#13: Port Cloud Image Kickstart to anaconda/imagefactory ------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: mattdm | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 21 (Branch) Component: Cloud Base Image | Resolution: Keywords: | ------------------------------+---------------------------------

Comment (by ausil):

Replying to [ticket:13 mattdm]:

Rel-Eng is updating to Koji 1.9, which will allow us to use Anaconda and

ImageFactory for image creation instead of appliance-creator.

• What: The current kickstart file is full of kludges for appliance-

creator. Port to anaconda/imagefactory kludges only kludge is to make sure the right kernel is installed.

• Where: same as ongoing maintenance of kickstart
• Why: appliance-creator is being retired; anaconda-based installs are

the way forward Not true it is not being retired, it will still be around and supported for some time yet.

• When: As soon as this is available in Koji. Need a new ImageFactory

release, then patches into Koji for support, then a new Koji release, then Koji needs to be updated in Fedora production Koji is being updated tomorrow

• Who: Ian McLeod is working on ImageFactory; Jay Greguske on the Koji

patches, Mike McLean is Koji maintainer, Dennis Gilmore in release engineering will do the Koji update. Need to work with them to get this in place, and then someone from cloud wg needs to do the updating.
