[Deb-imgs-gen-devel] Development

[Julian Andres Klode]

I am currently developing a similar program, called debimg.

The first version will work in the way dcdmake
[https://launchpad.net/dcdmake] works. It creates
one disc with installer and packages, and can also add preseed files.

I would like to continue the development of deb-imgs-gen, and merge
some parts with my own program.
I would prefer a decentralized VCS like Git or Bzr for this.

A few changes that would be made:
 - Remove as most task files as possible and calculate
   the lists during the build.
 - Use dependency resolver from python-apt
 - Recreate README files, to not need external program calls (cpp)

Goals:
 - No external program calls, except for genisoimage
 - Fast, Stable, Secure, Easy, Small

Future Stuff:
 - Graphical User Interface(s) / Web Interface

debimg has more configuration options, like multiple mirrors
with custom mirror definitions. I attached an example.
