Re: zsync support for jessie but not for stretch

[Jeff Epler]

I can't speak about how debian's system of mirrors might affect zsync,
but for linuxcnc's images I've seen substantial savings with zsync,
typically 80-85% reduced data transfer when downloading the next .iso
image.

One thing I just discovered is that zsync apparently can't handle https:
URLs!  :-/
could not read control file from URL 
http://example.com/html/lively/debian-live-9.1.0-amd64-xfce.iso.zsync
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=459706

In my local experiment, I got the following statistics when downloading
debian-live-9.1.0-amd64-xfce.iso via zsync when I was able to use
debian-live-9.0.0-amd64-xfce.iso as a source image (zsync -i):
used 1676443648 local, fetched 286171331
so just 15% of the full image size had to be transferred.  I don't know
if this includes the size of the .zsync metadata, but that's just about
3.7MiB. (0.2%?)

Just ran the script from the live session manually. No errors indicated.

Hi Pablo

Yes thanks for your reply. I've been busy with work lately and so I'm in
the process of checking that now.

And I forgot to indicate before that it's a stretch build.

That script has been working for jessie for some long time now though
without error.

Does it work well? We tried zsync for the installer images some time
ago, and it didn't work too well at the time and I disabled it
again. IIRC there were issues with the redirects and the setup we use
on cdimage.d.o (aka get.d.o)... See #444159

Bug#869570: Incorrect keyboard layout selected

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: debian-live
Severity: important

Hi,

When selecting French entry in the localized live on the bootloader, the
keyboard layout is set to us.

XKBLAYOUT is set to "us" in /etc/default/keyboard

Bug#869569: Please install spice-vdagent in the live cd

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: debian-live
Severity: normal

Hi,

It would be nice to have spice-vdagent installed by default in the live
cd.

That would allow the users using it in kvm to copy/paste from/to the
host.

With systemd, the spice-vdagent daemon should only start if it's running
inside kvm.

No "standard" image too.

Re: Lightdm and live-wrapper

[Pablo Brasero Moreno]

Could it be that your script is returning an error code? According to the
docs[1]: "If this command returns an error the session will not start".

zsync support for jessie but not for stretch

[igor80]

Hi,

Is there a reason for stretch not having zsync support?

jessie had and still has:

https://get.debian.org/images/archive/8.9.0-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/

 debian-live-8.9.0-amd64-standard.iso.zsync2017-07-23 15:04  
1.4M


It saves bandwidth!

Anyway, thanks!
