I am working on getting the Games Spin back for F11. It appears to have been
an aborted feature in F10 and I am not sure what all needs to be done with
the various processes.
I have updated the feature page and have passed it to the Feature Wrangler
for feedback.
It appears that the Spins SIG should be involved here, but I am not sure
what still needs to be done and when it needs to be done.
If there are things you need from me please let me know.
I expect to have stuff ready for wider testing in a couple weeks and
advice on what to do when I get to that point is appreciated.
I was looking at CommunitySpinGuidelines for Live Spins and saw the part
8192 recommendation for DVDs. I don't think that is going to work for
the games spin (8000 was too small and I have been using 10000 for my
testing). My understanding is that is a before compression size and so
depending on well things compress, 8GB could potentially compress to
significantly smaller than 4GB. Is it a big deal to use a somewhat
larger value there?
And as a heads up, I am also working on getting livecd-tools to build
isos using udf so that the compressed file system can be over 4GB. That
will add about 300 MB to the maximum size while still fitting on a DVD.
See bug 476696 if you are intested. The Games Spin compressed file system
is just under 4GiB as built by my tests on F10. I would like to have
the ability to go a little higher in case some change impacts the size
shortly before release.
