Thanks to those who came to the party :D ..
Anyway, here's a summary on the small discussion we had on a potential
pet project for fedoramy:
codename: Armory
=================
Armory is a tool for developing remix, and managing remix kickstarts
Primary goals:
* improve revisor (or write a replacement)
* come up with a mechanism for cleanly overwriting files from
upstream package,
while not removing them.
* a tool to manage kickstarts and kickstart inheritance
Sideline goal
* Create several remixes to test out/figure out issues with the code for the
primary goals
More Details:
Ok, this will involve lots of coding for a long period of time. Considering our
community doesnt have that many coders in the first place, this can be tricky
to boot. So probably I'll be doing some programming classes for the first few
months to the interested team, but that all will depend on how dedicated are
the volunteers are.
Anyway, for a start, I've spent yesterday creating an initial buildout-powered
egg package for armory which have been somewhat isolated from the system python.
Feature wise, it can build a livecd without issue (thanks to the livecd-creator
libraries)
The code is here : https://dev.inigo-tech.com/svn/izhar/armory.core/trunk/
To deploy, you'll need to be on Fedora 14, with these dependencies
installed from
yum:
* git
* subversion
* python-urlgrabber
* python-pycurl
* rpm-python
* libselinux-python
* system-config-keyboard
* dbus-python
Then, run these commands::
svn co https://dev.inigo-tech.com/svn/izhar/armory.core/trunk/ armory.core
cd armory.core
python bootstrap.py
./bin/buildout -vvv
That should automatically build armory and pull other python dependencies from
the internet.
You can create a livecd using:
./bin/armory-cli <name> <path/to/kickstart.ks>
Caching is enforced by default and is stored in /var/tmp/imgcreate-cache
You can create a configuration file to configure the cache location
[main]
tempdir = /home/user/armory-tmp
cachedir = /home/user/armory-cache
and run armory using:
./bin/armory-cli -c </path/to/config.cfg> <name>
<path/to/kickstart.ks>
And that will make use of the values in the configuration
You can also configure a mirror overwrite in the configuration. eg:
[jaist]
fedora = http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/releases/14/Everything/x86_64/os/
updates = http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/updates/14/x86_64/
and you can make use of the mirror using:
./bin/armory-cli -c </path/to/config.cfg> <name>
<path/to/kickstart.ks> -m jaist
Also, looking at the code of revisor, probably it makes more sense to
just dump revisor and
start writing a new tool .. XD .. the livecd, install cd generator
code seems to be external
libraries anyway.

oh yeah ... forgot to ask
anybody want to code ? XD .. the other goal of the pet project is to
create more coders in the local community so that we can help out with
upstream..

Can we do a 101 on how to code, what to code and how to push it upstream? I
am interested as well and maybe we can include the Debian folks as well. I
can also do my bit for the Geeko people.
We can charge a nominal fee. Folks in AMDI USM Penang may be interested.

Would want to code for fun, but my career state is pretty unstable now.
Would join once i got a 9-6 job or something.
On the other hand, I would ask around the other python people I know.
