Re: Linuxtag CD



Hi Roland, 

As promised I am going active regarding LinuxTag ;-) You might not
like my comments though.

I think we still did not vote on this. There will always be new discussions
what gets on the discs. But we need agreement here - so: Can everybody
agree to us using woody (in particular I would like to know the opinion
of the Knoppix CD team, since I don't know if they have any problems 
with testing)?

*arg* I just checked on pandora and it seems that machine does not have
a full mirror but hosts only the non-US stuff. I thought main was 
mirrored there but that does not seem to be the case :(

Now I don't think it is a big problem to copy the data once. But in case 
we want to master the CD there we will run into problems. Basically we
have three options: 

- create a local mirror for just our purpose
- download the packages from the next mirror each time we create the
  isos
- update the directory with the cd stuff each time the mirror gets 
  updated (uarg!)

Maybe I am missing something?

Please let us discuss it some more first. It would also be helpful to do
a brainstorming session, probably the best would be on irc. When would you
have time? Who else would like to participate?
