[New: openFATE 313119] provide a BD/ Blue Ray download image for openSUSE
Feature added by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Feature #313119, revision 1 Title: provide a BD/ Blue Ray download image for openSUSE openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Elmar Stellnberger (estellnb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: A ready-to-download blue ray image of openSUSE would be a pleasure for anyone who has to work offline from time to time since it will allow you to do and install everything without an internet conncetion. Currently we only have a netinstall CD for backbone internet and a DVD as install medium for average internet connections. However a blue ray image to install and work completely offline - as this was initially possible just within the size of a DVD in the early days of linux (openSUSE 9.3) - would be of much greater value than a DVD providing not much more than a package cache for a minimized first-place install system. Such a blue ray could not only contain the full rpm-set of the core distribution but also important 2nd party repos like those provided by ATI, Nvidia and Packman as well as the most important repos from the BuildService like the SELinux repo for instance. Debian does already provide a fully-downloadable distribution image; however in the form of 8 DVDs + Update DVDs which may for sure be less practical than a single BD. However this seems to be considered much more a security feature in Debian. Mandatory for the Requester as certain working scenarios require a full system image for external or optical media. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313119

Feature changed by: Tomáš Chvátal (scarabeus_iv) Feature #313119, revision 3 Title: provide a BD/ Blue Ray download image for openSUSE - openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed + openSUSE Distribution: Rejected by Tomáš Chvátal (scarabeus_iv) + reject reason: We do not plan to devote resources to this. Partly + because BR media didn't reach high enough adoption to justify resources + put in it and partly because even simple net download is in most world + location faster than copying stuff from br/dvd media.
