Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] some lessons learned
I guess I should've been clearer in the other email. When I'm doing
stuff like this I'll document what I'm doing and why (either in an
email or wiki). A lot of times I'm putting in what I think I'm going
to see and then I fix my notes based on what really happens. Works
pretty well in general, but definitely not the approach to take if
you're going to accidently hit send before you're ready.

Hrmm -- it should. If it's not, that's a bug. And in fact, I know
that
I sometimes create repos with updates beyond what's in rawhide without
using createrepo -d. What sort of error are you seeing otherwise?
