yes that is what i was thinking also - i assume there are fewer things that could go wrong with the CLI ISO so that one can probably be promoted sooner than the others > Right, btw why don't you put screenshots of the beta releases? the thing about that is - i not sure how valuable screenshots are to anyone - especially the CLI editions dont have anything useful to show a screenshot of - all such screenshots are showing is what the desktop looks like - for example, what would be the difference between Distro-A's screenshot of their LXDE desktop and distro-B's screenshot of their LXDE desktop? only the wallpaper right? i have thought about it because the entire downloads page is probably going to need a major re-design in order to display all the new ISOs that are possible - but they would probably all have the same wallpaper sp really all they would be showing is "this is what LXDE looks like", "this is what KDE looks like", "this is what Mate looks like" - another strong option is to remove or hide all screenshots from the main downloads page - on the other hand, some people may appreciate them even if nothing useful can be learned from them, so maybe just move them to another page or make them pop-up? - but i tend to save design concerns for last, after the important work is done > About including your LXDE configs in parabolaiso.git? all my current work is on notabug - it is the same parabolaiso.git repo so you could just add it as a remote and start using my changes now if you like - that would allow building a 32-bit only and 64-bit only editions - if not only for the reason that they build in 1/2 the time during development - i just did not want my development branch to end up on parabola because it is messy and none of the commits are signed - just today i have the 32bit LXDE desktop in pretty good shape and i have one bug to fix with the 64bit build - next i will be refactoring / rebasing / consolidating / squashing the dozens of commits i have now into a few concise chunks and sign them before merging onto the master branch - then i will push it to parabola servers > Also keep me up to date with the changes to make you would need to copy the ./build.sh script from configs/lxde-systemd/ changing only the first 3 "edition-specific strings" vars - most importantly base_group='base-openrc' - the base group should not need to be in the package list - i am hoping to re-factor the package lists so the same file could be common to all builds (the same with calamares) - there is much redundancy in these configs - that was fine for arch that had only 2 configs but it is not very DRY to expand on and is kinda messy now - i think that is why the original idea was to have each edition on its own branch all based from a common 'releng' branch - but in reality there is little reason to have them separated at all - selecting a desktop for the ISO could be as simple as passing a `--desktop` option to the ./build.sh script - other than that, i am trying hard not to do anything that would require changes to any files under the existing configs/ - so hopefully you would not need to make any changes to what you have now - i was planning to try building one of the openRC configs on my fork to make sure of this but you are welcome to try it first
