Does anyone know if livecd-tools will support CentOS 7 at some point?
Are there alternative LiveCD making tools that might run more reliably for
creating a CentOS 7 LiveCD?
I'm currently using livecd-tools to build CentOS 6 images for a PXE server,
and it's been working ok, but I'm starting to get deprecation warnings and
need to move up.
Thanks in advance everyone.

I believe that LiveCD is supported on Scientific Linux, but I do not know about CentOS.
Btw, I prefer SL over CentOS personally (there is a lot more responsiveness in the mailing
lists -- I am subscribed to both, but do not post much) and would perhaps have switched
from to SL Fedora if the EPEL had more (rather all the Fedora) packages.
Hibernate is failsafe (and supported out of the box) on both CentOS and SL as of now.

Centos 7 uses livecd-tools, there are rpms available if you google.
EL7 includes lorax which also works fine.

Thanks for the reply Grant.
I can't seem to get livecd--tools to work under CentOS 7 at all - the
"rhpl" package has apparently been removed, and livecd-tools requires it to
run.
I found it in the rpmforge repository, but the package requires Python 2.6
- CentOS 7 is Python 2.7 (the entire reason for the upgrade on my end, in
fact).
Secondly, Lorax doesn't appear to do what I need it to do - I need to
generate a LiveCD image from a custom kickstart file, and it looks like
Lorax creates an install ISO, not an image designed to come up and run
utilities, perform operations and actions from RAM.
Do you have any more suggestions? I'm about to just start commenting out
code and see if that helps.

Followup - after getting in to the code to see what was up, the rhpl
library is only attempted after system_config_keyboard is not present.
I was able to get a successful run after typing:
yum -y install system-config-keyboard
For some reason, CentOS 7 didn't come with this package by default.

You can find rpms here:
CentOS7: http://people.centos.org/arrfab/CentOS7/LiveMedia/RPMS
SL7: http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/download/RPMS/7x/x86_64/
In case for SL you can find more info here: http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/build.html
In both cases the rpms are not officially part of the distribution.
Cheers,
Urs

Sorry I didn't see this message sooner.
livemedia-creator is the supported way to create custom isos and disk
images. It is part of the lorax package and you can read the docs for
the Fedora version here -
https://rhinstaller.github.io/lorax/livemedia-creator.html and my recent
blog post here -
https://www.brianlane.com/creating-live-isos-with-livemedia-creator.html
RHEL7 documentation is here -
