Background: appliance-creator, as part of Thincrust, isn't really maintained anymore. It'd be nice to switch to something else. There's two main options that I can see: 1. ami-creator, as maintained by the Eucalyptus project. This basically works the same way as the appliance-creator but is maintained. 2. livemedia-creator. This does a "real" install, using anaconda inside a VM. The second has the obvious disadvantage of needing to launch a VM. Richard Jones suggest that running under fully-emulated qemu layered in a VM builder might not be so bad because we'll be io-bound anyway. It has the advantage of doing exactly what anaconda does, which will make it easier to track the standard Fedora install. We'd also be less insulated from possible breakage due to anaconda development, which from an overall point of view is both good and bad. In any case, I'd like to start running an image creation task automatically nightly if possible. What do the people actually running the builders think about this? -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure
