Testing patches made to anaconda is relatively easy given the capability
of using an updates image. However, when a change involves anaconda and
python-blivet and/or (as in my case) pykickstart, it is more complicated
because, to the best of my knowledge, you need to respin an ISO to do
the test.
Now a bunch of years ago (ten to twelve to be exact) I did do some work
requiring that I rebuild the anaconda boot and found it a faily easy
thing to do. Time passes and anaconda code has changed. in addition,
we now have pungi, lorax, etc. to help us build ISOs. Well, I have just
spent the last three days beating my head against the wall.
First of all, pungi/lorax does not work well if it is working with
anything other than the single rawhide repository -- e.g., it expects
the syslinux package (and other packages too) to be in the first
repository or it cannot find it and the build fails.
Most important for me is that pungi/lorax cannot build an ISO with a
working BTRFS.
So ... help ... please!
Can someone tel me how to make pungi/lorax produce an ISO with a working
BTRFS?
Or, can someone point me to the software you folks use to build an ISO
when you want to test changes to
anaconda/pykickstart/python-blivet/etc.? This may not be specifiic
software but more of a process or procedure but the current pungi/lorax
it is not.
