Hi, remix authors rejoice: I have ported the old livecd-creator from yum to dnf (in one night): https://github.com/kkofler/livecd-tools (The other tools in the package were also ported away from yum and its rpmUtils to dnf, but livecd-creator was the main user of yum stuff.) So, if you are unhappy with livemedia-creator for whatever reason, e.g.: * because of its heavy weight, requiring the whole Anaconda, * because of its lack of persistent caching (which was the dealbreaker for me), * because of more stringent requirements on the kickstart (in particular, livemedia-creator requiring more changes to your existing kickstarts), * because livecd-creator "is more friendly when kickstarts are broken or packages are missing" (quote from a Korora commit message), or whatever, you will probably appreciate it. Some caveats: * It works for me, but of course there is only so much testing you can do in only a few hours of work including the porting. * It is still using Python 2, and thus needs python2-dnf (which nothing else needs). If somebody feels like porting it to Python 3, that should be easy now that it uses dnf, so please feel free. I would be happy to take a pull request for that. * The switch to dnf may change the dependency resolving in a way that may or may not be an improvement. * In particular, you will probably have to explicitly add these packages: kernel-modules kernel-modules-extra to your kickstart to avoid getting the kernel-debug* versions dragged in. For my KDE Fedora Remix Kannolo, I also had to explicitly add pinentry-qt to my kickstart to avoid having pinentry-gnome3 dragged in instead. These changes are completely backwards-compatible with the original yum version of livecd-tools. (They should not have any effect there.)
