I understand that you want to ship isolated images for each of the desktops in this combination image, as that is what is tested, etc. However, there is gonna be a lot of duplicated bits in those images. Can't we use some form of image where the duplicated blocks can be shared. Seems like an obvious win to me. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
