I should be able to attend on Monday. For the games spin, there is still the
issue of going over 4 GiB. There are two parts to this. One is whether the
iso image being over 4 GiB is likely to have a significant impact on usability
to the extent it shouldn't be done. The other is whether rel-eng is comfortable
with a version of livecd-tools that can switch to udf when the squashfs
file system image is over 4 GiB. Jeremy and I have been going back and forth
a bit with patches. As of right now the git version doesn't work, but a
previous version did. The iso image is currently about 160 MB over 4 GiB.
From my opinion, we shouldn't go past the 4GiB magic boundary as far as
the official Fedora Project releases are concerned, even though we can
(once the patch to livecd-tools works). Maybe we should take this up for
a vote, and maybe if we vote positively we need to take it up with FESCo
see what they think. Or we take it up with FESCo right-away, I don't know.
Having the patch in livecd-tools though, as far as I'm concerned, helps
downstream consumers that choose to go oversized, so the effort should
definitely continue ;-)
Kind regards,
