Compose status

[Dennis Gilmore]

Hi all,

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/Fedora-24-20160219.n.0... 
is a compose that has all the live images that completed a reminder you can 
find the tasks 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?method=livemedia&owner=ausil...

Some things to note,
The Spins directory has been renamed Labs and Live has been renamed to Spins, 
the Arm disk images will land in Spins.

Games is too big. Apparently squashfs images bigger than 4GiB are not okay

There is a bunch that are failing due to broken dependencies. Any that fail to 
compose for Alpha will not ship in Fedora 24 I will be removing them from 
being attempted and will not be adding them back. I will also be enforcing the 
testing of the images in Fedora 24 also.

So please get on top of the broken dependencies and get your Spins and Labs 
fixed up.

Dennis

Unfortunately things seem to always get bigger. I end up having to do pruning 
most releases. I'll try to get it under size this weekend. I want this spin 
under 4 GiB in any case.

Though it would be nice for people wanting to build custom images with the 
new tool set for it to handle squashfs images over 4 GiB. livecd-creator 
handled this by using udf instead of iso9660, which is still supported by 
most BIOS firmware.

There is also a chance that the squashfs image is just under 4 GiB, but the 
iso9660 file system ends up over 4 GiB. I think that case breaks things.

I am having trouble finding the logs indicating how big it is in the new 
compose system logs. I can get a good idea by looking at the old compose 
system (and it is over 4GiB there), but I am guessing that will be shut 
down soon and I'll eventually need to look at the new logs for this info.

While the new compose hasn't worked yet with the Games spin (for other 
reasons) since I made a change, the old nightly composes for the Games 
spin are now about 100 MB under the size limit. So I expect Games will 
build whenever the next successful build of most spins occurs.
