If making a second release is too much effort, how about releasing an add-on CD/DVD disk with the updates? Maybe including it with the box.
The add-on update DVD is not a problem. Handpick last updates, download and burn. It is work, but it's not everyday work.
Well, I'm not sure what exactly to download (it must have a certain structure, I suppose), but is it possible to tell the install disk to use another disk (another dvd or HD on USB) for the updates, instead of the network?
You can tell YaST what to use. I have in mind update after installation. It is safe way. For that you have to pick latest rpm of each package, and point YaST or zypper to that directory.
I was talking about respin, just because there is a base that GM was created from. Replace packages with updated versions and run kiwi again. If everyone has to do that there will be no guaranteed quality, and individual mistakes will be attributed to openSUSE, not individual that made them.
If the process to make the factory dvd is automated, couldn't also be automated the creation of a DVD for the current distribution with all packages updated to whatever is available in the update tree?
I guess that is possible to replace original rpms with those in update tree and rerun whatever software is used to create DVD. I haven't tried that, but it seems that is good time to learn how to do it. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
