Contributions summary:Felix primarily focused on modifying the build process for the Raspbian image. Their contributions involved refining the build script (`buildroot.sh`) to improve image creation and compression, particularly addressing memory constraints on resource-limited Raspberry Pi devices. They also enhanced the build process by including `.bz2` compression to accommodate users without `xz` installed, adding to the overall image distribution capabilities and the overall usability of the project. Additional changes include cleaning the build directories.
