[OSGeoLive] OSGeoLive starting build cycle for OSGeoLive 15.0

Sat May 28 02:03:46 PDT 2022

Hi all,

I finally got some time to work on this issue.
The good news is that we have a booting iso:
http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/nightly/

I will now merge my working branch to master and we can start receiving 
pull requests for 15.0

We may still have a problem with EFI boot, since this part of the iso 
creation is now disabled, I have some ideas how ti fix in later stage.

Best,
Angelos
