Yann Guidon / YGDESI am doing a routine test of the scripts before I release an early version and I discover that a new archive version is available:
2015-09-24-raspbian-jessie.zip : 1332985725 bytes
25% larger than the previous version ! That's insane ! But not as much as the image's size itself:
2015-09-24-raspbian-jessie.img : 4325376000 bytes
SDcards, and storage devices in general, don't have all the same exact size so with some bad luck, it is easy to get a 4GB flash card that is not suitable for this image... So I insert my work card in my computer to check :
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3,7 GiB, 3980394496 bytes, 7774208 sectors
What the f*** Raspberry Pi Foundation, what the holly f*** ?
The filesystem has 715MB free, before the 100MB swap file is created. The filesystem should be 350MB smaller to fit in a 4BG card, and it's not hard to achieve. Just stop bundling junk with your images.
Correction :
# dd if=/dev/zero of=ZERO bs=4K
946167808 octets (946 MB) copiés
So why expand beyond the 4GB limit ?

I think it could be caused by the editor, anytime I type a "sharp" sign (#) or arobase (@) it creates a weird dialog. There's one sharp here, the editor wanted it to link to project/5373-hacker-channel so that's maybe why it notified you ? It wouldn't let me remove the link cleanly...
As seen here, when the sharp is preceded by another sign, the editor doesn't popup the project selection window, I found it out later.
All my apologies for the inconvenience.

Same here.... I think there's plenty of bugs in the had.io site. Like that the protovoltaics projects gets (auto) updated 4-5 times a day without any visible changes.
