Is there any reason for that restriction? As I understand it only the BuildInstall stage must run on the architecture (and distro) it is composing due to running anaconda tools. Suggestions for alternatives? The pungi features I like most are (1) easy way to select the packages (and groups!) I want to mirror. (2) the (global) package cache. the package is especially useful when mirroring both i386 and x86_64 versions of a distro, as the i386 packages which are also part of the x86_64 version don't get downloaded twice. It also saves downloads when creating a new repo where you have alot of the packages already on your disk (happens if you track rawhide and some day create a f10 repo). thanks, Gerd -- http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/xenner/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
