Hi,
I downloaded the f7test1 livecd and it looks great! I think this has the
potential to really help the spread of Fedora.
On the control panel I could only find an option to select the default
printer, not actually set-up a printer (I'm aware of lpadmin but a GUI would
be nice).
Maybe the response to my questions below will be that I need to spend much
more time reading about how repositories work, but I'll ask anyhow.
On the LiveCDHowTo page the following example command is given:
livecd-creator \
--repo=c6,http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/
\
--repo=c6_upd,
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/
\
--repo=lcd6,http://people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/ \
--repo=e6,
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/
\
--package=fedora-livecd-desktop \
--fslabel=Fedora-6-Zod-LiveCD-1-foo2
If I want to use f7, do I replace "/6/" with "/development/", and
remove the
extras repo (which doesn't appear to exist for development). Should I also
change "repo=c6" etc. to "repo=c7" or does this not make any
difference?
--repo=name,url .. you can put the name with anything you like
I notice if I run the modified command above that RPM header files
are
downloaded into
"/var/tmp/livecd-creator/build-tmp...../yum-cache/[lcdr_c6|lcdr_e6|lcdr_lcd6]/headers".
Is there a simpler way to build a local repository rather than using these
to download the required RPM's? I think it'd be good to have the option to
keep downloaded RPM's after a build, and for the next build, only download
any addition ones needed.
Finally, I see that the RPM's do not sit inside the folder given to
livecd-creator
"http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os/
", but inside the subfolder "Fedora/RPMS/". Is this how I should
structure
my local repository? Do I need anything other than RPM's in my local
repository?
the hierarchy can be anything you like ... you just need to point the
url to the folder that contains the folder named "repodata" because
theres where the metadatas for the repo are stored
many thanks
Luke
