Does this impact testing? The DVD is a fixed known set of packages,
“current content of the updates repo” is changing every day. What
will “testing TC3” mean without packages on the DVD?
(Of course this would only matter for packages which are actually
tested as a part of release criteria, which may be none of those you
are proposing to remove.)
Well, there's some ambiguity there regarding the roles. Those *do* get
tested as part of release validation, and so if we decided to remove
them from the disk and handle them only by network install, then yes:
we'd need to come up with a new definition of testing.
I'm hoping that this will become easier relatively soon; there's a lot
of work going into continuous integration testing in Fedora and my
intention is for us to have all of the roles being regularly deployed
and at least smoke-tested. This way, nothing will get past Bodhi into
stable if it breaks a role. Once we have that, removing roles from the
install media could be considered (since we'd know that the stable repo
would still work).
