| Aug 15, 2022 at 15:58 | comment | added | EML | I do this both ways for creating Ubuntu (not Raspbian) images. For x86 images, I use QEMU running on RHEL8. For RPi/ARM images, I just create a base SD card and modify it, and ship the cloned card. I can't actually see any advantage to using the QEMU approach in the RPi world. It also introduces a lot of headaches in QEMU cross-architecture support (because, rationally, you'd be running QEMU on x86, not ARM). | |

| Jul 21, 2016 at 18:33 | comment | added | goldilocks♦ | Maybe; I don't have any reason to contradict flakeshake on that. If so then the "too busy" or "uninterested" applies to some of the things on the TODO list (actually, one of them looks to have been attended to, but the TODO was not updated at the same time). If it works for its intended purpose then it works -- figuring out how to use it if you've never done so is another issue, lol. Glancing through it looks reasonably well documented in comments. | |
| Jul 21, 2016 at 18:21 | comment | added | Andy Smith | @goldilocks so this isn't where the base rasbian image comes from? | |
| Jul 21, 2016 at 15:06 | comment | added | goldilocks♦ | Probably covered by #4 under TODO ;) Hasn't been touched in a few months so either the people involved are busy with other things or have lost interest in it. | |

| Jul 19, 2016 at 17:44 | comment | added | Andy Smith | This sounds like what I'm looking for! Are there any guides about for using this? build.sh seems to assume a bunch of environment variables are set. | |
