No - not 64 on 32 - but 32 on 64 works. -sv -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

By the way is there any way to build a 64 bit iso using mock/chroot running in a 32 bit version of Fedora? -- mike c -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

I think pungi is used for official releases, but that Fedora Unity uses revisor for their respins. Either should be usable with mock to get reproduceable builds. For one offs on the same arch as the builder, you don't really need mock. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Perhaps they are, and I will look into them. However, my curiosity has been piqued, so I'd still like to know how it's supposed to be done. It seems to me like it should be a somewhat straight forward task, so I am curious about where my understanding has failed.

Revisor is currently broken on F13. I posted a bug for it, but I understand the maintainer is away.

Probably the question belongs on users. >I've been trying to create my own (minorly) custom distro for Fedora > 13. All it really is is a custom kickstart and a changed up set of RPMs. I think revisor is the tool that is best for making custom install DVDs. I usually make live images using livecd-creator and can't give you specific information on using revisor. >My problem is; I've added some RPMs and removed others, so I need to > regenerate the files in dvd:/repodata to properly reflect what is in > dvd:/Packages.

The path to the packages might not be correct. If relative paths are used and the repodata directory is not related to the location of the rpms the same way, then you could see something like that. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Problem with createrepo for modified DVD ISO
Hi all, I asked this on buildsys, so this is something of a repost. I'm not sure where to turn at this point, so if this isn't the right list, would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? I've been trying to create my own (minorly) custom distro for Fedora 13. All it really is is a custom kickstart and a changed up set of RPMs. My problem is; I've added some RPMs and removed others, so I need to regenerate the files in dvd:/repodata to properly reflect what is in dvd:/Packages. I've tried various incantations of 'createrepo Packages/' but none seem to work. When I move the generated files into dvd:/repodata, roll the ISO, burn and install, the installer complains that the repo data is bad (sorry, I don't have the exact error at the moment). So then, what is the magic incantation to properly regenerate the repodata for a modified Packages directory on a DVD? Thanks! -- Digimer E-Mail: li...@alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
