[Bug 1739418] Re: Please build minimized images in a 1GiB image

 

We discussed the change with Steve Langasek again and agreed that the initial image should not be changed and the size of the final images produced by livecd-rootfs should be monitored.
The change already made in trunk will be reverted soon.

Title:
  Please build minimized images in a 1GiB image

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Xenial:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Without the fix the initial size of the image is ~2.2GiB, even for minimized images. Changing it to 1GiB allows detecting an increase in packages' installed installed size in case they would exceed this smaller limit.
   * Minimized images are generated for Xenial, too, and having this limit in effect may help keeping images small.

  [Test Case]

   * Generate all minimized an non-minimized images to see that all the
  builds still succeed.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Since partitions images are expanded to pre-defined sizes at the end of image generation this change should not change the resulting image sizes where having free space is needed at run-time.
   * The change may break building images, hence the tests in the Test Cases section.
   * The change is tested extensively in Bionic
