streamlining fedora remix creation

[valent.turkovic at gmail.com]

Hi,
as you probably know I work on Fusion Linux Fedora Remix (www.fusionlinux.org).

My biggest problem is lack of sysadmin and development knowledge and
because of that I have to do lots of things maniually, and I know they
can be automated and streamlined but have no idea where to start.

If you work on a simple Fedora Remix then all you do is done via
simple edits in kickstart but when you go further than that things get
very complicated very quickly. For example if you want to use make
some system changes or provide additional files then you need to
create new rpm package, manage .spec files from rpm packages as they
evolve, rebuild new rpm packages, upload them to your repository and
rebuild repo metadata.

I currently do all this manually and that is just wrong, time
consuming and not open to other contributors.

If anybody can help us out by providing some guidance, best practices
and tutoring that would be awesome. We would help with creating wiki
pages and blog post to further spread this knowledge and help more
people create their own Fedora Remixes.

Cheers,
Valent.
