Yes, but not the only one: Revisor was supposed to fix a couple of other pungi bugs (skipping xorg deps, and grabbing xs-logos instead of fedora-logos). The Fedora 9 revisor has code that tries to fix those issues and fails. Jeroen is aware of it and said it's fixed in F10. I think he builds a spin (sombrero) that shows that those problems are fixed. The pungi maintainer was also hinting at dropping pungi in favour of revisor. "The future is revisor" was the between-the-lines msg. So I'm on the fence on this one.

Pungi creates media which has the needed openssl.i386 file in it's Packages directory, while revisor creates one that excludes the needed file. Think you found a bug in revisor, I feel that this problem will never get corrected in F9. Going forward, if I recall you were using revisor mainly to embed the kickstart file into the media, given that we run the newly created iso though "mkslim" anyway,(which can add any files to the iso you want) perhaps we might look at using pungi to spin the release in place of revisor. As a bonus pungi runs a whole pile faster that revisor in creating the installation media.

I've installed 0.5.1 on several machines without hitting this at all. No idea whatcould it be - package that reportedly caused that bug has long been fixed... what versions of those pkgs does rpm -qa say you have? cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
