[Fedora-livecd-list] newbie question: FC3 and kadischi error

[Eric White]

I've applied the kadischi python patches (anaconda, etc) successfully,
or at least there were no errors reported:

1) I've got a current, rsync'ed FC3 repository.  
2) I made a bunch of softlinks from my repository to a Kadischi working
directory and then trimmed those softlinks down to the minimum set of
packages I wanted,
3) I then did the genhdlist, pkgorder, genhdlist jig. 
4) I modified my comps.xml to match the files I have in my kadischi
working directory. (btw, I'm working on an embryonic XSL file that
treats the comps.xml file as ground truth and creates the soft-links and
generates a shell script to run the rest of the build.... I think this
could be a good way of treating comps.xml as the origin of the distro
contents. I hope to post this once it's not embarrassingly incomplete).
5)  I have a minimal ks start (derived from a previous kickstart I had
(for an installation CD) and the minimal ks file provided in the
Kadischi installation,
6) I run Kadischi and get:

[root@casablanca interim]# ../../tools/kadischi/kadischi -C --
kickstart=../build/iongate-ks.cfg `pwd` `pwd`/test.iso

Now we are going to try to validate your repository (for now, only http,
ftp and local repositories can be checked)
Path /home/ewhite/src/rnsa/interim exists. OK
Path /home/ewhite/src/rnsa/interim/Fedora exists. OK
Path /home/ewhite/src/rnsa/interim/Fedora/base exists. OK
Path /home/ewhite/src/rnsa/interim/Fedora/RPMS exists. OK
Repository seems to be OK.
