Could someone please tell me what the deadline is for adding expanded partman-btrfs functionality? My proposal is in a thread on debian-b...@lists.debian.org, subject: "Re: btrfs subvolume naming scheme". A résumé of the read is: add the volume-manager-like subvolume setup, and hopefully also add btrfs-style raid1 profile support, and also the question of whether Debian should follow Ubuntu and openSUSE subvolume naming conventions or Fedora/CentOS/RHEL ones. The upstream wiki advocates Fedora/CentOS/RHEL-style. Thank you, Nicholas

The upcoming release will use whatever is in testing at this point, so it'll be for a later release. KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: Feature-request of unlimited-size ISO image; install media
It is my experience that working with an offline single-image is way easier, simpler and faster than creating a local Debian mirror. Please re-consider this idea. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"

We've thought about this before, and decided not to do it. The split we've gone with is (maybe) useful for some people where they may be able to write the larger (BD/DLBD) images to optical media. But even these cover only a very small proportion of our userbase. For full copies of the archive like that, you'd be much better off simply using a normal filesystem and creating a mirror on it. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com Mature Sporty Personal More Innovation More Adult A Man in Dandism Powered Midship Specialty
Feature-request of unlimited-size ISO image; install media
Hello, As a long-time Debian user, I would like to request adding a "single" or "one" ISO image, that would have all the packages for one architecture. It is beneficial (compared to DVD and Blue-Ray ISO images) when one is installing Debian from a USB flash (128 GB flash are common) or in a virtual environments (VMware / VirtualBox / KVM). Something like: debian-8.5.0-amd64-one-1.iso -- an ISO image, that includes all the packages for one architecture on a single media, without size-restriction. At least for source, x86-32 and x86-64. Even if it is limited to "jigdo" download, would be a nice and useful addition. Thanks in advance, -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"
