[Bug 2028213] Re: ISOs with the new installer are 34% bigger than legacy ISOs

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 23.10.8

---------------
livecd-rootfs (23.10.8) mantic; urgency=medium

  [ Heinrich Schuchardt ]
  * risc-v: increase loader2 partition for VisionFive 2. EDK II is available
    for the StarFive VisionFive 2 board. As it is larger than U-Boot we need
    to increase the size of the loader 2 partition to accommodate it.

  [ Michael Hudson-Doyle ]
  * lb_chroot_layered: use rsync to make more minimal overlay layers.
