All,
recently I tried a fresh install of RSEL 7.1. I did not find it a good
experience. There were many manual steps involved and I can imagine
other people will give up on this experience.
Oh yes man, I almost gave up on making 7.1 work on my Raspberry Pi. So
many things had to be fiddled around :)
So, we will need newer images. Making images has for me been an
error-prone manual activity. hmm, error-prone is probably exaggerated,
but the reproducibility is low. To make this more robust, I'd like to
start using Mandar's "RootFS Build Factory"
(https://github.com/mndar/rbf). For this to work nicely, we'll need a
"core" group in our repo (comps.xml) and of course and idea of what we
think is core :)
Good luck. I have tried and tried and tried and I cant get RBF working.
Not even with the CentOS 7 templates supplied.
And documentation is not very good.
Why do not take core from upstream?
other things on my list of items to change:
* EPEL repo is now difficult to find/configure
I am still working and playing with koji and epel building (see my
working efforts at http://www.saltbaek.dk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=koji:start )
When it is completed it will build released epel's automatically. SPEC's
are stored in a git repository so I can add your patches).
RPM's will be signed automatically and made available in a yum repo.
* board specific repos (raspi/odroid/etc) are difficult to find/configure
* SRPMS are missing from the repo
* patches are difficult to find
* updates-testing are difficult to find/configure
* updates-testing never make it to regular updates
And if we change these things, we should keep in mind that 7.2 is around
the corner (Beta started on September 2).
BR,
Bjarne
