So, what does everyone thing ? Should we release the tree with the updates rolled in ? or should we release the tree exactly as upstream did, and also provide the updates to go alongside - but in the updates repo ?
Yes. Stick to upstream release disks and roll out the updates at the same time.
should we also add a line to the default installer that has the updates repo already listed ( but unselected ) at install time ? giving the user a chance to enable and use packages from there? ( only if they are really online )
I think the update repo being there and unchecked by default is a great way to handle this.
Just talking to Lance and Johnny online, and we feel the best way forward might be to add an Media-Updates/ repo on the iso's itself - then list both the local media updates as well as mirror.centos.org updates repo's in the anaconda screen, both disabled.
We feel this gives us the max wins in each direction ( but will slightly increase the data size on the last cd, as packages from cd-1 will move to cd-2 etc.
I will still try and ensure that a minimum install is possible using only cd-1, but cant promise that.
