I wonder if pungi and livecd-creator | handle excludes differently. Definitely worth checking out, thanks for | bringing this up. | Yeah, pungi and livecd-tools do treat excludes differently; I've brought up a similar issue before: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/2008-July/msg00106.html pungi extends the yum exclude list, eliminating the packages from the package sack (src/pypungi/__init__.py:339), and those will thus not be available during package selection, nor dependency resolving, nor whatever other stage except buildinstall. livecd-tools only removes the packages in the exclude list after the complete groupLst and packageLst have been selected. Ergo, after dependency resolving, "excluded" packages may have been pulled back in. Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen - -kanarip

If an exclude is encountered at a repo declaration line, that should be passed into the yum object like pungi is doing. But if the exclude (or -foo) is encountered in %packages, it should be treated differently, it should be treated the same way they would be treated should the kickstart file be used with anaconda to perform an install. That is the way that livecd-tools is doing it, so that things with - signs could still get pulled in if they are needed to resolve deps of other things selected. Obviously I have a bug in pungi with this, I'll be looking into it. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
