There's some Glade files that are not in the normal flow of the program that add more options, and then some more. It's a don't try this at home kinda thing, but if you start revisor with '--devel' at least the option becomes available. One other parameter to the advanced options is that you can then select all versions of a given package, where normally you only get to select the latest version of a package. > 2) What does the --respin option to revisor actually do? > A few more details on the behaviour this option changes is at: https://fedorahosted.org/revisor/wiki/KickstartPackageSelection https://fedorahosted.org/revisor/wiki/DependencyResolving#DependencyResol... -- Jeroen

You can create a repository yourself by simply installing the createrepo package, and putting all rpm files you want to be in the repository in one directory (tree).

Re: [revisor-users] [Revisor-users] Creating a custom Spin with a kickstart

Something is wrong in the buildinstall phase, and I guess I'm going to need a bash -x execution of buildinstall to see what exactly is wrong in there. You can edit /usr/share/revisor/scripts/F11-buildinstall to have the first line say: #!/bin/bash -x And execute revisor with --debug 9 again. Maybe also append: sudo revisor --debug 9 2>&1 | tee revisor.log to have all output be included in revisor.log (which you can then send to me). -- Jeroen
