Hi All, I have been agonising over this for a while now and I have convinced myself on a number of occasions that I should carry on with things as is but I have reached a point where I would like to ask for your help.
I keep having to fix the images that we have on the rPath system sometimes due to me making mistakes and other times due to rPath back-end changes and my skill level in keeping these things going is lacking in many ways. I spend many a night trying to figure things out and I am not getting anywhere. I am now formally requesting that we look at an alternative method for creating the images we need to present to our users. I do love the things that rPath and rbuild can do but I just don't have the time any more to put in to this. I was hoping that Stu would be able to take over this part of our project so that I can free up my time to concentrate on the mono stuff, but even he is not positive about the product. So I would like to make the following suggestion. In recent weeks I have been playing with the Suse Studio and I was able to create a running JEOS image for vmware xen and an install ISO in about 20 minutes. I found it easy to understand and very easy to customise. The image sizes were about 150MB in size. Suse studio plan to create a new image marketplace or something similar in the near future which would make our images searchable. I would suggest that we create the images we want and then upload them to the website and make them available from there. I will even donate my website bandwidth to support the downloads. I have about 500GB per month available. Please someone put me out of my misery and give me some advice. I am probably not making much sense as I have not had much sleep over the last few days. If everyone agrees I will create the images needed and we can then decide where to host them. it should not take very long to do and as Andy is on the inside I am sure we will be ok. Please let me have your thoughts.
