package fedora-kickstarts (previously called spin-kickstarts.)
I comment-out all the @Languages to save about 1GB of space on the platter
and many minutes of time, and I adjust the repo(s) according to the state
of the release (rawhide, branched, beta, final); see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755678
So at the moment I would use the repos fedora-16 and fedora-16-updates
as described in your /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo. The .ks file would have:
repo --name=fedora-16 --mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch --exclude kernel*debug* --exclude kernel-kdump* --exclude syslog-ng --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-devel --exclude astronomy-bookmarks --exclude generic* --exclude
java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc --exclude btanks* --exclude GConf2-dbus* --exclude bluez-gnome
repo --name=fedora-16-updates --mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch --exclude kernel*debug* --exclude kernel-kdump* --exclude syslog-ng --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-devel --exclude astronomy-bookmarks --exclude generic* --exclude
java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc --exclude btanks* --exclude GConf2-dbus* --exclude bluez-gnome
Then I invoke pungi via:
DESTIDR=/path/to/existing/destination/directory
VERSION=16
export ARCH=x86_64
rm -rf $DESTDIR/work/$ARCH
rm -rf $DESTDIR/$VERSION/$ARCH
export LC_ALL=C
sudo setenforce 0
pungi -c fedora-install-fedora.ks --destdir=$DESTDIR --name Fedora --ver $VERSION --nosource
Remember to build and install the treebuilder code from lorax before running pungi.
