Also, this means that a new maintainer is needed for the LiveCD.
Ignore the trunk, it doesn't have bugfixes present n the latest 6.2-3
CD, and has no package updates. Since the CD inner workings became too
complex for other people to understand (binary init, device-mapper
"snapshot" target and so on), I won't mind if a fresh start is done.
Not that I have the time or inclination to replace you, but... I
understand the binary init, device mapper "snapshot", and so on. I have
a fedora based livecd generator project I'm working on, and for the
record I very much appreciate your work. I'll admit, it did take me a
while to realize that zisofs was where you were getting back the
compression that I thought you had given up moving away from squashfs.
But once I realized that, I was like, "damn, thats cool".
Good luck man.
Of course, perhaps in 2007 when my school workload drops in half for my
final semester, my time constraints may change. But even so, I'll still
probably just be ripping off (and extending with device mapper broken
mirror tricks for true insanity) your code for a fedora based project :)
