Hi, This is now a little overdue, but here it is. On the 10th and 11th of November, the second vmdebootstrap sprint took place. Lars Wirzenius (liw), Ana Custura (ana_c) and myself were present. liw focussed on the core of vmdebootstrap, where he sketched out what the future of vmdebootstrap may look like. He documented this in a mailing list post[1] and also presented.
Ana and myself worked on live-wrapper, which uses vmdebootstrap internally for the squashfs generation. I worked on improving logging, using a better method for getting paths within the image, enabling generation of Packages and Release files for the image archive and also made the images installable (live-wrapper 0.5 onwards will include an installer by default). Ana worked on the inclusion of HDT and memtest86+ in the live images and enabled both ISOLINUX (for BIOS boot) and GRUB (for EFI boot) to boot the text-mode and graphical installers. live-wrapper 0.5 was released on the 16th November with these fixes included. You can find live-wrapper documentation at https://live-wrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. (The documentation still needs some work, some options may be incorrectly described).
