I'm saying that the compose tool for a given release is designed to work with the packages from a given release, like anaconda(-runtime), yum, file system creation tools, bootable image creation tools, etc... For this reason, I'm suggesting the use of mock to create a chroot in which to run the compose. You can still make use of local mirrors to get the packages from. Add to that the fact that certain anaconda-runtime tools need to be ran on the arch they are composing, so to compose i386, you need to be on i386 (setarch i386 mock -r foo), to compose x86_64, the same. Ditto ppc, or whatever other arch you may want to compose for. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
