[elbe-devel] Elbe 5.0, Jessie

[Hans Wurst]

Hello Elbe Devs,
 
since the IRC seems to be a bit quiet atm I decided to drop you a message here.
 
After playing around with Elbe 5 (that solves an initvm create issue in Elbe 3 for me) I manage to build a stretch RFS.
But my original project using a jessie does not work anymore.
 
I pocked around in the github logs and saw some topics along the same line.

)

Will it ever be possible to build jessie images again on a stretch machine with Elbe 5?

The current status makes me a bit worried about the next debian version change. Will stretch not be supported when buster is the current release?
Do you have a plan how to handle this?

Best regards
