using livecd-creator
by Kamil Paral
Hi,
fedora-live-base.ks now defines:
repo --name=fedora --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
repo --name=updates --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch
The problem is that when I run livecd-creator on fedora-livecd-desktop.ks,
I get an error:
Error creating Live CD : Unable to download from repo : Cannot retrieve
repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify
its path and try again
Because (as I have observed) it substitutes $basearch with current arch,
but does not substitute $releasever for anything and therefore that
URL is inaccessible.
I have solved it by creating a custom kickstart file that overrides fedora
and updates repositories.
My question is - can it be done simpler? Can I for example define
$releasever as an environment variable or something? Because creating
custom kickstart file every time I just want to build an ISO for different
fedora release is just slow..
Thanks for any hints.
PS: Please CC me in your reply, I'm not subscribed to this list. Thanks.

[spin-kickstarts/F-14] Use $basearch
by Bruno Wolff III
commit a63734f02572c108c26cd0989e5f145e316873c4
Author: Bruno Wolff III <bruno(a)wolff.to>
Date: Thu Oct 14 00:53:55 2010 -0500
Use $basearch
It looks there probably still is time to get in an update using $basearch
which is currently supported by livecd-creator. ($releasever won't be
supported until livecd-creator-035 becomes available.)

spin-kickstarts branched for F-14
by Bruno Wolff III
There is now an F-14 branch of spin-kickstarts. We are starting the final
freeze now, so only serious problems should be fixed now in that branch.
And we need to give releng a heads up if we do that.
New development should continue in the master branch.
The nightly composes still hadn't been built, but releng wanted to get
the spin-kickstarts package rebuild in and doing the branch was part of
that process. The package will be rebuilt shortly.
