Hi all,
I have been readig a lot of posts on this list lately, and wonder if
someone can give me some clarification on the difference between revisor
and livecd-creator.
As a blind user, unfortunately, I cannot run revisor in gui mode since
it is not accessible using orca on the gnome desktop, so I am not sure
what benefits I would gain from using revisor.
First of all, as the developer of revisor, I'm very sorry to not have
paid any attention to accessibility. I'll need to look into orca and
make sure the GUI is actually accessible. I'm very sorry, as this has
been neglect on my part entirely.
Revisor though also has a command line interface, which for the time
being you may be able to use. Open up a terminal and use revisor --cli
to tempt it to not start the GUI at all.
I have created a couple of livecd's using livecd-creator, and
while the
process is a bit time-consuming, it seems to be pretty successful.
Revisor uses livecd-creator and heavily depends on it. They're similar
in many ways, yet different in so many other. Sometimes, under special
circumstances mostly having to do with special use-cases, Revisor does
something a little different from livecd-tools.
Final advice; to just create a livecd, use livecd-tools. If you have
challenges beyond the scope of livecd-tools, use Revisor.
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
