mention that the build *failed* :D :D (have no idea why am happy to announce that xD ) It was because of the 3 Sabily debs from the PPA.. As I said in the mail, we should upload new debs.. Yes many debs are from Ubuntu repositories or maybe have their own PPAs, so I believe that it's a waste of time to add them to our PPA, if we should work on them we should contribute to those projects. The PPA should contain only the debs that are specific to Sabily.. If you check the old version you'll find some sabily*.deb that's what I am talking about, I didn't had spare time to try update them.. About maintaining the ISO building, I'll help creating the process, what I want really to do is to automate it, centralize every thing on LP code, than will delegate some people for the builds.. This way if I'm no longer available any one else can still build ISOs.. No idea if someone reviewed the PPA, never worked on that.. And for now I think only about the ISO building, have n idea if there is something else to automate. I'll share my ISO as soon as I generate a one with Sabily colors.. After that I'll convert the UCK scripts to Customizer hook..
