Does anyone know the reason for this? I see this is likely breaking
the nightly compose of the games spin as well.
Unless there is a specific, identified, and quantified expansion to complain about,
then the reason for increased size is "Progress".
I think I am seeing a pretty big jump, so I was thinking it was more than
just progress. It looks like the games spin nightly build is over 1GB
bigger during the build (before compresion).
The use of xz/lzma for compression (instead of gzip/zlib) saved 15% to 30% in space
about a year and one-half ago. Some spins soon expanded to use all available space.
I was involved with that. Some spins were going to be oversized without
adding packages and the xz compression just got them back to where they
had been the previous release.
The workaround for "too big to fit on media" is to remove selected packages.
Sure. Since the games spin includes the gnome-desktop spin I was wondering
if this was something that was going to be taken care of there and I should
just wait a bit or if I was going to need to drop a large game or two to
get back to 4GB compressed.
