Anyway from my notes which I did in the past few days on a machine running f11 and worked fine in producing a "re-mix" DVD iso. You will have to tweak for your situation (eg change for x86_64, ppc etc): 0) Make sure mock and pungi are installed. 1) I wanted to have the files in the /opt partition so as not to use up the limited space in the root partition so I did this, but it is not essential. Changed the directory where the mock files are going to be on the /opt partition As root: mkdir /opt/Local/mock Check the mock directory has the correct permissions ll -Zd /opt/Local/mock drwxrwsr-x. root mock system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 /opt/Local/mock ll -Zd /var/lib/mock drwxrwsr-x. root mock system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 /var/lib/mock Then cd /var/lib mv mock mock.orig mkdir mock give it the correct permissions. Note that there is an "s" in the permissions! Add line to fstab /opt/Local/mock /var/lib/mock none bind 0 0 Now mount it by doing: mount /var/lib/mock Next we can start the preparation process (change the user "mike" to whoever the user will be that runs the build): As root: 2) gpasswd -a mike mock 3) Then as user mike I did $ cd /opt/spins $ mock -r fedora-11-i386 --init This takes a while - seems to do lots of stuff - then clearly creates files somewhere! Note that mock files are in /etc/mock and new files will be placed in /var/lib/mock 4) As user mike mock -r fedora-11-i386 --install pungi This puts pungi into the chroot - again it takes a while ! 5) Need to install spin-kickstarts in the chroot so: Again as user mike: mock -r fedora-11-i386 --install spin-kickstarts 6) Should probably also install vim into the chroot the same way so that the vim command can be used to edit the kickstarts later. 7) Now get a shell within the chroot mock -r fedora-11-i386 --shell This gives a mock-chroot> prompt to indicate we are in the shell Can come out using "exit" at any time. 8) Note that the files are accessible from outside the chroot as /var/lib/mock/ 9) Edit the kickstart file of your choice as needed - they are in /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/ eg edit the kickstart file for i386 install iso. Can do this outside the chroot and then copy in to the correct dir from outside the chroot if you like. Or edit within the chroot if you installed vim as a package as above. Edit the mirror lines to suit, and also change the package list if you wish. I remove all the unwanted language support to make a large saving in iso size produced. My repo lines are of the style: repo --name=f11 --baseurl=http://my-chosen-mirror/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Ever ything/$basearch/os/ --exclude kernel*debug* --exclude kernel-kdump* --exclude s yslog-ng --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-devel --exclude astronomy-bookmarks --exclude generic* --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc --exclude btanks --exclude GConf2-dbus --exclude bluez-gnome repo --name=f11-updates --baseurl=http://my-chosen-mirror/pub/fedora/linux/updates/ $releasever/$basearch/ --exclude kernel*debug* --exclude kernel-kdump* --exclude syslog-ng --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-devel --exclude astronomy-bookmarks --exclud e generic* --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc --exclude btanks --exclude GConf2-db us --exclude bluez-gnome However referral to the mirrorlist as in the original files should work fine. 10) Can cleanup the rpm database as mock-chroot> rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* This turned out to be necessary for me before it would work. Supposed to be not vital if composing for same arch. But I did it anyway. 11) Now we can finally run the build... mock-chroot> pungi -c /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/my-chosen-kickstart-file.ks --des tdir=/compose --nosplitmedia --nosource This will likely take a long time - very long time and should trawl the repo and collect what it needs. 12) From outside the chroot environment the files are at /var/lib/mock/.... The files are finally produced in the sub-directories of /compose visible from outside the chroot as in my case where the system was initiated with name "fedora-11-i386": ls /var/lib/mock/fedora-11-i386/root/compose/20091008/i386/iso/ Fedora-20091008-i386-CHECKSUM Fedora-20091008-i386-netinst.iso Fedora-20091008-i386-DVD.iso Within the chroot they will be from directory "fedora-11-i386/" I hope this helps get going generating remix isos...... -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/kickstart----refreshing-rpm%27s.-tp25811684p25823852.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
