FYI, I just completed a test run of the full iso build based on r10k. It's a little large at ~5 GB. I'll look over the installer selection tomorrow and adjust. Script appears to be working fine and all download links succeeded.
I also added a note on how to do the process http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Build#Build_Full_ISO_from_Mini_ISO Thanks, Alex On 02/16/2013 12:05 PM, Cameron Shorter wrote: > Unless someone finds a show-stopper issue, I'm anticipating we will be > releasing osgeo-live 6.5rc2 as final in 24 or 48 hours. > I'd like to talk over final release details with the rest of our osgeo > live community at our usual meeting slot in 24 hours (or 48 hours if key > players are actually dipping into their non-virtual lives over the > weekend). > > http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2013&month=2&day=17&hour=19&min=30&sec=0&p1=179&p2=224&p3=22&p4=240&p5=215 > > > On 17/02/13 06:44, Cameron Shorter wrote: >> I agree with Angelos, >> >> Sounds like the ubuntu point release is unlikely to impact our >> applications, and has some improvements we would benefit from. >> Ie: Bugs fixed is expected to be greater than bugs introduced. >> >> On 17/02/13 03:51, Angelos Tzotsos wrote: >>> Hi Brian, >>> >>> Some answers inline: >>> >>> On 02/16/2013 06:14 PM, [email protected] wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>> On Sat, 16 Feb 2013 17:53:16 +0200, Angelos Tzotsos >>>> <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> Hi all, >>>>> I have completed a new build based on 12.04.2 and it looks good so >>>>> far. >>>>> http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeo-live-debug-build10000.iso >>>>> This could be RC2 if we decide to make this extra step towards >>>>> Secure Boot. >>>>> I would like to hear more opinions about our options here.
