We could maybe engineer an alternate build process using the internal cloud, adapting livecd creator to run on a cloud instance rather than with virt locally. Or something. Any ideas?
I'd strongly recommend oz-install ... https://github.com/clalancette/oz Depending on what exactly this appliance is going to be used for, then febootstrap & a supermin appliance might be an option for you too.
Doesn't Oz have the same issue with needing to launch a virtual machine? I don't think we want to run the install under QEMU.
It does, but this isn't a huge problem because installation is so entirely I/O-bound.
Or do you mean it's a problem to run qemu at all? qemu certainly runs inside Koji just fine -- we run that all the time.
febootstrap works off the RPMs directly, but has other limitations.
