I have a couple of machines I haven't really updated to FC6 yet, and had been doing test installs to play around with respins on test partitions. I figured when I did the real install I could use the respin with the updates already included. It won't really save me anything in my case, since I have the update rpms available on one of the machines already. The second case, was I might be doing some test FC7 installs before the release in test partitions to help test things. When I was thinking about doing this for FC5, I thought it would be nice to try the test install with the latest development rpms, rather than applying updates after installing with the test iso. I gave up for FC6, but I might try it again for FC7. > > On sort of a related note, is the Pungi project going to just support doing > > respins on the original package set, rather than being able to support > > respins using updated packages? > > Pungi spins with the latest packages it finds in the repos you provide.

It just does the spins, but the user has to make sure the repositories are compatible with anaconda and each other? -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
