Description Joshua Lock 2017-07-14 13:22:46 UTC 
We currently publish a lot of large images for each build and it would be beneficial for our long term storage management and release process if PublishArtifacts published fewer image artefacts.

* ext4 images are an intermediate of the live images, but it doesn't make sense to publish those.
* we support compression for each image by appending a compression format to the image type in IMAGE_FSTYPES, i.e. IMAGE_FSTYPES += "wic.bz2"

Comment 2 Joshua Lock 2017-09-27 13:55:06 UTC 
Some preliminary changes were made but there's certainly more we can do.
Comment 3 Robin Jordan 2018-02-26 20:29:43 UTC 
Is this part of the autobuilder rework?  If not, will it be ready for YP 2.5 M3?
Comment 4 Randy MacLeod 2023-10-24 14:24:44 UTC 
Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99
