Hello,

As discussed on
https://lists.debian.org/debian-accessibility/2017/04/msg00130.html
it would be useful to have keyboard shortcuts in the live boot menu. The
attached patch implements it in both isolinux and grub. The shortcuts
are marked with '^', so that they can be implemented correctly in
syslinux. The patch also revamps the boot menu so as to integrate the
whole debian installer options (expert, rescue, auto, speech).

Hi,

I've taken/adapted your other patch (#863177), that's easy.

But I'm not so sonvinced about this one. It's making big changes to
the existing menu structure, particularly moving the main "install"
options off to a submenu which I don't like. It's also adding the ^
into menu titles - can we fix that too please?

Compare the attached images:

Dear submitter,

as the package live-wrapper has just been removed from the Debian archive
unstable we hereby close the associated bug reports.  We are sorry
that we couldn't deal with your issue properly.

For details on the removal, please see https://bugs.debian.org/1009282

The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal
can still be found using http://snapshot.debian.org/.

Please note that the changes have been done on the master archive and
will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the
earliest.

Hello,

Steve McIntyre, le mar. 25 juil. 2017 00:10:24 +0100, a ecrit:

Ok, we can just stick to the debian installer main menu, with just the
additional live entries at the top.

? That's expected, these are the keyboard shortcuts, and only shows up
as highlighted letters to document the shortcuts, not as actual ^.

I'm wondering, though, where this code is living now that live-wrapper
was removed from unstable?

Samuel

Hey Samuel,

live-wrapper is now dead - written in python2 and not maintained for
quite a while. My plan is to keep it running on build machines until
the EOL of bullseye *only*.

We've not made any live images for bookworm at all yet - I turned off
live builds when the bookworm cycle started. Roland looks to be
interested in picking up live builds again, switching to
live-build. I'm hoping he can help you.

Hello all,
...> live-wrapper is now dead
...
of the current menus from live-build, live-wrapper and kali.
I intend to take the best of all and have accessibility in mind.

The code will land either in the live-build package directory, or
possibly in live-setup.

With kind regards,
Roland

PS: Perhaps this bug should be re-assigned to live-build, or a new one
could be created.
