General Debian • Re: Immutable Bookworm

In contrast, if managed properly, Debian Sid provides an essentially seamless transition between progressive versions of Debian. As a result, Debian Bookworm, when it came out, had over two and half years of public testing under its belt, which was tagged onto another two and half years of Bullseye development. And so on so forth . . . The process is continuous. This is the beauty of using Debian as a base for creating an immutable OS. Of course, the "two and half years of public testing" doesn't mean much if not enough users participated in the testing process.
Because Sid is constantly being updated, as opposed to the much more "stable" bookworm, it is not practical to build an immutable Sid live iso. However, the aforementioned steps can be used to include (1) an immutable Sid and (2) a live Sid with persistence in the grub boot option, by adding the following two menuentries to the grub.cfg file:

Code:

menuentry "Debian Sid Remasterized" --hotkey=l {linux/live/vmlinuz-6.9.7-amd64 boot=live components quiet splash findiso=${iso_path}initrd/live/initrd.img-6.9.7-amd64}

Code:

menuentry "Debian Sid with Persistence" --hotkey=l {linux/live0/vmlinuz-6.8.12-amd64 boot=live persistence components quiet splash findiso=${iso_path}initrd/live0/initrd.img-6.8.12-amd64}
Part (2) can be remasterized to update part (1).

Since Debian developers do not provide live iso for Sid, it must first be upgraded from Debian testing. I have tried to build Sid live isos using the live build package, but their quality was always not as good as that from the official live iso. Some things were always missing.
