Hello,
As far as I'm aware, we don't seem to have a DVD with the contents of the openSUSE:Leap:xx.y project as a downloadable option. In other words, there isn't a nice way for someone to install any extra packages available for openSUSE Leap without having an internet connection.
Is there any chance we can enable this (should I submit a FATE request)? AFAICS, SLE does have this option, so OBS already has the required features to produce DVD images like that. As with SLE, we'd only need to ship the contents of openSUSE:Leap:xx.y (not :Update). Was this already discussed before and decided against?
Thanks.
There was recent discussion on the factory list about what should be in the DVD in terms of desktops, user apps etc, there was some talk (probably mostly by me) about doing a second DVD with some of the less major desktops and also given how cheap USB Flash drives are now maybe thinking about a slightly larger 8GB image that can be dd'ed to a flash drive, I don't think anyone mentioned trying to fit the entire distro onto multiple DVD's like SLE (The openSUSE installer does prompt for extra media at install though still). Maybe given we live in the age of really cheap flash drives we should just make 1 iso with everything (I have no idea how big that would be) it seems like less hassle then trying to split into multiple DVD's. Anyway I don't think the discussion ended up getting anywhere because changing things either involved hard decisions that know one wanted to make or someone stepping up to try and build different images which know one has done to this point. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adeliade Australia, UTC+9:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
