Spins repo directives (draft)

Where are they

There are repo directives in the kickstart file for a few base spins. Currently:

  • fedora-live-base
  • fedora-aos
  • fedora-live-mini
  • fedora-install-fedora
    • This one shouldn't be changed, as it is set up a bit differently because it is used with pungi, not livecd-creator. Otherwise it would pull all packages that satisfy dependencies rather than just one.

What should they contain

They should contain the following repo commands with either the rawhide repo command or both of the fedora and updates repo commands commented out (using a leading #). The updates-testing repo command should always be commented out.

  • repo --name=rawhide --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=$basearch
  • repo --name=fedora --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
  • repo --name=fedora-updates --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch
  • #repo --name=fedora-updates-testing --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-testing-f$releasever&arch=$basearch

When to change which repo(s) is used

The idea is to have the repos point to repo that will next be used to build spins.

  • When development is branched, the rawhide repo command should be commented out and the fedora and fedora-updates repo commands should be uncommented.
  • When the git repo is branched shortly after a release the rawhide repo command should be uncommented and the fedora and fedora-updates repo commands should be commented out.
