First of all, to clarify, "Live Build has been discontinued" is not yet reality. It is slated to be replace as the software to build official Debian Live CDs, but that doesn't mean that the software suddenly ceases to exist. It will continue to be supported here the best we can, as I've written about here before. In my opinion, this is also the right list to support live-wrapper. It is written here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/ Discussion and maintenance of the Debian Live systems Development of the Debian Live systems (i.e. live cds). The list is run by the Debian project for the purpose of supporting the development and maintenance of "the Debian Live systems". That is not clearly defined, but by the use of the definite article "the", some specific software is implied. Since live-build is the specific software that the current Debian Live CDs is built with, and live-wrapper is the specific software that the Debian CD team intends to use to replace it, it is a reasonable interpretation of "the Debian Live systems" as being systems that are built with either software, the old and the new. > If you want to message the Live Wrapper group I suggest you contact > Debian CD and ask them what list is appropriate for your ideas and > patches. I don't see any justification for splitting our pool of expertise across two disjoint groups. In coming months we will likely need to have many conversations involving both the old and the new, and the resulting cross-posting between groups would just be confusing, and hamper development going forward.
