Hi,
I try to build a fedora6 livecd on fedora6 with the livecd tool.
So I installed livecd and pykickstart from git/cvs, and I'll give you here a
brief rundown of the commands I used, so you can see if the cause for the
error is there:
git-clone git://git.fedoraproject.org/git/hosted/livecd
cd livecd
sudo make install
# install pykickstart with yum, to get the depends...
sudo yum install pykickstart
# livecd-tools need a newer version of pykickstart than fc6 has:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@rhlinux.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
cvs login
cvs co pykickstart
cd pykickstart
sudo python2.4 setup.py install
Then I modified livecd-fedora-desktop.ks a bit, to use the fc6 repositories
and too later modify the packages etc. I've attached my
livecd-fedora-6-desktop.ks to this mail.
Then I ran the following command:
sudo livecd-creator
--config=/usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-6-desktop.ks \
--fslabel=Fedora-6-Test1-LiveCD \
--repo=c6,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os \
--repo=e6,http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386
Which results in:

I dont think "Repository foo is listed more than once" errors are related, and
I probably just dont know enough about fedora repositories to figure out the
cause and the solution for the repomd.xml problem... greping in the livecd
sources for repomd didnt help :-/ And /var/cache/yum/core/repomd.xml exists.
Any help/pointers certainly welcome, if needed I'll happily provide more
configuration details.

Any hints appreciated.

It's probably a bug with how things are done with the yum in FC6. As it
currently stands, I haven't had a chance to try out the current state of
things with FC6 to see what needs doing differently or cleaned up.

If you need it (which is doubt :) I could give you access to a system running
dc6... and based on your feedback, I'll try a newer version of yum, maybe
that helps.

Hi,
some progress, or rather some more strangeness... :/
The below report is pretty strange, I'll try later today with a newer yum
version (or anything else you might suggest). In fact I was thinking about
not this, before doing so, but then I would be curious if you can comment on
the second issue ("name 'GROUP_DEFAULT' is not defined") described in
this
mail..

Before doing so, I gave it another try and just moved /etc/yum.repos.d/ away
and ran livecd-creator with specifying the core, extras and updates fedora 6
repositories on the command line. This time it ended here:

Installing: fonts-hebrew ####################### [77/78]

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or

Ok, so I fired up an editor, and commented those 4 lines out (just to see, if
I can build the cd). Then I ran livecd-creator again, and it immediatly gave
me this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 167, in ?

De-commenting those 4 lines didnt help, a reboot didnt help (which
cleans /var/tmp and the loop mounts), I still get this when I run
livecd-creator. Anyone any clues why?
Anyway, so I switched to another build host :) Ran livecd-creator again, with
those 4 lines commented out and it fails here:

Well, this made me suspicious, and I looked
into /var/tmp/livecd-creator/build-tmpd5Vz1y and saw that directory doesnt
exist?!!
Thats my build-command:

--repo=u6,ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/
Thats my yum.conf:

pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release

You need a newer version of pykickstart I think for that.

I now use pykickstart from
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@rhlinux.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
installed with "sudo python2.4 setup.py install"
But the core issue is still the same: the livecd-creation shows this error
and /var/tmp/livecd-creator is empty after that:
ERROR during installation...

I basically use the same kickstart file as the one from the livecd git repo
for fc7, (so far) I just changed the repo-urls.
My initial problems were "solved" when I added the 6-updates repo to the
6-core and 6-extras repositories.
I also use yum 3.0.3, should I upgrade to 3.0.5 or 3.1.5?
I hope the new livecd version with Marks patches for better error handling
will be helpfull in tracking this down. :)

I remember seeing this at one point and adding code to
create /etc/sysconfig in configureSystem(), but it actually turned out
that the issue was that no packages were being installed ... I can't
remember what the root cause of that was, though.
If you do figure it out, I'd be curious to know where yum is silently
failing, so that we can fix that.
Cheers,
Mark.
