Hi all,
So we got a lot of feedback about our 4.0-RC1 and we need to make some
change for RC2. The main bug is Xorg and my unfamous xorg-server-light
that I have stripped down to avoid mesa and friends on the LiveCD.
I saw that users wich can't get X with the core and used the devel
flavor was then happy because X worked out-of-the-box. So not tousand
of solution: we need full Xorg with DRI/DRM support and some drivers
such as ati, geode, nv, intel.
On size side we are going to have a ISO at 36Mb. That said, last
cooking was at 30Mb, without additionnal packages we at 33-34 Mb with
RC1 so we got 3Mb of bloated stuff. Webkit got 1,2 Mb bigger...
Going to 36Mb is no longer a problem since with the new 4in1 we can
boot old machine in text mode, just with X or just with GTK.
I guess these 3Mb are ther because the chroot on Tabk was not clean,
not updated and so packages linked to unwanted installed libbrarie.
Gnumeric is a good example, it never ever needed GConf but is now
linked to it just because GConf and GConf-dev was installed in the
chroot but should not be part of the basic build chroot.
Any other changes you want to see in RC2 ?
