Some more things found broken:

1) I also encountered problems because this file contained <CR><LF>
pairs, which was easily fixed with dos2unix (although finding the cause
of failure took me a while).

2) In addition, I had to strip out the strstr test, since this command
is not present on the built system.

3) One other thing - a little bit more vague, I'm sorry - I did a git
pull a couple of days ago in desperation, and found python code that had
a syntax error.  It was simply the absence of a closing ).  I cannot
recall which file, but I think it was a log statement.

4) I spent quite a bit of time wondering why /var/tmp/revisor was
present after a build, but the original loopback-mounted iso had been
removed, and no other iso was present under /srv.  In the end, after
teaching myself a little python, it seemed to be related to use of my
Fedora DVD media as a yum repo.  After using createrepo to produce a new
repository based on the same rpms, I was finally able to produce an iso.
A simple fix, but it took me a whole day of troubleshooting.

HTH.
