I think we've wrestled with this issue as well. We're still working with Jessie console images from https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2018-02-01/console/, and they seem to be pretty stable, from the testing we've done to date.
I'm not yet sure and am still very curious about the test results/testing status of the images which are placed in the testing folder. I THINK what you need to do is look at the github revision/commit history for each component (e.g. uboot, debian, and kernel version) in a given image) to see why an image was updated (e.g. 2018-01-01 to 2018-02-10, but if there's a place which posts what the test results are (and a place for users to post their own experiences) for a given image, other than github, please let us know!! Question(s): For a given LXQT image, how much effort is involved in converting that "GUI" image to a console image? Can't you just remove all of the "extra packages" from the LXQT image until you have the desired console image per the following procedure, or is it more involved than that? Aren't the pinmuxes the same? 1) Spit out the debian package list for an existing console image (even the weekly image). 2) Spit out the debian package list for the released LXQT image (from the same desired major Debian revision as #1 (e.g. jessie, stretch) 3) Compare the package lists from 1,2. 4) Use apt remove on the released LXQT image to remove the "excess" packages in the LXQT image until it's package list matches the package list of the console image? Thanks!!
