Requirements

You either need the efaLive Docker project and use Docker, or you need a Debian stable (Bullseye) system. To cache the Debian packages that are downloaded during build, I have apt-cacher-ng installed. But it is not aktivated per default. Packages that need to be installed to create the image:

• live-build
• texlive-lang-germa
• texlive-latex-base
• texlive-latex-extra
• texlive-latex-recommended
• docbook-to-man
• devscripts
• sudo

How to build

You can create a efaLive CD image by calling

sudo lb clean
sudo lb build

in the root directory of the project. Please note that the configuration is for live-build (stable), which is included in Debian stable and probably will not work on other distributions.

Once the build has finished, you should have a file live-image-i386.hybrid.iso in the project root directory. This can be written to a CD, copied to a USB stick or just used for VirtualBox.
