As reaction to approved MiniDebugInfo feature, we agreed on KDE SIG
meeting that we would have to break CD size limit (and the breaking
of CD size image was used as argument to accept this feature).
We agreed that 800 MiB is achievable target:
- all spins will still fit Multi Desktop Live DVD
- there's still space available for overlay for USB disks
- you can still get 800 MiB CD-Rs (may hit HW constraints...)
Other possibility is to go directly to 1 GiB but we are not sure
there's advantage (at least not now).
Contingency plan - at least for one release we'd like to have a
700 MiB KS (with more compromises).
So we'd like to hear from rel-engs, QA etc. what's theirs position
here.
As far as QA is concerned it's entirely your decision (as a personal
note to self, I'll have to update the Deliverables SOP draft). We just
need to know so we know what limit to check against in testing.
As a personal comment, though, doesn't this seem a little fast to make
the decision? Wouldn't it at least make sense to wait for minidebuginfo
to be implemented, then spin a test KDE image and see exactly how big it
turns out with the current package set? Note that spins are not
absolutely required to hit their target size at Alpha; it becomes a hard
requirement at Beta stage. So you have up until Beta release to make the
decision, really.
