Hi,

for several reasons, I have decided to fork casper to get things easier,
faster and different done than it was the case when having had the
casper-and-ubuntu relationship.

About a month ago, I therefore started working on that, uploaded it to
Debian and since about two weeks now, there is live-initramfs in Debian
unstable (see ChangeLog[0] for current changes).

Now that Marco also will work on live-initramfs, we decided to let
casper die in favour for live-initramfs. Therefore, the next upload of
live-initramfs to unstable will replace casper. Further changes to
casper in ubuntu will be resynced to live-initramfs, though.

>From the user point of view, there is not much changing: You can select
the initramfs generator in live-helper since version 1.0~a8-1. Just
switch LH_INITRAMFS from 'casper' to 'live-initramfs' and live-helper
will take care of the rest.

Note that if you build etch images, you need to include the backports
repository at http://live.debian.net/debian/ into your configuration in
order to be able to use live-initramfs.

Regards,
Daniel
