In the common case we're going to be running Anaconda under a Fedora
kernel, so we should already have the kernel packaging name in the uname
output from EXTRAVERSION - presumably we can just parse that out and use
it to detemrine the package name? You'd want a way to manually override
that for bootstrapping, but that might well be a desirable feature
anyway.
Yes, we can parse the platform from a Fedora kernel, but I was concerned
about the possible situation where we were not running a Fedora kernel.
A command line option to override the platform sounds like a good option
there, and it would also permit us to build images for a target other
than the build host.
I would appreciate suggestions on how to implement the command line
option. I think this would most likely be needed when running
livemedia-creator to create disk images. Currently I create the images
using:
livemedia-creator \
--make-disk --no-virt --image-only --keep-image \
--ks=/root/f17-TS-hfp.ks
Should we add a command line option, like "--platform=...", to
livemedia-creator? Would we also need a command line option for
anaconda itself?
Thank you,
