I really, really, really suggest focusing on either
anaconda/livemedia-creator or osbuild (aka composer, aka weldr). These are
maintained by actual active teams. appliance-creator (and omg ThinCrust --
there's a blast from the past) are at best lightly kicked down the road
whenever serious problems develop.
We are currently running a very minimal setup for Fedora/RISCV, just
enough to build packages and produce disk images.
The goal is to get closer to the full blown Fedora infrastructure, but
that requires more human hours and hardware.
With new Linux-capable RISC-V hardware (SiFive Unmatched, Beagleboard
BeagleV, Microchip Icicle Kit, PINE64, Sipeed) hopefully that will
happen sooner than later.
It wouldn't surprise me that anaconda/livemedia-creator or osbuild
require no to minimal change to work, but someone needs to invest time
to attempt it.
