[Fedora-livecd-list] Repo Tools Set

[Glen Eustace]

I wonder whether it might be a good idea to have a tool set for managing
the repo. I am assuming that much of it may already exist. For a newbie
like me though, finding the pieces is providing a challenge.

e.g. I have the FC4 base repo ( copied from CDs ), I also maintain a
mirror of the fedora-updates repo for my own internal use, I found a
script that (with a bit of hacking) would let me update the base with
the updates so that a CD is always built from the most recent RPMs. And
all the older RPMs are removed.

By hacking the comps.xml base group, I have now got a Bootable image
that is 163 packages instead of 270. There are still more packages I
want to remove.

I now want to add my custom RPMs to the repo, but this is apparently not
as easily done as said. Apparently, I need to regenerate the hdlist
file. I have been told about genhdlist, which I have found in
anaconda-runtime but the process for adding RPMs is still a little
blurry.
