%post and errors

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Shouldn't %post (and hence livecd-creator) exit if a shell command fails?

At the moment the %post script prints an error message, but continues, 
resulting in a bad ISO.

The behavior is the same as that of anaconda in this case.  I could
conceivably see a %post --exitonfail or maybe even an option of
--fatalscripts to livecd-creator
