Making a CD with all the sources on the same CD as the binaries would be |
| 12 |
prohibitively restrictive. We're not going to do it. We're not even |
| 13 |
going to try it. |

I have this hair-brained idea. How about instead of postulating, you |
| 16 |
try speaking with the teams actually involved and see what they think? |

I'm sure Release Engineering and Infrastructure know just a little bit |
| 18 |
about the releases and our mirrors. ;] |

Anyway... |

I'm now going to be working with our Infrastructure team to come up with |
| 23 |
a solution. Continued "discussion" on this issue without knowing any of |
| 24 |
the actual back-end information is pretty pointless. I'm going to be |
| 25 |
working on a solution, so I am not going to bother reading any more of |
| 26 |
this thread, nor responding to it. There's simply no point in |
| 27 |
discussing something where one has none of the important information and |
| 28 |
yet still tries to make a decision. |
