So I took a look at this but there's just not much of an edge to get a hold of. It's not much bigger overall than 43 (we were right on the edge of the limit). Firmware got a bit bigger, drivers got a bit bigger, and that's about it. The firmware is mainly new Intel wireless firmwares, don't think we can get rid of them. biggest stuff in 43 image: 73532 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/firmware/intel/iwlwifi 75307 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ga102/gsp 75559 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ga102 85360 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/firmware/intel 88368 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/modules/6.17.1-300.fc43.x86_64/kernel/drivers 104116 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia 109122 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/modules/6.17.1-300.fc43.x86_64/kernel 133013 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/modules/6.17.1-300.fc43.x86_64 133015 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/modules 153300 /mnt/temp4/usr/share/locale 212659 /mnt/temp4/usr/bin 228153 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/locale 270794 /mnt/temp4/usr/share 348283 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib/firmware 538889 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib64 754087 /mnt/temp4/usr/lib 1835527 /mnt/temp4/usr 1895109 /mnt/temp4 biggest stuff in 44 image: 75307 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ga102/gsp 75559 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ga102 79872 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/firmware/intel/iwlwifi 91361 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/modules/6.19.6-300.fc44.x86_64/kernel/drivers 95501 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/firmware/intel 104116 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia 111212 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/modules/6.19.6-300.fc44.x86_64/kernel 136674 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/modules/6.19.6-300.fc44.x86_64 136676 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/modules 153361 /mnt/temp3/usr/share/locale 223156 /mnt/temp3/usr/bin 228290 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/locale 269689 /mnt/temp3/usr/share 364518 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib/firmware 563696 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib64 784868 /mnt/temp3/usr/lib 1898131 /mnt/temp3/usr 1958398 /mnt/temp3 The ~10M in /usr/bin is already slim pickings, and it's spread around a lot. 3.6M of it is bootupctl, which is in F44 and wasn't in F43 (dunno why yet). The rest just seems to be files that got a bit bigger, though. Can't do much about that. Ignoring the 'what's the difference?' angle and just looking for stuff we can get rid of...I can't find much. All the big stuff is the same big stuff as it's been for years. Firmware, drivers, GTK 3, GTK 4, the CJK font, libLLVM, libgallium, libicudata, podman, skopeo...we've looked into it all and we can't really do much with it. Having GTK 3 and 4 is stupid but we can't solve it until we move netinsts to webUI, because gtkUI is GTK 3 but GNOME Kiosk (which it runs on) is GTK 4. (OK we could try running gtkUI on Weston instead of GNOME Kiosk? But that's clearly out of F44 scope at least). On the whole I think we might just have to bump the limits again :( Everything boot x86_64 image https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/Fedora-44-20260314.n.0/compose/Everything/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-44-20260314.n.0.iso from compose Fedora-44-20260314.n.0 is 1210802176 bytes, exceeding the maximum size 1200000000.

The size limit bump is approved and merged and I've updated the metadata. Closing this, hopefully it should not get re-opened. |
