Nope. This came up last cycle or two where compose had a weird bug preventing umount of the installation root fs image file, resulting in a corrupt file system and ensuing boot failure of the ISO. And actually there were some non-release blocking images that we simply did not ship because of those failures, and they were not respun, and releng said we couldn't even use a prior successfully built ISO. I don't recall the reason, something to do with either signing or metadata or something... I think it's known an alternative would be nice, especially given the big pile of images we're creating now, but I don't know what work is needed. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
