Hello, I have a need to make a new F-11 livecd and switch out a couple packages. I run across several issues that I wanted to point out.
1) Mirrors sometimes hang or reset the connection. livecd-creator has no provision for nudging it to choose another mirror. The only thing you can do is kill -9 its process which leaves lots of stuff mounted. 2) When you do get another mirror, sometimes you get older copies of packages in the cache. It would be nice if only the newest package is in the cache. 3) Would it make more sense to do all the package downloading before mounting the target image via loopback? This way kill -9 doesn't leave a mess. 4) After retrieving the repomd files, it would be good to know what its doing. Mine's been sitting here for about 1 hour (strace shows nothing is happening): tune2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009) Setting maximal mount count to -1 Setting interval between checks to 0 seconds filespec_eval: hash table stats: 12 elements, 12/65536 buckets used, longest chain length 1 Retrieving http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/11/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml ...OK Retrieving http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/11/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml ...OK No such package *debuginfo to remove What gives? -Steve -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list
