The next release of debimg (0.0.3) will be the first release supporting splitting packages over multiple disks. I worked a lot on the base technology today, and the basics are working. In order to get support for disk splitting, I introduce three new classes: Media, MediaSet and MediaSetCollection (all in libdebimg.media). The Media class is responsible for adding files to an image (incl. copying/linking), generating extra files (like MD5SUMS or documentation) and for building the image. It knows the space which is free, the size of each file and the md5sum of each file. It also writes all data inside dists/ ... Read more 》

debimg 0.0.2 has a new high speed dependency resolver and support for local repositories. With these new features, debimg is now able to produce netinst images in less than 4 seconds. BTW, you can easily build your own disk. Simply unpack the tarball, change the mirror to your one, and run ./debimg debimg.cfg. This should give you an i386 netinst disk.

debimg’s cdimage is now online at http://jak-linux.org/cdimage/, and contains daily-builds of Debian testing netinst disks for i386 and amd64 architectures. debimg is a new software which aims to replace debian-cd. No code has been released yet, but will be in the next days. Please note that I can only provide jigdo images, because of bandwith and storage. I will soon add build logs, and files listing the differences compared to original netinst images. I will also add support for more architectures. ... Read more 》

I’m currently working on a rewrite of debian-cd in Python. Although there is already deb-imgs-gen, I decided to start from scratch, because deb-imgs-gen is more than 1 year old. debimg’s main features are Speed debimg should be able to build netinst disks in less than 20 seconds Free Software This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ...
