Re: Unacceptable size increase to ALL live images in F28: Noto CJK Fonts

Short version:
I suggest setting the Live ISO size limit to 4GB (3.7GiB), and
including whatever fonts the g11n folks think a global operating
system should have. Alternatively, have Latin and Global Live media
but I think the download savings having two separate media is probably
outweighed by producing dual media.


Longer version:

We're way lower than anyone else.

The only limitation I'm aware of is a 4GiB file size (single extent)
limit on ISO 9660 [1], which would apply to LiveOS/squashfs.img. That
file is 100MB smaller than the ISO file size, ergo 99+% of the ISO
size is this one file.

And the next USB stick size above 2GB is 4GB. Realistically they're
hard to find. I can find 8GB sticks easily, but they're far less
common than 16, 32 and even 64GB sticks and they don't cost much less
than a 16GB stick. So it's reasonable to make the Live ISO size set to
4G (or 3.7GiB) for now.

[1]
ISO 9660 Level 3 supports multi-extent files, which I think Linux
mkisofs and the kernel support, in which case the actual limit is
8TiB. There's also UDF. And since Fedora has dropped the release
blocking criterion for successful optical media creation, we're not
limited to these two choices.
