Hi,
Julien Lepiller <julien@lepiller.eu> skribis:
When submitting the MR to libosinfo, there were concerns that the .xz extension would cause problems with other software, so we left it out.
I think we should provide a .iso download directly, if we want gnome boxes to propose the guix system.
We could do that but… isn’t it a bit ridiculous? I mean, compression is
a well-known technique to reduce bandwidth usage, right? :-)
That said, we now produce compressed ISOs IIRC, so it might be that the
extra compression layer doesn’t buy us much. Would be worth checking!
Thanks,
Ludo’.
