Just following up... hopefully other ones using revisor to create small isos from rsync everything tree (under /data/users/gcecchi/rawhide_os/) could help me here.
So I'm on F8 and using revisor-2.0.5-15.fc8 with an rsynced tree of rawhide
I modified the preconfigured /etc/revisor/conf.d/revisor-rawhide-i386.conf so that it uses local tree without downloading what is already here and avoiding mirrors:

19,20c19,20
< baseurl=file:///data/users/gcecchi/rawhide_os
< #mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=i386
---
> #baseurl=http://localrepo/fedora/development/i386/os/
> mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=i386

The process seems to stop whane creating the iso.
Running revisor from command line with the --debug option I get an error regarding missing .discinfo (see below).
How can I create it and/or put it?

Thanks Gianluca

Ok, so a no go at the moment.
And what would be the simpler way to create an iso image starting from the 14Gb rsync tree?
I'm trying with revisor but perhaps its particular aim is for customizing, while I would like to recreate a sort of daily dvd iso image if it can help for testing purposes...
Thanks,
