streamlining fedora remix creation
by Valent Turkovic 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hi, as you probably know I work on Fusion Linux Fedora Remix (www.fusionlinux.org). My biggest problem is lack of sysadmin and development knowledge and because of that I have to do lots of things maniually, and I know they can be automated and streamlined but have no idea where to start. If you work on a simple Fedora Remix then all you do is done via simple edits in kickstart but when you go further than that things get very complicated very quickly. For example if you want to use make some system changes or provide additional files then you need to create new rpm package, manage .spec files from rpm packages as they evolve, rebuild new rpm packages, upload them to your repository and rebuild repo metadata. I currently do all this manually and that is just wrong, time consuming and not open to other contributors. If anybody can help us out by providing some guidance, best practices and tutoring that would be awesome. We would help with creating wiki pages and blog post to further spread this knowledge and help more people create their own Fedora Remixes.

Livecd installer fails on F15 remixes?
by Valent Turkovic 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hi guys, are you having problems with Live CD Installer? I get F15 iso to build and it works ok as a live image but can't install it. Here is the crash of liveinst : [root@localhost ~]# liveinst Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda-cleanup", line 41, in <module> from pyanaconda.cmdline import InstallInterface File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/cmdline.py", line 25, in <module> import parted File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/parted/__init__.py", line 53, in <module> from partition import Partition File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/parted/partition.py", line 249, in <module> partitionFlag[__flag] = _ped.partition_flag_get_name(__flag) ValueError: Invalid flag provided. localuser:root being added to access control list Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 507, in <module> from pyanaconda import kickstart File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line 21, in <module> from storage.deviceaction import * File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 31, in <module> import parted File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/parted/__init__.py", line 53, in <module> from partition import Partition File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/parted/partition.py", line 249, in <module> partitionFlag[__flag] = _ped.partition_flag_get_name(__flag) ValueError: Invalid flag provided. Should I report this issue as a new bug? Do your remixes of F15 have working live installer?
