patch#2: add --cleanup-deleted flag
Using this flag, about 25% is added to the build time, but any files
that were created and deleted in the install_root during installation,
will not result in wasted space on the resulting iso. This happens
because of the nature of the filesystem living on a sparse file.
Anecdotally, this could be used to respin the fedora7-livecd-i686,
from its existing 700MB, to 664MB. Or more likely, add another 100MB
or so of uncompressed software onto it.
This is of even greater importance as people spin their own livecds,
and do intensive things during the installation, that might cause even
more wasted space.
Also, this somewhat lays the foundation for a 'turboinstaller' that
improves current liveinst efficiency by 10-25% (for cdrom vs usbflash
respectively), as mentioned in bug 248082 (pending efficiency tests
with extra device mapper layers)
Please review. Any comments, suggestions, or criticisms are welcome.
I still consider myself a relative novice when it comes to python.
My current spin of a live CD went from 731MB to 615MB using the
--cleanup-deleted flag. This allow me to put more stuff on the live CD
while I was previously thinking about what to remove.
Thanks,
