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.
I just now tried rbf. For me it worked exactly as it supposed to do. I
got a working image on the first try. (actually second try, in the first
try I installed a rpi1 kernel for a rpi2 machine)
interested in the .xml?
Why do not take core from upstream?
Well, it is bound to have x86 specific things, things we don't like and
it will miss things. (wireless tools for instance)
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.
looking forward to see the result!
Here my first iteration of a packagelist for core.
I started with core form upstream, but removed:
biosdevname

firewalld
iprutils
irqbalance
kexec-tools
policycoreutils
selinux-policy-targeted

tboot
(note: I wanted all firmware stuff to be board specific, therefore they
are excluded from core)
I'd keep firewalld and selinux related packages.
