Hi, good idea. Unfortunately this will most likely work similarly to current custom spoke -- you'll need to choose if you want to use autopart, manual configuration (custom spoke) or blivet-gui and leaving the spoke will reset the storage configuration. But custom spoke has an option to create the storage configuration automatically and it shouldn't be so hard to add it to blivet-gui too (it can even call the same anaconda/blivet functions).

Add blivet-gui as an alternative option for storage configuration in
Anaconda Installer.


== Detailed Description ==
Add blivet-gui as an alternative option for storage configuration in
Anaconda Installer.
Unlike the current custom partitioning screen in Anaconda, which works
in a top-down way (user specifies mountpoints and their properties),
blivet-gui works with the bottom-up principle (user has full control
to assemble the storage configuration from individual members). By
integrating blivet-gui into anaconda we will make the bottom-up
partitioning available to users during the installation. Blivet-gui is
built on top of the blivet library, which is used by Anaconda for
storage configuration, this makes the change very easy to implement
and doesn't bring new code and dependecies into the installer other
than a relatively small GUI package.


== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
- blivet-gui devs: Prepare blivet-gui for integration into Anaconda --
change the UI to look consistently while running fullscreen inside an
Anaconda spoke, change look and feel of blivet-gui dialogs to match
Anaconda dialogs, add storage configuration sanity checking into
blivet-gui.
- anaconda devs: Add an option to use blivet-gui to the Storage spoke,
add blivet-gui package as a dependency of the anaconda package so that
it is pulled into the installation environment and also add an option
to not show blivet-gui in anaconda if requested (see
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/master/docs/user-interaction-config-file-spec.rst%7C
for detailed explanation how hiding spokes works in Anaconda).
