Short and simple question: Which kickstart will be the base for the alpha of the KDE live images, livecd-fedora-base-desktop.ks [1] from livecd GIT or fedora-live-base.ks [2] from spin-kickstarts GIT? The diff between them is quite huge (eg. one still has gparted and the other one already includes firstaidkit) and I don't want to rely on the wrong one.

At the moment, the official spins are still being done with the configs from the livecd-tools git repo.
Jeroen -- we need to talk about what the long-term answer is because having _3_ copies of the files[1] just isn't really scalable :-) But I'm a bit hosed schedule-wise this week, so maybe next week once the alpha is baked?

[1] livecd-tools repo, spins repo and then also in fedora-release

Ohw? Who decided that?

That depends. Someone decided the live spin kickstarts needed to be maintained in two separate repositories by making the official spins come from livecd-tools' GIT repo. When that happened, or why, I don't know. Nor do I know what objections there are to a new location, including it's new (submission/review) process. What's keeping livecd-tools, release engineering, hence "the official process" from using the kickstarts in spin-kickstarts exactly?
I say two locations, because the fedora-10-gold.ks used for installation media is in pungi (and? or?) fedora-release, not in spin-kickstarts, and as such doesn't concern this discussion.
FWIW, my livecd-tools GIT commit access request has been pending for ages. I was planning on letting the kickstarts have an easy transition, but I guess it's not going to happen.
I feel I'm contributing a valuable effort to this process, thanks.
