Hey guys, I know we are all busy but I am reinstalling 10.2 for a project I'm working on with the kiwi group and I started the reinstall at 4 o'clock it's now 10 o'clock and it's only 40% through the updates, on a cable modem. I think it's time to re-master the ISO's (sorry Lars).
Preparing remastered ISO's would distract the team from working on 10.3, and they're already busy on SLE SP1. As a consequence I think it's neither a good idea nor a priority.
100% ACK. People have to realise that releasing ISOs is not simply a one-man/day task. It freezes a lot of resources in the openSUSE team for several days. It's quite "expensive" actually (in terms of resources).
How about a patch dvd iso? Kind of mirror on dvd, or SP? It would save time for those installs. And those without broadband could burn the extra dvd on an internet caffe.
Maybe. Just an add-on CD for YaST2 with the all the patches (and the metadata). That's even something that can be done without relying on the SUSE team. OK, who does it ? But note that just rsyncing the patches would be pretty much the same thing (and that can be done in an Internet Café too, just bring along rsync.exe ;))
It shouldn't be that difficult. Maybe even a script of some kind could make the iso on the fly.
Yes, it can be scripted and automated.
cheers
