Here's attached mklive-daedalus build script, it's a modification of mklive-chimaera with the difference that it will build a Devuan Daedalus system (Devuan equivalent of Debian "Bookworm") similar to DebianDog.
Updated attached mklive-daedalus 2023-03-15 and new Test ISO below, changes see: viewtopic.php?p=84331#p84331

After testing mklive-daedalus I found that the build failed because of that the "fuse'" package changed to "fuse3".
Fixed by changing fuse to fuse3 in the "preset" configs at Github https://debiandog.github.io/MakeLive/configs-daedalus/ .

The mklive-daedalus script (see above attached) is unchanged, but should work OK again now.

New Devuan mklive-daedalus build script + new Test ISO

Post by fredx181 »

New mklive-daedalus build script attached and link to new Test ISO: DebLive_daedalus-amd64-UEFI-2023-03-15.iso Here

- Fixed some build problems (previously the build failed because of some changes in Devuan repo).

Important change:
- Devuan has now a separate repository for nonfree firmware: non-free-firmware
Added it in the script to be able to use it.
For an existing daedalus build, change in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free
To (add "non-free-firmware"):
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
(also added this change to updated "repo-conf" (1.0.3) package in custom repository)

Other changes:
- No prompt anymore during build for yes/no overwriting (custom) /etc/rc.local
- The Desktop environment chosen (DE_CONFIG variable) now added to the "build_setup.conf" file.

Not only this is without systemd (as is mostly the purpose of Devuan), but also this does NOT have an 'usr-merged" system.
(the modern "usr-merged" system means that e.g. /lib, /bin, /sbin are symlinks pointing to /usr/...)
