The --skipcopy option in livecd-iso-to-disk was implemented to aid testing
and boot configuration file recovery (see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.livecd/2682).
I've found that it will overwrite both an existing persistent overlay and
home.img, if they exist. This is unintentional destructive behavior.
While it may seem that one wouldn't ask for a new overlay or home folder
AND skipcopy--during the testing of scripts, this is a reasonable scenario.
I've filed a bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=582051,
containing the attached skipcopy.patch.
Please review and advise me on how to proceed.
This is a piece of a project to enhance the livecd-iso-to-disk script for
the Sugar on a Stick customization kit project, but it has more general
benefits.
advise.
I'm planning now to submit smaller change patches to make review easier.
