I understand the argument, and I see you make a lot of sense. On the other hand there are a lot of little practical issues with this. For instance; firefox has a 2-monthly releas cycle https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar which makes any release from Qubes (on DVD) outdated really fast. I would guess people would suggest new qubes users would need to always keep up-to-date, by downloading the latest from the internet. So in reality you end up shipping a firefox and various other large packages which will be deleted hours after being installed because they are outdated and possibly a security risk. For 4.1 it would be nice to have a better process in place, like I described earlier in this thread. So we can avoid shipping something on valuable DVD space that the user will never actually use. -- Tom Zander Blog: https://zander.github.io Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
