[Fedora-livecd-list] Announcement: livecd-tools v25.0

Hello all, I've released livecd-tools v25.0 and it is making its way to Fedora and Mageia now. It is currently available in Rawhide and Fedora 26, while being in updates-testing for Fedora 25 and 27. It should be in Fedora 25's stable updates by Monday, and it'll be available as a zero-day update for Fedora 27. For Mageia, I have pushed it into Cauldron and will be part of the upcoming Mageia 7. I have not yet decided on whether I should propose an update to v25 for Mageia 6. ## What's new This update addresses several bugs and introduces the new editliveos tool to replace edit-livecd. The legacy edit-livecd tool remains available, but deprecated. livecd-tools now supports OverlayFS as an alternative to the device-mapper as the mechanism for persistent live media. I've merged into the Fedora packaging a change from my Mageia package: a new subpackage livecd-iso-to-mediums has been introduced to provide the livecd-iso-to-disk and livecd-iso-to-pxe scripts separately without requiring the main livecd-tools package to be installed. This should make people who don't want all of livecd-tools installed but want this happy. For the Mageia package, due to the changes upstream, I was able to drop the patch for fixing the path for some binaries being executed. ## Now what? Please check out the new release! If you have any issues, please file them either in Fedora or Mageia bug trackers, or preferably at the livecd-tools GitHub issues page: https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools/issues Mageia users, please let me know whether you'd like to see me provide the new version as an update for Mageia 6. Have fun making live Linux systems! Best regards, Neal -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
