Yes, it can be ran in mock.
Fantastic.

Well, it built F7, so you tell me (:
Thanks for the confirmation - for a moment I wasn't sure ;-)
D) did I mention
it's ungodly complicated?
Ok, I get it -

Yes. You could use buildinstall directly to prepare the directory tree
for installability, and then call mkisofs yourself, but pungi helps you
with the preparation steps.
Great. That is the key answer.

How off the beaten path? I've used it for x86 and ppc,
ARM? Assuming the rest if F9 supports it, of course...
I guess my remaining questions are "if I use it on F7, what should I
worry about?", plus some specific errors I am seeing, but I'm happy to
take that to the buildtools list.
