Re: rpmfusion based spin

That sounds fine - I think maybe a DVD spin with all the rpmfusion

My experience (with xfce, games and other locale specific spins) is
limited to the Live media spins. I haven't looked into Pungi much. If
anyone else wants to help by maintaining a dvd spin, I would appreciate
that.
This is thinking way ahead, but while we're on the topic of spins
do you
think it's fair to say we should respin once every 2-3 months? That
means we could have (roughly) the gold release + 2 respins along the way
per release of Fedora. Until DRPM support gets into the build infra, I
think this would be a good thing to do since another really annoying
thing for users is having to wait 4 hours for a large DVD iso to
download, then after installing they find they need some 150 updates!
Yeah, we should be able to generate images very easily. Testing can be a
problem since updates have before introduced regressions that affect the
way the installation works (or does not for that matter). I hope others
can help with that.
Just to be on the safe(r?) legal side, maybe we should preinstall
packages from only rpmfusion-free but have the rpmfusion-nonfree repo
enabled.
This is what I am going with as of now.
freefusion sounds good, but I think the name might be a bit
misleading
if we enable or preinstall nonfree packages, or users might ask about a
"nonfreefusion" spin.
I looked a while back and realized freefusion.org
is unavailable as
well. Who wants to name the baby?
