#16: Support Sourcing kickstarts directly from spin-kickstarts git -----------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: tflink | Owner: somebody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Public Deployment Component: Image Building | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -----------------------------+------------------------------- Comment (by amitksaha): The image builder does support referring to remote kickstart files via http:// URL's. So you could use the URL of the "raw" version of the kickstart from the git repository. However, it needs to be ksflattened.. Read on for more. There are two things here: 1. From the web interface/in distributed mode, if you use one of the standard kickstart files, then you don’t need to ksflatten them. Internally, it simply copies the kickstart files from /usr/share/kickstarts to the temp directory, so that any other kickstart file your kickstart refers to is already present. This is however based on the assumption that you have the the spin-kickstarts package installed -- which I do during deployment. So, if we were to support URL's from the git repository, one solution is have a git clone of the spin-kickstarts repository. We will then need a way to distinguish between the packaged and the git version of the kickstarts. Perhaps, then we could support git:// url's and pick up the files directly from that repository.. 2. When you are using the service in local mode, you may specify a kickstart file which includes others, provided they are all in the same directory. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-build-service/ticket/16#comment:1> fedora-build-service <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-build-service> A service to build fedora images with a somewhat arbitrary package set from the standard fedora repos or builds from koji.
