[Revisor-users] adding rpms to respin dvd

[Arno Karner]

the way I'm trying to do it, is create your own yum repository
add that repository to the /etc/revisor/conf.d config file you will be using
using the gui select your packages, or use a kickstart file.
Some third party repos work, others don't (unknown reason)

If you want more than one boot option with a kickstart file, you will have to deconstruct the resping
edit the isolinux.cfg file and add your extra kickstart files and regen the iso image with the added files

Unknown:
  How to use %include directive in kick start files, so that host1, 2, 3 can include common 
  disk partitioning, common packages, and still include there own config rpms
  trying to use any kind of a path in the %include statment won't work for the 
  /etc/revisor/conf.d and the cdrom image, but what I've read on the kickstart spec, they don't
  mention if they %include file is relative to the directory of the main kickstart file

Problems:
  not all the files from kickstart rpms are included (reason unknown)
  rpms are not loaded in the right order (dependency sorting problem)(maybe my problem not putting Requires: in the right place in the spec file)
  rpms that are missing, not always identified during build (reason unknown)(identified by anaconda at install time)
  the anaconda generated kick start file, does not reflect what packages where installed via kickstart, gets the disk partitioning though

Admissions:
  I know not all my rpms are setup right yet, to be on the first disk, always put mine on second disk and installed with a shell script
  working on checking and fixing broken rpms, and trying to identify why they not included on the respin media

Testing:
  next test will pull the httpd logs, and compare with what packages are missing, and what packages can be installed on remote
  machines using the same yum repo that revisor is suppose to use.
