Support for rpi-imager: Selection of DietPi

[StephanStS]

Needed for rpi-imager integration:

• DietPi logo
• .json file (testwise extended, needs to be reduced later). File can be renamed to dietpi_list.json

To request DietPi to be integrated into rpi-imager OS list, these files need to be supplied.

Local usage (with extended .json file): rpi-imager --repo custom_os_list.json

This is something to implement into rpi-imager itself, instead of in DietPi, isn't it? Or what would be the reason someone adds a custom OS via custom JSON and load it via console with rpi-imager, instead of just downloading and flashing the DietPi image directly?

Did you find the JSON in the source code? I could find the docs only 🤔: https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-imager/blob/qml/doc/json-schema/os-list-schema.json
Is it entirely hosted on a server outside of the source code repository? You mentioned there is a web mask to request adding a new OS to the RPi imager. Can you post the link?

I think there are these options:

• Add RPI images via form (given above) to rpi-imager
• Generate an own .json which also supports other hardware variants we support and somehow spread it via DietPi
• Do both
