Have I missed some sort of announcement concerning the distribution packaging changes starting with Fedora 21?
Where is the equivalent of this http://mirror.web-ster.com/fedora/releases/20/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-20-x86_64-DVD.iso
for Fedora 21. All of the current isos under TCx and RC1 are for live, workstation, server, and "spins".
I think there is going to be a Workstation DVD spin to create actual DVD media for give aways. I don't know how obvious the DVD image will be as a download option, but it's not something QA is testing as far as I know.
Server has netinst and DVD.
Workstation has netinst and Live.
Is the new direction forcing the use of netinstall for a general input when you do a kickstart?
There is nothing wrong with this approach it is just that was not aware it was being done.
I believe I may rethink my approch to installation and move away from depending on kickstart.
It's a valid question to ask on the desktop@ list which is where the decision was made to drop DVD. I think the expectation for many kickstart installs is with netinst with a local repository rather than limiting you to what's on the DVD, where you'd end up pulling stuff off a server somewhere anyway whenever it's not on the DVD ISO. Plus, even after a few weeks of release, the amount of updates is quite large so there's not much point installing the old packages on DVD anyway in my view. I'm kinda surprised Server went with DVD.
My experience with F20, was if I specified a local OS repo, I could not
then specify a local Update repo. That was a year ago, and I would have
to find the messages on it, but it was VERY frustrating as given all the
updates, this is EXACTLY what I would do. But I guess to do testing
soon, I will have to start syncing my F21 repos.
Well I get home tomorrow night, but I have limited time over the next 2
months. I will try and do what testing I can...
