Possible but for Foresight not very useful, since most Foresight use is as a desktop. But if you have Foresight, you can build custom images in multiple types (but not Anaconda installable images!) with the flimage script I wrote that is included in Foresight. That works over the network and can use local caches. And that's how I've built myself images for server use, both locally (hardware and virtualization) and in EC2. It is unknown whether flimage will be useful (nor what modifications are likely to be necessary) to build images from imported Fedora 20 (which project we're working on getting under way). > Conary: > What steps must be taken on the server side? It works only as a web application. The current recommendation is to use nginx and gunicorn, but it can also work with Apache and mod_python. > Will it easy be possible to provide third party repositories? > Like RPM Fusion? Yes.

Won't work as a Conary mirror... _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.foresightlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
