Create OS images using toolchain rather than copying and modifying existing OS images #32

@JonasBchrt

Description

@JonasBchrt

Creating new OS images by copying old OS images introduces some risks, e.g.

  • divergence of the code in an OS image and the code an GitHub
  • undocumented modifications of the code or settings on the OS image
  • issues with reproducibility
  • requiring sharing of large image files
  • trackability of problems and their origins
    To tackle this, we could use a toolchain to build OS images every time we make changes, e.g., https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen (It also has a github action version).
