I'm close to releasing the beta of refracta-6.0.6, and I'm close to releasing new debs for refractasnapshot and refractainstaller. The next version is much like the previous version, but I started this from a minimal debian install instead of from a debian-live build. Got rid of some apps I didn't like (ristretto comes to mind), installed stuff with fewer recommends, replaced xfburn with brasero, added gthumb, and I think I'll release a small iso with a lot of stuff missing. The stuff that's missing will be easily installable with the package selection script (System --> Install Software), or you could install whatever you want by any of the usual methods. And maybe I'll make a big version, that has all the other stuff, for usb-hdd.
There are a few new things at the github page:
https://github.com/fsmithred/refracta
repsit-0.7 is the new installer. Take a look at the package lists found at the top of the script.
refractainstaller and refractasnapshot debs were split into separate packages for -base, which contains the cli-only script and other necessary files, and -gui, which has the gui script. The debs that are there are unsigned debs. The next ones will be signed, and they'll put stuff in /usr/bin and /usr/lib instead of /usr/local.
There are also a couple of refractasnapshot test scripts. Their names end in "-wodim", and the new piece is that the script will ask you if you want to burn the iso to a CD right now. Pop in a blank, say yes, and you're done. If you want to play with this, you need to do a few things first.
Install the 9.0.0 debs. Note that this will blow away older versions of refractasnapshot (i.e. Dean's python versions) if they exist. This version doesn't use wodim.
copy /usr/local/lib/refractasnapshot to /usr/lib/refractasnapshot
note that refractasnapshot-gui depends on refractasnapshot-base.

I am still the full-time guinea pig...
Trying to create a remix-refracta with i2p/tor/foxyproxy/scuttle/wordpress (zim, gobby and osmo too, zim and osmo could be mounted via sshfs from a server, so you got it all in sync, but the file, ~./ssh/config and ~/bin/mount_zim, need to be edited manually).
fsmith wants to test it, and if i ain't got secret porn somewhere i will offer it for the world, as a test project, nothing serious, just a proof of, a very raw, concept).
Edit: and voila: its back to kernel panics. Great. Forking great...will take a while to get it sorted.
We both usually speak about refracta in the #study-group channel, on Sunday, the time for me is 06:00 pm and for USA folks is something like 12:00. Hope to meet you there !
We spoke a lot about the scripts to be found here:
