A followup just to continue the saga and document the process. I traced this a little further and was able to narrow it down. It looks like there is something wrong in the call to the anaconda buildinstall shell script. It is coded to call maketreeinfo.py and makestamp.py, but they aren't being called. Or perhaps they are being called and failing quietly. I didn't trace through the shell logic, I manually created .treeinfo and .discinfo files based on the python code, and the process got through this step, but choked when it came time to split the repository into CDs. The error was something about not finding isolinux in makeisofs. I specifically asked for CDROM in the kickstart file, telling it to split at the default 695 MB, but it wanted to make a DVD. I'm going to look at the mock configuration files to see if they are setting defaults that are incorrect for what I want to do. There is some confusion in my mind about the i386 / i586 dichotomy in the files as they seem to be used interchangeably sometimes, and other times not. Because pungi was able to successfully create the repository, I can put that repository in the kickstart file as a repository and avoid a *lot* of downloading, picking up only the updates. repo --name=local-dl --baseurl=file:///<path-to-directory-containing Packages> The pungi man page is incorrect, there is no --discs option anymore as it was taken out in August of 2008. I presume that there is some automated way that the program is supposed to determine the number of discs now, but didn't check the logic chain. The .treefileinfo and .discinfo go in the .topdir, and from memory that is (in the mock chroot defined in your script) /compose/<high level qualifier, defaults to date>/<arch, e.g. i386>/os/ For completeness, I've attached the .treeinfo and .discinfo files. They are manually created, so could be wrong, but illustrate the format. I think the whole process is very close to working. And this is becoming a *very* educational experience. Fortunately, the deadline is distant (the end of Fedora 11 support), so I can experiment with it at my leisure.
