Hi all,
Yesterday I was doing some livemedia-creator runs to figure out kickstart
changes and make sure we get the options right. I had a big shock in the
output of the live-iso option
https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2015-December/msg00019.
html is the email I sent to the anaconda list but I wanted to discuss it
here to make sure we are all on the same page. My expectation was that we
would get an iso that we can ship. What we get is not close to that and
makes it extremely difficult to work with. Us and everyone making and
shipping livecds will need to write something to make the output shipable.

Additionally this morning I found out that making disk images will not work at
all. apparently device-mapper does not work in a mock chroot the response from
the anaconda developers was that we should be doing everything in virt. The
issues with doing things in virt is that we can not ensure that we are running
the correct versions of lorax, something we can do in a mock chroot. We can
not use virt as we do not have the ability to run virt everywhere.
At this point I am not sure the best path forward. but we need to work out
one.
