No no.  I copied the content of the DVD to /usr/local/f7, and altered
the relevant baseurl location to file:///usr/local/f7 instead of the
default remote one.

Revisor seemed to be getting confused because it thought it was basing
my new live distro on what it thought was DVD media, and I think it may
have just been unmounting dirs under /var/tmp prematurely, while leaving
entries dangling if I ran 'losetup -a'.  I spent ages wondering where
the iso was meant to be, and had to resort to teaching myself python to
gain some insight.  Once I instead created my own yum repo from the rpms
using createrepo, revisor started working properly.
