What keeps us from completing livemedia-creator Koji integration for
Fedora 23? And what of the state of pungi?
pungi is python2 and yum only at this point, Brian's DVD claim is not totally
correct. dnf is used to install the packages into the boot.iso but yum is used
to select the packages that are included on the installation DVD and tree.
but then dnf is used to do a install on the end users system. Jon Disnard is
tasked with getting livemedia-creator working in koji but we will enable it in
rawhide first and only consider using it for f23 if it gets done soon enough
and we are sure that it works 100%
