I think some mail I sent with this slipped through the cracks the other day, so I'm trying again. Here's my brand new idea for how to get DVD images with none of the ever increasing problems with signatures on files:
SUSE doesn't want to distribute both DVD and CD iso images due to the impact on mirrors and network traffic, but what about this plan:
Create the DVD with the same packages as the 5 CDs, organize the media as it is supposed to be organized, sign all the files correctly, etc.
Then, remove all the actual .rpm files from the tree, and make an iso of just the DVD infrastructure that is left over. This will be a relatively small file that could easily be distributed with the CDs.
Jigdo can do this - and we did it for 10.0. This could be done for 10.1 as well,
In a BR (#162780) I asked for jigdo again to try out (for a -devel CD at least). Will someone at SUSE create it? Andras -- Quanta Plus developer - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org K Desktop Environment - http://www.kde.org
