[Sugar-devel] Update on SoaS spin in f24 final release

[Thomas Gilliard]

I just had a irc  discussion with dgilmore re: SoaS spin:

<satellit> 14522162 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=14522162  looks like 
SoaS replacement? (Fedora-SoaS-Live-x86_64-24-1.2.iso)
<satellit> works
<dgilmore> we can not ship SoaS
<dgilmore> we can likely work with websites to make a nightly available 
somehow
<satellit> no way to give us a permanent link for this build? So I can 
post it?
<satellit> anaconda has no timbucktu on it
<satellit> 24.13.7-1
<dgilmore> we can not use that build
<dgilmore> because it will look like it should have been part of the release
<dgilmore> It is very unfortunate. but there is a lot of metadata that 
knows nothing about SoaS in the f24 release
<dgilmore> we would need to manually hack it all to update it
<dgilmore> and there is not the time to do so
<dgilmore> as we move into a more automated world its going to be even 
harder to manually mess with things
<satellit> ok  I had hoped for something could be provided I have been 
doing livemedia-creator builds and all work here
<dgilmore> We can likely do something as an unofficial thing
<dgilmore> websites would need to e onboard
<satellit> thanks....It installs fine as 2nd DE in cinnamon
<dgilmore> we can put a nightly in /pub/alt somewhere
<dgilmore> same for Design Suite
<satellit> thanks : )
<dgilmore> but its more up to websites than me
<satellit> hope the spin does not get dropped due to this...
<dgilmore> It will not be
<satellit> K thanks
<dgilmore> Jam_KDE will as it had broken deps
<satellit> FYI LMC I use is here: 
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fedora_24#livemedia-creator
<dgilmore> :)
<dgilmore> fwiw, I wonder if we should not do offical live respins 
monthly. Though that has other issues
<dgilmore> like retention and source matching
<dgilmore> as well as ensuring testing
<satellit> be great there is a sugar 0.109 (unstable I am testing atm...
<satellit> Hi Thomas,
<satellit> Thanks for testing!  The copr doesn't include activities 
yet.  If any activity authors want their activities in the copr, please 
send me tarballs (and probably send them to Peter Robinson as well so 
that they get into rawhide).
<satellit> Thanks,
<satellit> Sam

<satellit> thanks
<dgilmore> cool

Sorry for the bad news. But we will not get dropped as a spin; will have 
place to do downloads of the .iso
