rrqbandali: as you may have seen, the installer-iso build pipeline (for amd64) is renovated. Now the focus is on the actual upkeep of the installer software, i.e. the "udeb" packages. Plus of course any revision required to the installer-iso software itself.01:25
rrqas refresher: the installer-iso software builds a "devuan installer" application, which in large is the same as the debian-installer but with some patched udebs.01:29
rrqthe building software is different from that of the debian-installer package, but the resulting appplication can be said to be "the same in priniciple" with certain details different, like the dialog texts and the selection of udebs in use.01:31
rrqplus that the devuan installer has a "preamble" that came about with an aim to handle Ventoy's setup (where installer media is an image file rather than partition)01:34
rrqdevuan's installer further uses only syslinux/isolinux for bootloading with a single bootloader menu system which also presents differently from debian installer01:39
rrqbtw anyone may contribute by trialling the freshly made excalibur installer-iso isos and lodge reports about their misbehaviour01:42
