problems creating official spins locally
by John Poelstra 20 May '09

20 May '09

At last week's meeting I volunteered to create a simple wiki page to help anyone build one of the official spins and also build some of the spins for testing. I ran into several problems doing this last week. Some were self-inflicted (running out of disk space in the root partition), but others were more mysterious. Like kicking off the livecd-creator, watching it download all the needed packages and start to yum install them, only to watch it hang on several occasions after installing 400 or 500 packages. 1) Is building live CDs on Fedora 10 for Fedora 11 a bad idea? 2) Where can I collect troubleshooting information on why the yum install process hangs? Nothing obvious in /var/log/messages 3) What is the best way to cleanly abort a failed/hung live CD creation? I ended up having to reboot my system to unmount the loop devices and clean up all the space taking in /var/tmp because killing the process or trying to force unmount the loop device didn't work. Thanks, John

Things should be OK shortly. pykickstart was updated previously. An update to e2fsprogs is available from koji. An update to yum is due out shortly. This should resolve all of the issues that have been causing problems for me in building livedvd spins.

Using our ticketing system a little better
by Jeroen van Meeuwen 18 May '09

18 May '09

I wanted to start using our ticketing system a little better... For one, I wanted all current spins to have a ticket to be completed at Fedora 11 GA, that states, maybe: ======================================================================= == Page == * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AOS_Spin == TODO == 1. At the top of the page, add a link to the current revision of wiki page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AOS_Spin (Above Summary, Use "Previous Releases" as a header) 1. Add category Incomplete_Spins to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AOS_Spin ======================================================================= So they start all fresh for Fedora 12. Am I forgetting anything? Ideas more then welcome! Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip

#28: KDE live images oversized since yesterday; please merge new kickstart in f11-branch ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: svahl | Owner: kanarip Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 11 GA Component: kickstart pool | Keywords: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Since yesterdays rawhide push my KDE live images increased 5 megs in size (see also: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora- spins/2009-May/000605.html) This new kickstart removes one package to free the needed size. The result with this one should be 692M/698M (i686/x86_64). http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/spin-kickstarts.git?p=spin- kickstarts.git;a=commit;h=7f5490434a70635ea967d7bed9376b1d488841f4 -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/spin-kickstarts/ticket/28> spin-kickstarts <https://fedorahosted.org/spin-kickstarts/> Kickstarts that the Spin SIG reviews, tests, maintains and releases (as a package).

Size differences since yesterdays rawhide push
by Sebastian Vahl 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi, I just want to ask if this is also affecting other spins: Since yesterdays rawhide push (rawhide report: 20090513 changes) the size of my images increased 5M in size. There are different sizes in some rpms but they are not this much (at least I could identify; and for clarifiing this: there are no new packages). @Jeroen: I'm preparing a new kickstart atm and will upload it soon.
