Description of problem: Is there a possibility to have Mageia a daily or weekly build that can be downloaded in ISO? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Not Applicable Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup a download link with daily or weekly ISO build. 2. For example: http://weekly.mageia.org/iso/02202011-mageia-dvd_build.iso http://weekly.mageia.org/iso/02202011-mageia-dvd_source.iso This way, people who downloaded the alpha version which doesn't have internet connection can rebuild/fix their current alpha release setup with updated packages. I think this is similar to "rawhide" in fedora which they have nightly build I believe. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

If they don't have nternet, how are they going to get weekly ISOs ?

Actually, the purpose of this is that those packages that were already fixed from the weekly ISO and apply it on their system. Scenario: Mageia1_office(with Internet) = daily update from development is no problem. Mageia2_home(no Internet) = Option1: copy all packages from /var/pkg or similar path then transfer to home pc or Option2: download the weekly ISO build in office and update home pc installation. Just a suggestion as I've seen ISO in Slackware and Fedora such as these...
Your use case is not the right one I guess as I think those people will rather use regular updates. If you do it on a daily base, it's not that big. Anyway we plan also to have daily/weekly isos done for test purpose to avoid issues during official releases. This is not yet done. Stay tuned
Thanks a lot Anne...

Summarizing: * we have all the tools we need for that [1], * a daily set of ISOs takes about 20GB of storage, * we don't have enough bandwidth yet to provide such daily sets of ISOs - ideally we need a dedicated host to build and publish the ISOs (we won't use regular mirrors for that). So, contributions welcome for: * a dedicated host with enough storage (easy) and bandwidth; * a working build chain; * isocheck improvements (finish it, add more specific/config tests, publish reports); * more automatic test tools on ISOs; * growing the QA team (having a daily set is one thing, applying tests on it and acting on those is another). I emphasize that just in case: nightlies/dailies/weeklies/whatever will _not_ be for everyday users (and should be configured as such with appropriate warnings along the whole chain). Those builds are going to be really interesting only for: * the automatic build/install/post-install test reports we will be able to set up later; * very occasional testing by QA or developers. -- [1] that is: * bcd to build ISOs (http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/build_system/bcd/) * isocheck to check these ISOs for basic stuff (http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/isocheck/) * it needs a script to chain them (trigger the build/check/move/notify steps)

Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja

This is an enhancement request, so should remain assigned to cauldron.

BUMP! What has happened to this? Is it still possible?
Reading this bug, I see that was intended to mageia alpha testing iso update The end user that used or use the alpha, beta iso, is an QA user Giving weekly, or daily update ISO has no sense to me, because end users using alpha or beta ISOs, must upgrade with official ISO to have support Weekly or daily updates overloads the MGA team, in infraestructure, QA testing In other (more recent) update enhancement, I said the following: publish an update ISO with all the core updates every six month, to ensure the end user can upgrade the system (bug fixing, because a non connected device is no risk at all) QA is not overloaded May be this is possible in the measure that core updates published ISOs preserves order, but avoiding the end user use the more recent ISO without the past updates already installed because makes the mageia system weak and unstable

Hi, What about this old bug, no longer commented from 2+ years? Suggestion: Today, we have a netinstall ISO. What about a Debian-like release of Classic Installer ISO, like having Mageia 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 from a snapshot of our stable repos? I don't know how ISO are created but this could be doable?
