Based on notting's comment about removing the lib packages from PACKAGES, I
thought we should be able to let upd-instroot do 'yum install anaconda' and
get the tree we need. So I looked at what yum install anaconda would pull
in at first, then moved remaining things that are listed in KEEPFILE* lists
to Requires: tags in the spec file.
This can also make life easier for lorax, as we could rely on 'yum install
anaconda' to set up our tree more or less with the files we need.
My gripe with this is that it makes people have to download/install
these packages twice. Once to get anaconda on the system in order to
run the scripts, or pungi, and then once again to create the mini chroot
that anaconda uses to stage stuff in before putting things in yet a
different chroot. The second install doesn't use the same caching as
the first install, so you wind up downloading things multiple times.
I don't know a good way around this :/
One way around this is a comps group just like buildsys-build. I lack a
good name idea for such group, but it solves package side of the problem.
For the now file based requirements though... Not even sure if KEEPFILE*
was used for downloading additional stuff from the yum repos.
