[OSGeoLive] OSGeoLive 17.0 status: rc2

[edgar.soldin at web.de]

hey Angelos,

you propose docker-only only for the apps in the VM right? using images will lead to a much bigger VM image because of the duplicated dependencies in each docker-image.

are you planning to retire the disc setup in the future?

sunny regards.. ede
