Don't Abort on Unresolved Dependencies

by Smith, Mark E CTR USAF AFMC AEDC/ATA

I saw in a thread "How to ensure minimum version of packages?," 19 March 2008, a reference to disabling abort for unresolved dependencies. How do you do that? I am working on a machine without internet access using local repositories. The repositories are not complete and collecting all the dependencies and putting them on the machine piecemeal is painful.

matchpathcon error during chroot install

by Warren Togami

The following happens during installation of a chroot. You can reproduce this with: yum install ltsp-server ltsp-build-client Installing: kernel ##################### [245/342] /dev/mapper/control: matchpathcon 0020000 failed: No such file or directory Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver. Anybody have any idea where is calling matchpathcon? I don't see this skimming through the kernel and mkinitrd sources, so it might be elsewhere. Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

One big and some smaller issues with current live images

by Sebastian Vahl

Hi. I just want to ask a few question if these issues are already know or, if not, worth to bug. I'm quite busy ATM, so I want to ask before do doubled work. :) First the big one: Selinux is preventing the live image user to get root privileges. /bin/su isn't executable for him and "liveinst" also fails with an "unknown error". If I switch to TTY1 and disable enforcing with "setenforce 0" both are working. So this is likely a SELinux issue. And the smaller ones happen during the creation of the images: 1. warning: basesystem-8.1-1: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 2. warning: fonts-KOI8-R-100dpi-1.0-10.fc8: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 30c9ecf8 3.

RFC: PATCH: multi-partition disk image + python logging API

by David Huff

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have been playing around with the appliance/disk creator stuff that Daniel P. Berrange posted to the list back in February: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/2008-February/msg00085... Daniel has broken this functionality in to three patches. 1. Make-use-of-python-logging-API-for-debug-messages.patch 2. Refactor-disk-mount-classes-to-allow-multi-partition.patch 3. Add-appliance-disk-creator.patch The later still has a couple bugs that need to be worked out however I am looking for comments on the first two which are attached. I can try to split the second patch into smaller chunks if that would make it easier, however I think it makes sense to have it as one patch.

Minimal development environment on Livecd

by James Gallagher

Hi, Please can you include a minimal development envrionment on the LiveCD release, in F8 it's less than 20mb, the files required are binutils-2.17.50.0.18-1.i386.rpm gcc-4.1.2-33.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.7-2.i386.rpm glibc-headers-2.7-2.i386.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.i686.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.i386.rpm libgomp-4.1.2-33.i386.rpm make-3.81-10.fc8.i386.rpm patch-2.5.4-30.fc8.i386.rpm This enables installing ndiswrapper, madwifi drivers etc without an internet connection Cheers :) James ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Building Live CD from externally-created ext3 file system

by Todd N

Hello, I'm new to the list so pardon me if I break any etiquette rules... it's not intentional. :-) The description of the Live CD Creator application found on Fedora's website includes a section on the steps performed by livecd-creator (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/LiveCDHowTo#head-275d791c27ecc... ). My question is whether there is a way to build a live CD using a / (ext3) filesystem created by some other means. Basically I'd like to be able to perform the last three steps listed in the document referenced above: * Creates a squashfs file system containing only the ext3 file (compression) * Configures the boot loader * Creates an iso9660 bootable CD We have already built a system and have it working exactly the way we want it. Is there a way to take that filesystem, compress it, and build the CD without having to go through the system configuration, package selection, and all the custom configs at the end? We'd like to build a CD that has maximum flexibility for compatible hardware. I appreciate any help that can be offered. Thanks.
