I think appliance-creator is pretty much unsupported at this point, isn't it?
Yes, so moving to ami-creator might be a good choice.
livemedia-creator is supposed to replace livecd-creator, appliance-creator and ami-creator, although it hasn't seen much testing for the last 2 cases it does have code that may work :) It is part of the lorax package.
I'm told by Fedora release engineering folks that we can't use that -- the builders run in VMs, so virt-install isn't an option, and since livemedia-creator is based around that, it's not available to us. 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?
livemedia-creator has a --no-vitr mode which uses anaconda's --image install mode. It doesn't currently work for F18, but does work for F17.
