Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] [PATCH] Make use of "url" methods as a repo to get packages from

This is akin to the boot time argument "method=<something>". One such method is "url" which can be http/ftp. Since this is a popular network install method, and since installs generate a kickstart file from the install, it would be handy to be able to take that kickstart file and shove it directly into either livecd-tools or pungi. Instead of adding a repo line and duplicating some information, the kickstart parsing code should be able to take that url definition and turn it into a repo to be used later. Since this only really makes sense in compose tools, but we want the code to do this to be in a shared location, pykickstart grew a method to turn the url method into a repo and add it to the repo list. If your method was anything but url, pykickstart will raise a generic error, which is why I just have an empty except:pass. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?
