Hi there
So here is the discussion about what isos we should keep or have for
final release. We had several (many!) proposals on that topics and we
need to take some decisions.
Here are some prerequisites I can see for what I can read in comments
and review about Mageia on the web.
- provide a full open source software version
- provide CD iso(s) so that it can be quick to download (people having
low band-width or paying depending how much they use it)
- provide live version(s)
I'd suggest for livecds:
2 liveCDs:
- 1 GNOME 700M i586 - english only - for FOSDEM & co
- 1 KDE 700M i586 - english only - for FOSDEM & co
4 liveDVDs:
- 1 GNOME DVD i586 - all locales-*
- 1 GNOME DVD x86_64 - all locales-*
- 1 KDE DVD i586 - all locales-*
- 1 KDE DVD x86_64 - all locales-*
Question...
do we need to provide XFCE (or LXDE) for those that does not like
the GNOME/KDE bloat (and "phone/pad" gui) ?
- decrease isos number. QA is just a hell on the set we had for Mageia 2
Doing 2 livecds & 4 livecds would drop live isos from 16 -> 6
- provide localization as large as possible
liveDVDs would carry all langs...
Install DVDs already carry most (all?) langs
- provide isos including major drivers including proprietary one to make
it easier to install and configure
liveCDs/DVDs already does...
for "normal install" DVDs I guess we need to add nonfree firmwares
to the isos in separate media with an option to enable/use them in
the install phase as some hw need it to actually work.
(IIRC tv had something like this in progress)
Keep in mind that what you want is not necessarily what another one
want. So let start proposals here and discussion. Please add all
explanations to your proposal.
Let say we take one week on this so until 26/09 then we will make a
final proposal
Cheers
