All,
I'm working with the latest version of livecd-creator available in rawhide,
which is livecd-tools-012-1.fc8. I noticed a bug when using the --base-on
option; basically, it is testing for the existence of the squashfs.img, but that
path can't possibly exist until the ISO has been loopback mounted. The attached
patch moves the mounting of the ISO before the check to see if the squashfs
filesystem exists. With this patch, I am able to successfully use the --base-on
option.
TODO: since livecd-tools was added to the dev-spin, it seems like the
most obvious minimal QA that should be done is to boot an RC of the
dev-livecd, mount some tmpspace, and then run livecd-creator (with
--tmpdir) with --base-on pointing at /dev/live, to see if you can easily
perform some minimal respin. E.g. perhaps just kickstart that adds a
couple new packages, maybe adds a 3rd party repo, and changes the
isolinux splash. And as a second QA test, respin itself without the
base-on option.
And I would love it if the dev-livecd could include qemu (space
impact?), so that the resulting livecd's could be virtually test booted
trivially.
