The downside of Fedora doing it, is more work for release engineering and getting stuff out to the mirrors on release day, and that image is frozen throughout the release. If your group does it, you can do occasional respins to get updated version of packages. (There can be tricky parts to that as sometimes updates can break anaconda or livecd-creator outpuit.) > >Spins SIG is a bit up in the air right now.

Effectively the overseeing group that was supposed to share work between all of the groups doing spins has become dysfunctional. Essentially each particular spin SIG is off doing their own stuff. There is also a higher level concern about how spins are being promoted and whether or not that helps or hinders Fedora. Note the latter is about how spins are promoted on the Fedora web sites, not whether or not people can make their own spins. The plan is for some people to talk about this at the upcoming Fudcon in Tempe. I won't be there, but will participate remotely if the discussion is done in a way that allows it. In the meantime, Spins SIG is being run in maintenance mode. _______________________________________________ robotics mailing list robotics@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/robotics
