Hello,
QA is trying to consolidate target sizes for all images built by Fedora into a single
document that we can easily check, in a response to one of blocking images being oversize
again [1]. The document of choice is this wiki page [2]. In a newly added column, the
target size of each release-blocking image will be documented. (It can also contain target
sizes of non-blocking images, but our major focus is on the blocking ones, of course). The
target size will be a blocker for Fedora Final releases.
The target sizes for KDE image are currently considered [3] as follows:
KDE Live 2 GB
We'd like you to think over whether this is still correct, decide on new numbers if
needed, and then write it down into the document [2]. (If you decide to change it in the
future, notifying us at the same time is very appreciated.)
We'd like to avoid the situation when the image goes oversize and the target size is
simply bumped, because it adds delays to the release process. So please think ahead and
choose a size that you really want to keep and block on it (You can of course also choose
to have no=unlimited target size).
QA suggests you choose a 4.7 GB target size (single-layer single-side DVD). The current 2
GB size was chosen probably because 2 GB flash drives were common for giveaways in the
past. The technology has moved on and such small sizes are probably not common anymore.
Thank you.
