Hi,
When building on a f19 system, is appliance-creator still the best way to build F19

images or should I be using something else?
I recommend Oz (that's what I use all the time to create JEOS images):
Here's a simple script (which provides a simple Oz TDL, and calls 'oz-install'
command.)
# Fetch the script
$ wget
https://github.com/kashyapc/virt-scripts/blob/master/oz/oz-jeos.bash
# Run the oz script (it'll take 5 minutes or so):
$ ./oz-jeos.bash f19-devstack-new f19
# Once install is finished, define the just thrown XML file
# (the below is just an example, change it appropriately)
$ virsh define f19-jeosJul_04_2013-12
# Start the guest over serial console
$ virsh start f19-jeos --console
You can adjust the TDL section of the script according to your needs.
For instance, if you need a 3G disk image (Oz by default creates 10G), you can use this
below TDL:
-----------------
$ cat f19disk3gb.tdl
<template>
<name>devstack</name>
<os>
<name>Fedora</name>
<version>19</version>
<arch>x86_64</arch>
<install type='url'>
<
url>http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Fedora/x8...
</install>
<rootpw>testpwd</rootpw>
</os>
<description>Fedora 19</description>
<disk>
<size>3</size>
</disk>
</template>
-----------------
And, Invoke:
$ oz-install /path/to/tdl file
