Hi, I'm the new livecd-tools maintainer

[Brian C. Lane]

Hi, I'm Brian, and I'm you're new livecd-tools maintainer :)

Since the tools are closely involved with the installer we wanted to
move ownership back to someone on the anaconda team.

I've been a user of the tools in previous jobs, so am familiar with some
aspects of them -- I created a liveusb to auto-install Point of Sale
systems with a customized version of F9, and I regularly use
livecd-iso-to-disk when testing new anaconda builds.

[Taylor, Monroe E]

So as the new maintainer, will you be addressing the Bug 628235 - "Anaconda installer crashes with latest update" reported?

That's a tough one. Anaconda is essentially frozen when we hit a
release since we have to move on and work on the next release. I see
that Valent Turkovic hasn't updated the bug as to whether or not
excluding the updates worked.

As anaconda uses more system utilities we are likely to see more bugs
like this where the dependencies have 'moved on' since the release was
made.

I saw the bugzilla reassigned the ownership of the bugs related to
livecd-creator to you. We remix creators often use livecd-creator. Sadly
livecd-creator created F13 iso images won't work because of couple of bugs,
Please look into them ASAP.

Since everyone who answered you so far complained about bugs to fix, I
would like to just say welcome and that's it :-)

Maybe I can say welcome, and add a blanket complaint about rhbz
#1-#1000000. That ought to stem the flow, by making any further
complaints redundant (at least for a few years).

I think that's a good move! Welcome!

I do not want to jump on the bandwagon of "are you going to fix this"
but I would like to express the importance of being able to respin
fedora distibutions and put them on CD/DVD and USB sticks. A non-working
CD or USB stick is very bad publicity for Fedora.

To quote Aragon (in the movie) at Helm's Deep:
You are most welcome!
